Enter to win a Zepto laptop gaming computer

Young professionals, ages 21 through 34, are one of the target audiences of the City’s marketing efforts to attract homebuyers to Dearborn. Since the WelcomeHomeDearborn.com™ was introduced in late 2007, the web site has been used as one of the main ways to let this group and others know about area homes for sale along with the many reasons to live, work and play in Dearborn.

In follow up to the success of an online “Why I Love Dearborn!” Sweepstakes hosted on the web site earlier this year, the Welcome Home Dearborn campaign is offering a random online drawing for web site visitors to win a laptop gaming computer.

According to a consumer market research report by Paul Jackson for North American Consumer Technographics, computer gaming is more than just a youth pursuit; however, Gen Y consumers (young professionals) have shown the greatest dedication to video gaming.

Participants for the online drawing, which runs from August 1 through August 15, 2008, must be at least 18 years of age and are limited to one entry per person.

A winner will be selected at random to receive a high powered Zepto 6224W gaming computer offered by Zepto USA, www.zeptousa.com, and uniquely personalized by Laptop Design USA, www.laptopdesignusa.com, both of which are innovative new companies to Dearborn.

“Our Welcome Home Dearborn campaign to attract home buyers and retain current home owners is very fortunate to have the support of Dearborn businesses like these,” said Mayor John B. O’Reilly. “With all the great housing options we have available in Dearborn, we hope this drawing will attract new visitors to take a serious look at Dearborn as a great place to settle down.”
