Tracesmart Celebrate Successful Father's Day Campaign

    CARDIFF, WALES, June 19, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tracesmart this week announced the winner of their inaugural Father's Day Campaign competition. The GBP100 M& S gift voucher on offer was won by Janina Clarke and was presented to her in time to celebrate the finding of her father on the forthcoming Father's Day. The online people search specialists have reported a wave of visitors to their site since the competition was launched almost a month ago, reflecting the campaign's success.

The aim of the campaign was to reunite as many fathers as possible with their offspring, whilst also promoting the ease by which people are able to find missing relatives using the company's online search facility. Tracesmart has previously helped thousands of families to be reunited; their online people search service enables consumers to search the edited electoral roll for family or friends within the comfort of their home.

The chosen winner was selected from a shortlist of successful searches; Janina and her sister had been searching for their father for many years. Their parents had separated when they were young, and the girls grew up not knowing their father's whereabouts or how to find him. The Tracesmart customer service team regularly uncover stories similar to this, and sympathise with those involved.

Sarah Lawrence, Tracesmart's Customer Services Manager explained, "We were contacted by several individuals who had decided to carry out a trace in time for father's day. Janina provided sufficient information to start a trace and following an address search which utilised information from her grandfather's death certificate, we were able to locate Janina's father, Ronald. The searches were all performed on the Tracesmart website, clearly demonstrating how the site can be used effectively to find relatives or friends."

"I'm surprised that the information was found so quickly, and it didn't cost very much either," Janina commented, "Someone suggested that I use a private investigator to find my father, which would have cost me a few hundred pounds, so I'm delighted to have found my father without spending too much. Thank you to Tracesmart for making this possible."

In addition to helping reunite fathers with their children, the campaign has also seen traffic and visitor numbers to the Tracesmart site increase significantly, supporting the company's continued growth despite the current economic climate.
