GRAB Philippines on Wednesday announced a new initiative in partnership with Procter & Gamble (P&G), Unilever, Nestlé, Ultramega, Citibank, Agoda, and Booking.com, among others, aimed at boosting support for small enterprises amid a pandemic crisis.
Grab and its partners will have special offerings from Sept. 11 to 25, including discounts and rewards on GrabMart, GrabFood, and GrabPay.
“What sets this campaign apart from the other sale events happening this month, is the fact that this enables a longer and more meaningful support to the thousands of livelihoods, small businesses, and partners from every transaction made through the Grab app,” it said in an e-mailed statement.
Grab also said it wants to help “facilitate the recovery of local industries.”
GrabMart will offer up to P250 discount (with free delivery) on pantry and food supplies, toiletries, medicine, and special goods, among others.
GrabFood will offer up to P159 discount on orders from its participating merchants such as Wildflour Cafe + Bakery, Gino’s Brick Oven Pizza, Bad Bird, Single Origin, Marugame Udon, Wee Nam Kee, and Frankies.
Customers who pay via GrabPay will also earn 1,000 points if they complete a total cumulative spend of P2,500.
Grab said its app had been downloaded onto more than 185 million smartphones in Southeast Asia.
Grab users have access to more than 9 million drivers, merchants, and agents.
The company is engaged in on-demand transport services, food, package, grocery delivery services, mobile payments, and financial services. — Arjay L. Balinbin
