It is coming next year. I know that many of you are avid coal burners, consumed with your "burnin love", so I want to open the floor for suggestions on a small way to recognize this moment in our history. Special paint, logos, or what....?

Do something different, sell them at the same price you sold them thirty years ago! OK back to reality. Sell one at that price to the winner of a contest. Dream up a contest that will get you new customers.

I like the contest idea, but, those that have one don't need another, and those that are going to buy one, have already found you. Although a new buyer would sure like a "contest winning price", and perhaps that in itself would generate extra word of mouth. How do you advertise other than the website? If you have regular Radio, TV, newspaper ads, then, sure, have names submitted have a draw one winner contest.
The whole series for this year could have a special paint job, or at least a special decal.

Any ideas as to what the special bumper sticker or paint job should look like?
How about a large sticker with the color of annivrsary (like marriage) and it lasts for 5 years to the next anniversary date, good way to know when you stoker was built. Include different logos into the symble for each of the 5 years to know the exact year it was built and turn to the next marriage date with the new color and so on.
