Carrefour Kenya, under the management of Majid Al Futtaim, has cemented its position as a leader in customer-focused retail innovation. In a spectacular conclusion to its “Black November Hammer Down Prices II” campaign, the supermarket chain awarded a brand-new Changan Alsvin, valued at approximately KES 3 million, to one fortunate shopper.
The campaign, which ran throughout November, showcased Carrefour’s commitment to rewarding its MyCLUB loyalty programme members. This initiative, conducted in partnership with Inchcape Kenya, not only highlighted the value of loyalty but also set a new standard for customer engagement in Kenya’s retail sector.
At the heart of the campaign was the grand prize: a sleek Changan Alsvin sedan. The vehicle, courtesy of Inchcape Kenya—a British multinational automotive distributor—was presented to the lucky winner at a ceremony held at Two Rivers Mall, Nairobi.
The winner, a member of Carrefour’s MyCLUB loyalty programme, earned their chance by spending KES 5,000 or more per transaction, either in-store or online. The transparency of the selection process, with winners drawn randomly, underscored Carrefour’s commitment to fairness and customer satisfaction.
Beyond the grand prize, Carrefour extended the spirit of giving to hundreds of other customers.
- 30 Online Shoppers: Received top-of-the-line washing machines.
- Vouchers: Numerous customers were rewarded with Carrefour shopping vouchers, enabling them to enjoy discounts on everyday essentials.
These additional rewards amplified the campaign’s appeal, ensuring it resonated with a broad spectrum of customers.
The campaign reflected Carrefour Kenya’s unwavering focus on providing exceptional value to its customers. Christophe Orcet, Regional Director – East Africa, Majid Al Futtaim Retail, highlighted this vision:
“This campaign demonstrates Carrefour Kenya’s commitment to rewarding its loyal customers beyond offering discounts, loyalty points, and competitive prices on everyday essentials. The MyCLUB loyalty programme adds value year-round, empowering customers to shop smarter and live better.”
Orcet also emphasized that Black November was an opportunity to deepen engagement with Carrefour’s growing customer base and thank them for their loyalty.
Collaboration played a pivotal role in the campaign’s success. Inchcape Kenya, as the automotive partner, ensured the Changan Alsvin grand prize was a highlight of the campaign.
Yulia Vershinskaya, Managing Director at Inchcape Kenya, expressed her excitement about the partnership:
“Our partnership with Carrefour Kenya exemplifies our shared vision of delivering outstanding value to customers. We are honoured to support such a rewarding initiative, and the Black November campaign demonstrated how collaboration can elevate the customer experience.”
