Alumnus Owned/Operated Cruz Thru Media Celebrates 1st Anniversary at Oakland University

November 1, 2013 marked the first anniversary for Cruz Thru Media, the self-service DVD rental kiosk located in the Oakland Center at Oakland University. The kiosk was launched in 2012 by Eric Franchy, OU SBA Class of 2011. Cruz Thru Media plans to celebrate its first anniversary with amazing deals and giveaways all November long.

Cruz Thru Media kicked off the celebration with dollar days; renting all movies at just $1 per day throughout November. It also announced a Free TV Challenge: If the Cruz Thru Media Facebook page hits 365 likes by November 30, 2013, the small business will give away a 19” HDTV. If both Cruz Thru Media Twitter followers and membership also reach 365, the company will upgrade the size of the free TV to 32”. The winner will be selected randomly from Cruz Thru Media’s Facebook fans, Twitter followers, and members. Winner will be announced by December 7, 2013. Cruz Thru Media will also be giving away free rentals to its members, Facebook fans, Twitters followers, and other lucky members of the OU campus community.

Owner, operator, and self-proclaimed CEO, Eric Franchy, reflects on his first year in business: ‘Being an entrepreneur is an awesome experience. In this first year, Cruz Thru Media has had over 1,000 rentals, rose over $250 for March for Babies, and assisted another OU grad in landing a full time position as a graphic designer. I am sincerely grateful to all our members, fans, followers and other members of the community that continue to support this small business, and look forward to celebrating many more Cruz Thru Media milestones with them.’
