A 3 months winning experience
How we helped Mall of Qatar’s Shop & Win event: A 3 months 360 coverage was held both online & offline with massive digital marketing campaigns and results.
Summary:
Mall of Qatar was positioned as an ultimate shopping and winning destination. This was powered through the Mall’s weekly raffle draws, where every Thursday, a winner is chosen to win a luxurious car, and 10 winners are chosen to win 10 MOQ gift cards each.
The campaign’s aim was reflecting the mall’s value proposition in providing a great customer experience, care and service in return of increasing the Mall’s customer loyalty.
Objective:
The campaign’s focus was to position Mall of Qatar as the ultimate shopping and winning destination for families and visitors.
Main focus points:
- Increasing Mall of Qatar’s customer spends
- Highlight the ROI element among customers: shop for an insignificant amount and get the chance to win a luxurious car (BMW or Mini Cooper) in return.
- Increase traffic to the mall
- Increase reach and number of followers

Challenges
Campaign Mechanism
Explaining the participation and draw entry process simply and straightforwardly to Mall of Qatar’s audience through the different social media platforms was a primary challenge. The campaign’s participation process was first communicated through each post’s captions and later on developed in an animated video.
Campaign Awareness
To increase the campaign’s awareness and exposure all over Qatar, we contacted Qatar-based influencers to spread the word about the campaign on their Instagram and Snapchat platforms.
Messaging
The campaign’s primary message was to position the Mall of Qatar as the ultimate destination for shopping and winning. We used an inviting yet alarming tone, with a call to action like “Shop today!” to invite visitors every week to shop and participate in the weekly raffle draw and not miss out on their chance to win.
Covid-19
With social distancing and Covid-19 precautions being the new norm, it was essential to focus our message on inviting people to shop at the mall and exchange their coupons rather than promote the event and break the Ministry of Health’s guidelines.
