Who Knows Mo’? Yardstick Software Knows Mo’!!!
In our bid to raise money for prostate cancer research, Yardstick Software teamed up with the gang at Westjet to determine whose Movember moustache rated highest. Our guys worked hard to grow facial hair that could rival Hans Langseth (uh, he’s the world record holder for the longest beard, measuring in at 17.5 feet) and when all the ratings were tallied, our winner was Yardstick Software’s ringer, Mark Riep!
We’re proud to say that Yardstick Software raised a team total of $7,182.00 in our efforts! This includes a generous donation from the Westjet team, who had to pony up as a result of their crushing defeat at the hands of Mark.
Why Did This Partnership Happen?
The Westjet / Yardstick partnership was brought about as a result of Westjet’s stellar customer service and their innovative use of social media. Chris LaBossiere, co-owner of Yardstick Software, stepped of a Westjet flight landing in Phoenix to find that another traveller had inadvertently taken his bag off the baggage belt. Always at the forefront of identifying and solving customer issues, Westjet used Twitter to connect with Chris and help facilitate the return of Chris’ missing bag. From that point on, it was a Twitter marriage made in heaven!
Congratulations to Mark, the Westjet gang, and everyone who participating in the Movemeber movement.
