As part of this spring’s strengthening of the Sumitomo Agency network, all agency staff where invited to enter a completion to win one of four Apple 64mb WiFi iPads. They simply need to answer some quiz questions about ReTain, ParaMite and Samurai to go into the draw.

The promotion was part of a wider campaign to fire up the network prompted by new registrations for Paramite and Samurai. Initially the agents were concentrated in pome fruit, stone fruit and table grape production areas. However, both ParaMite and Samurai were recently registered on wine grapes, while the new ParaMite label now extends to tomatoes, capsicums and citrus.

Sumitomo Managing Director, Tony Brookes said “This has provided the perfect opportunity to fire up the entire network and we are producing a whole new range of promotional and technical materials to further train and support our Agents”.

“Our agents are critical to developing these products and expanding sales. We want them to be skilled, motivated and suitably rewarded for their efforts”.

The four lucky winners drawn out in October were:

• Mark Nish. Elders Robinvale, Victoria.
• Michael Russell. Landmark Margaret River, WA.
• Sam Beggs. I K Caldwell. Shepparton, Vic.
• Adam Upton. Landmark Wandin North, Vic.
