Brands — especially QSR chains — are launching special promotions in recognition of National Chicken Wing Day. bb.q Chicken, for instance, kicks off the holiday with a special offer and a sweepstakes for a chance to win a trip to Korea. On July 29 and 30, customers using the new bb.q Rewards app can get a 20% discount on their orders, up to a $15 maximum, by using the code WINGDAY24. This promotion aims to introduce more customers to bb.q Chiccken's loyalty program. Upon sign-up, individuals will receive 7,000 bonus points.
Arguably a more exciting opportunity stemming from the National Chicken Wing Day celebrations is the chance to win a trip to Korea. In partnership with the Korea Tourism Organization, bb.q Chicken is offering a sweepstakes where ten fans will win roundtrip tickets to Korea and a $100 bb.q Chicken gift card. This celebration highlights bb.q Chicken's commitment to quality, featuring its distinctive Korean fried chicken prepared with a unique low and slow frying method.
