Cobra Beer Offers Chances To Party Around The World With BMI & Rough Guides Promotion

 

Cobra Beer recently announced the launch of a major on-pack promotion with bmi and Rough Guides. The promotion, which offers the chance to win pairs of bmi tickets flying to top European and long haul destinations, will run across all Cobra four-packs and will start at the end of January 2007. There are also further chances for consumers to win copies of the brand new book World Party: The Rough Guide to the World's Best Festivals and cases of Cobra Beer.

The promotion will feature on all four-packs of Cobra Premium, Cobra Lower Cal and Cobra 0.0% - a total of 780,000 promotional packs. Lucky winners of 10 pairs of flight tickets will be able to choose from long haul destinations including Antigua, Barbados and Las Vegas or any one of bmi's European destinations. In addition, 100 runners-up will each win a copy of World Party: The Rough Guide to the World's Best Festivals and a (24 x 330ml) case of Cobra Premium Beer. A URN (Unique Reference Number) will be displayed on the inside of each promotional pack, which consumers will have to enter at www.cobrabeer.com/worldparty to find out if they're a winner. Even if they miss out on a prize though, everyone participating will be entitled to 20% off when buying the Rough Guide to the World's Best Festivals.

Zoe Smith, Marketing Manager of Cobra Beer comments: "With travel abroad now being more popular than ever, we're sure that that this promotion will prove very popular among our consumers, giving them the chance to fly to some exotic destinations in search of the best places to party. We're also pleased to be working with bmi and Rough Guides and feel that our brands all complement one another well."

In launching this promotion, Cobra are looking to capitalise on a tremendously successful final quarter of 2006 where, following their biggest-ever TV advertising campaign - The Lift, sales grew over 65% in October and November when compared with 2005 figures. Cobra enjoyed year-on-year sales volume growth of 151% in the multiple grocer sector over the four month period from August to November. Also in 2006, Cobra enjoyed an excellent redemption rate of 12% with their first-ever on-pack promotion (giving away Sony BRAVIA televisions).
