Nokia

46,000 Nokia handsets included a 'gift with purchase', allowing the purchaser to claim an experience to 'shape up', 'indulge' or 'accessorise' (valued at approx. £50 per gift). To control and reduce the costs, the promotion was delivered for a single fee.

HP

A consumer promotion where consumers purchasing a select range of HP digital products, at 'demonstrator days' over the Christmas period, were given an HP experience gift.

There were three gift packs available at £45, £95 and £160, which were awarded according to level of spend. Over 5,000 packs were awarded over the promotional period.

Some of these projects were run in partnership with an agency.
