NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-It's where customers take their family and friends.
Swift Auto Center of North Platte took home the title in the first-ever North Platte Post/Eagle Radio Jingle/Slogan Showdown.
Readers could listen to jingles and slogans from local businesses, then vote for their favorite. After the votes were tallied, Swift Auto Center's catch jingle won.
"Before our second year of being open, we thought, we need a jingle," said Joe Swift. "We jotted down some thoughts like fun, and no pressure, then came up with the slogan where customers send their families and friends."
Swift said they called on the skills of a local musician to put it all together.
"We contacted local musician Kevin Kennedy and asked if he could help us create a jingle," said Swift. "A short time later, he came and said what do you think of this."
Swift said they thought it was amazing the first time they heard it and felt it perfectly captured their business.
"We love our jingle, and we're glad others do as well," said Swift.
Second place in the contest went to Kelsey's Place, and in third place, was Hot Tub Pros.
Tammy G. won a gift card package for casting her vote under the Contest tab on the Post.
