Solution

We designed the Sachet Swap Rewards Promo — a behavior-driven, grassroots activation built around a clear, compelling exchange system that rewarded usage and encouraged repeat interaction.

1. Behavior-Based Incentive Model: Consumers exchanged empty AJI-NO-MOTO® sachets in multiples of five, reinforcing product usage while creating a direct path to participation.

2. Instant Reward System: A lucky dip mechanic delivered immediate gratification through branded prizes, sustaining excitement and repeat visits.

3. Market-Level Penetration: Activation deployed across 17 underperforming markets in five key northern cities, ensuring deep, localized reach.

4. Accessible Execution: 5 redemption centers per city, operated weekly on multiple days by trained promoters, made participation easy and consistent.
