TESTIMONIALS
Dennis, just fyi, regarding VSTracking.com using your Priiize.com virtual scratch off game, let’s just say that it’s added a ton of excitement, engagement and hundreds more new leads to our campaign as a sponsor of NOVA’s event…absolutely would not have been this successful without Priiize and all of your help!
Frank Elge,
VS Tracking Software
Our Digital Scratch Off game went great for our Student event! It took a little time for me to understand how it ran and set it up but once I got that down and launched it, the game ran without a hitch. Whenever I had a question or didn’t understand something Dennis responded quickly, either by phone or email, and took the time to walk me through things. We will work with Priiize.com and run it again in the near future!

“The value of priiize.com to me lies in its simplicity – the ability for non-technical small business owners like me to create something that might otherwise take hundreds of dollars to set up and hundreds more each time I want to tweak it.”
