Win up to $40 in Rainbow Resource credit
for sharing your experiences with us!
It’s true - if you’ve read or used a product that we sell, you have an “expert opinion” to share. But it’s not only about sharing; submitting a customer review for a product can also win you money to spend at Rainbow! We are impressed at the number and quality of the customer reviews we’ve received each month, and other customers benefit from being able to see several perspectives on a product they’re interested in. So, we’ve increased the prize amounts for winning reviews!
Each month first place winners will receive $40 in credit, second place winners will receive $20 in credit, and third place winners will win $10 in credit for their reviews. Reviews chosen as “honorable mentions” will receive $5 in Rainbow credit. Winners will be contacted by e-mail each month, and the prize credit will be applied to their accounts. We try to reward writers who have put some thought and consideration into their reviews, but all contributions are valuable, and we appreciate you taking the time to submit them.
What? You’ve never submitted a product review before, but would like to? Simply locate the product on our website that you would like to add a review for then click the “Add Customer Review” link beneath the product’s description. We’ve supplied a few questions that we often get about products to help get you started. Who knows? Maybe we’ll be contacting you with Rainbow credit next month! All approved reviews are posted with the corresponding product, and winning reviews also appear on our home page.

Sandra P. on how students really learn literature with Progeny Press Study Guides
In short, Progeny Press Guides not only test the student to make sure he understands what he has read, but lead him to a thorough analysis of the story, a much deeper analysis than I have found in textbooks or other study guides.

“Small, cute and fun, adults and children alike with fall in love with the varying Nyokkis that we offer. Whether you choose the Chickee, Froggie or Monkey, you will find endless fun trimming and styling its hair. When it is not in the need of a trim simply display it on your desk at work or on a shelf at home. These little guys are ideal for topping off those already full Christmas stockings!”

Jill, one of our warehouse zone leaders, recommends the Pig E Banks:
“The look on your child’s face when you drop money in is priceless. The Pig E Bank wiggles and oinks with each coin drop and my 2-year old nephew and 3-year old niece giggled and laughed for hours saying ‘more, more!’ It honestly was one of the best gifts I could have given them; they absolutely loved it. Advice: make sure you have enough change to last the day.”

Amy, one of our accounts payable representatives, recommends the Oball Original:
“I gave Oballs to my nephew when he was 1-2 years old. My sister kept one at home and one in the car because they were his favorite toy and always kept him entertained. The one for the car got lost and I received a frantic phone call from my sister to get another Oball because Logan just wasn’t happy without it! He now has one of every Oball we carry.”
