Leading global travel retailer Avolta targeted Latin American consumers with a series of high-profile promotions and raffle draws at its airport locations last year. Running throughout 2023, the campaign spanned Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Uruguay, offering customers the chance to win luxury prizes such as cars, motorbikes, boats, and travel packages.
Participants who purchased from participating brands were eligible for the exciting rewards. In Argentina particularly, winners got the chance to take home a range of vehicles, including quad bikes and electric scooters, while a hybrid Jeep Compass was awarded at Rio de Janeiro Galeão International Airport in Brazil.
In Mexico, a lucky shopper won a Mini Cooper at Cancún Airport, and a BMW motorbike was also awarded to another lucky winner. Avolta's promotion, which underscored its commitment to exceptional customer experiences, was also widely advertised across its stores, website, social networks, and loyalty programs.
