HAVE A DEW AND CHAT WITH OOREDOO

 

MY STORY:

Oh, what a hectic day it was!

I was exhausted by working all day long.

So, I and my colleague (who is also a part-time food blogger) and new in Muscat (Oman) decided to go out for dinner straight after work. As we were already late for dinner and had no energy left we decided to eat at a nearby restaurant which we never tried before.

As both I and my colleague was there for the first time, he made sure to make the most out of this opportunity. He ordered the restaurant’s signature dish called Chicken Shawarma Plate and decided to review it by going live on Instagram. But little did he know that the restaurant had no wifi connection and neither of us had internet credits. Lucky for him while waiting for the food I had ordered a Mountain Dew my favourite soft drink.

Believe me, when I tell you this, it proved to be not less than a blessing for him that night as we found out that there’s this scheme going on these days “Have a Dew and chat with Ooredoo” in which you win an instant gift from Ooredoo with every 330ml can of Mountain Dew!

The scheme includes up to 5GB data for both prepaid and postpaid Ooredoo SIM users, free call minutes and endless WhatsApp which can be easily redeemed through the Ooredoo Oman App.

That night I got 250mb of free internet for 24 hours which was more than enough.

Though my friend wasn’t an Oordeoo user at that time he decided he’ll be one soon. For that time, I recharged my number with the help of that offer and he went live by logging into his Instagram account through my phone.

CONCLUSION: 

You might find this blog revolving around offer and place that has nothing to do with you as you might be living on the other side of the world. 

Maybe in Brazil where Burger King’s “Burn That Ad” Campaign is trending.

The relationship between businesses and the customer is the same everywhere.

The story of Ooredoo and Mountain Dew taught us that by offering little extra to the customer you can retain them and can make them loyal to your brand whether you are a marketer, a business, or restaurant manager.

I myself use retention strategies to make my new or old restaurant customers to regular customers which ultimately increase the sale of my outlet.
