The campaign included a "Create Your Wishlist" application where users selected 3 products they wanted to win. Over 20 days, daily winners were announced who won their selected products. This prompted higher engagement as users checked daily. Over 850 users participated and Auchan saw thousands of additional in-store visitors and over 17,500 new page likes. The campaign successfully promoted Auchan and the food festival.

14. Promoting via Targeted Facebook Ads
• Besides engaging the existing audience of Auchan India, we also wanted
to reach a new audience to spread the word about IFF at Auchan stores.
Sample
Facebook
Ads
• We used targeted Facebook ads and Promoted Posts in an effective
manner with many targeting criteria to reach the right untapped
audience.
Targeting was done based on the following:
• First only in geographic areas where Auchan had stores and where IFF was
ongoing.
• Then targeting the right demographic (Age + Gender) of users who shop at
Hypermarkets and Supermarkets.
