SuperShop Win instantly! promotion

Shoppers who spent minimum HUF 3,000 at a SuperShop partner in January 2019 received a scratch card with a code. If they uploaded this code to the promotional website, they got to know at once whether they won or not – there were 181,000 prizes available. By the end of the campaign 10 million SuperShop points were given away. After the GDPR regulation entered into force in 2018, it wasn’t permitted to send marketing messages to a large part of customers that were present in the databases of companies. This is the reason why SuperShop had to fill up the reduced-size database again, as the programme’s biggest value for partners is the card holder data in the database. Several hundred thousand shoppers played and more than one million codes were uploaded.
