Census 2010 Guarantee
Posted by: | CommentsAs you are aware, between March and July of this year a new American national census will be conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. We understand you need to stay up-to-date with your census and GeoCoding data, and in light of this we have established a Census 2010 Guarantee for anyone purchasing pdCensus2000, pdGeoTIGER or pdSuite Master Collection during calendar year 2010:
January 1, 2010
THIS IS OUR GUARANTEE:
If you buy pdCensus2000 or pdGeoTIGER v1 this year, your full purchase price will be credited towards the purchase of the new Census 2010 version of the same database product – pdCensus2010 and pdGeoTIGER v2 respectively – when released. Your credit can be as much as the full purchase price of the new product.
Even better, if you buy pdSuite Master Collection this year, you receive both new Census 2010 version database products free of charge.
To acquire your Census 2010 Guarantee credit or free copies, simply contact us with your purchase information once you see the new version has been released. A reminder will also automatically be sent to you. You have until December 31, 2012 to claim your Census 2010 Guarantee credit or free copies.

Peacock Data, Inc.
ADDITIONAL NOTICE: those who made their purchase prior to 2010 will receive a partial credit towards the respective Census 2010 releases. Contact us for complete details.

About Peacock Data, Inc.
Our President/CEO began doing business more than two decades ago as Donald Fish Consulting, which later became Donald Fish Data Management. At first it was one Commodore-128 computer, one Epson dot-matrix printer, one employee and a lot of optimism. Since that time the customer base has grown from a handful to hundreds, and on January 1, 2003 Donald Fish formed Peacock Data, Inc. headquartered in Chatsworth, California, 25 miles north of Los Angeles.
A SERVICE COMPANY: At our original website www.PeacockData.com, you will be able to read about and purchase our quality data management services ranging from list scrubbing to custom programming and beyond.
