Smint to offer chance to win an iPad everyday in new promotion

On 1 February 2012 Perfetti Van Melle’s mint brand, Smint, will offer consumers the chance to win an iPad every day until the 30th April 2012.

The brand, which is aimed at 16 to 34-year-olds and does particularly well in commuter areas and city centres, is keen to attract new consumers.

Aimee Reason, Perfetti Van Melle brand manager for Smint and Mentos, says: “We felt that offering consumers the chance to win an iPad every single day would resonate with our young, tech savvy target audience that traditionally buys Smint, particularly with commuters who are often time-poor - the ease of entry should greatly reduce participation barriers.”

The competition will be communicated across nearly 1.5million specially wrapped Smint packs – marking the brand’s first ever on-pack promotion, and will be supported via in-store POS.

Each special promotional pack features a cellophane wrap with a unique hidden code printed on the inside. By texting this to the number on-pack, consumers will be entered into that day’s draw and informed via text whether or not they’ve won, following each daily draw.

Sally O’Brien, group account director for Sense - who created the promotion, says: “We believe this generous, easy to enter competition we’ve created for Smint will greatly help drive sales amongst non-Smint loyalists, attracting a new army of consumers to the brand whilst offering a great reward for existing customers.”
