Vivo Energy Ghana, a company that markets and distributes Shell branded products and services is rewarding its cherished customers with seven brand new Hyundai Grand i10 taxis, 100 motorbikes, and other amazing prizes for their loyalty in a mega promo dubbed ‘Shell Filling No Y3 Deep Promo Reloaded’.

The promotion, which runs until December 23 will see one branded taxi and other amazing prizes given away in each biweekly draw to customers who buy at least GHC80 worth of fuel at any Shell service station nationwide.

There will be six biweekly draws and over 100,000 prizes, including six months free fuel, three months free fuel, one month free fuel, one month worth of shopping vouchers and free instant airtime given to winners.

Explaining the mechanics of the promotion during the launch, the Marketing Manager of Vivo Energy Ghana, Mr. Jerry Boachie-Danquah said customers on all networks should buy GHC80 worth of fuel to pick a scratch card and dial to enter the biweekly draws.

“To participate, customers must buy GHC80 and above worth of fuel to pick a scratch card and dial *714*40# Send, enter the secret code, and press send for free to enter the biweekly draws. These same customers also stand the chance of winning an airtime of GHC5 or GHC2 instantly,” he emphasized.

The Managing Director of Vivo Energy Ghana, Mr. Ebenezer Faulkner in his speech, encouraged all motorists to take advantage of the promotion to own a taxi, motorcycle or win any of the amazing prizes at stake.

“You may have been driving somebody’s taxi all these years and you want to own a taxi. This promotion is your opportunity to own a taxi and do the sales for yourself. You may be a private motorist who pays a taxi driver to pick up your children from school every day at a fee. Shell is giving you an opportunity to own a taxi and save the monthly fee,” he said.

Mr. Faulkner also reminded commercial drivers and private motorists to continue to opt for Shell FuelSave Super and Diesel, which is uniquely designed to last longer at no extra cost, rather than regular super and diesel on the market.

Last year, Vivo Energy Ghana gave six brand new Hyundai Grand i10 taxis and other prizes in a similar promo ‘Shell Filling No Y3 Deep Taxi Bonanza’ to motorists. Currently, the company is also running another campaign, ‘Chairman Baako p3’, aimed at celebrating and appreciating hardworking taxi and trotro drivers.

The ‘Shell Filling No Y3 Deep Promo Reloaded’ is being run in partnership with the National Lotteries Authority (NLA) on the Caritas platform and Hyundai World by Hyundai Motors & Investments Ghana Limited.
