Twelve individuals were announced as the winners of the Häagen-Dazs “free Dazzler for a year” giveaway. The winners participated in the Häagen-Dazs scratch-and-win promotion that ran in the fall.

“Americans have craved the Dazzler since we put it on the menu more than a decade ago and these lucky 12 winners now have a free pass to enjoy it for the entire year,” says Dawn Uremovich, president of Häagen-Dazs Shops. “Seeing how much our customers enjoyed the opportunity to win through the promotion certainly reinforced with us how passionate people our for Häagen-Dazs desserts.”

In addition to the 12 winners, during the giveaway period more than $75,000 worth of Häagen-Dazs products was presented to consumers through scratch-and-win cards. Prizes included money-saving coupons, free bottles of water, and free Dazzler desserts.

The promotion also included a Facebook application for users to send friends a virtual Dazzler dessert of their choice. The application promoted the scratch-and-win opportunity.

“Distinctive, indulgent, frozen desserts like the Dazzler remain a symbol of our Shops,” Uremovich says. “We distinguish ourselves in the frozen dessert category with the best ingredients available. It’s what we’ve built our rich, stable history around.”
