BY PHILIP ANTOH

GHANA’S LIQ-
UID gold, Star
Beer, has extended
its ongoing
‘Star Win
Gold’ promotion,
which was launched in December
2017 to the end of April
2018.
The promo, which has so far
rewarded about 167 consumers
with 2.5g gold bars each, is one of
Star beer’s ceremonies to reward
its loyal consumers with gold
bars.
Apart from the gold bars, the
promo has also rewarded thousands
of consumers with other
amazing prizes that include free
Star beers.
Commenting on the awards,
Marketing Manager for Lagers at
Guinness Ghana Breweries Limited
(GGBL), Mr Carsten Schemmer,
expressed appreciation to
customers of Star Beer for their
loyalty.
According to him, the focus of
the campaign is to add value to
the lives of customers by giving
them more rewards for every bottle
of beer they buy.
“This promotion is one of the
many ways Star Beer is rewarding
consumers for their loyalty in line
with the brand winning the prestigious
Monde Gold International
Award for the quality taste of Star
Beer for two consecutive years,”
•Batch of winners displaying their gold cards
he said.
“We are using this opportunity
to share this gold with Star Beer
consumers, and I am delighted to
share that the promotion has been
extended, which means that it will
continue until the end of April
[this year].”
Mr Schemmer used the opportunity
to congratulate all the winners
on staying true and loyal to
the brand over the years.
He urged consumers of Star
Beer to keep patronising the beer
to stand the chance of winning
more gold bars.
Speaking at the event after receiving
her gold bar, Mrs Albana
Dun said “Guinness Ghana Breweries
Limited has empowered me
with this gold bar. I really didn’t
believe how one could win gold
bar after drinking beer, but after
winning a free bottle of beer in
my first try, I believed in it and
that belief led me to win the Gold
bar.”
She thanked Star Beer, and
urged them to come up with more
innovative promotions to positively
affect the lives of customers.
Another winner, Mr Emmanuel
Amankwah, gladly said, “I am
amazed and feel indebted to Star
Beer for this Gold Bar reward. I
have been greatly encouraged by
the promotion Star Beer is running.”
The ‘Star Win Gold’ promo,’
which was launched in December
last year to run till the end of
April 2018, has so far rewarded
consumers with amazing prizes,
including Gold Bars and free
drinks of Star Beer.
Brewed from the finest quality
of barley, malt and hops, Star Beer
does not only offer every true
beer drinker the richest and most
refreshing taste in beer, but also
celebrates life’s journey and those
uniquely Ghanaian values.
