Rasto Butiga, John Barongo, and Geoffrey Mugabi, were the lucky winners as Shell products marketer and distributor, Vivo Energy Uganda, concluded a four-month Shell Club promotion February 15.

Butiga, a businessman in Gayaza, drove off with the Toyota Hiace grand prize, while Barongo and Mugabi rode off with brand new motorcycles in Vivo’s loyalty reward promotion.

The final three winners were selected during a televised draw held on Bukedde TV on February 5, 2024, and were presented with their prizes at Shell Banda service station February 15.

Describing the van as a miracle that will elevate his financial status, forty-year-old Rasto Butiga, said he first thought he was dealing with pranksters when the call informing him about his win came through.

“I received a mysterious call one evening, informing me that I was the proud winner of this van. Of course, I responded by asking more questions and even grilling the callers thinking that they were conmen. It was after recognsing the familiar voice of presenter Bruno Betty from Bukedde TV who assured me that the promotion was real and indeed the car belonged to me, that I believed,” said an excited Butiga.

Before presenting the Toyota Hiace van and motorcycles to the latest winners, Vivo Energy Uganda managing director Johan Grobbelaar, congratulated and encouraged them to continue to use the Shell Club loyalty platform to earn more points and, share among their peers, about the company’s commitment to providing the best fuel and products on the market. He further expressed his delight at the positive impact the promotion has had on the lives of the winners.

“Today marks not just the end of a promotion, but the celebration of a community bound by loyalty and shared success. Our Shell Club ‘Join and Win’ promotion isn’t just about prizes; it’s about recognizing and rewarding the unwavering support of our valued customers. Through their trust in Shell, they’ve fueled not just their vehicles, but also their dreams,” Grobbelaar said.

Launched last October, the Shell Club ‘Join and Win’ promotion celebrated and rewarded active Shell customers, offering them a chance to win premium prizes that included two Toyota Hiace vans and seven brand-new motorcycles. Other prizes included instant rewards, such as shopping vouchers branded t-shirts and assorted items that were also distributed during special “happy hour” activations held at Shell service stations countrywide.

“I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every Shell customer who has been a part of this journey,” said Vivo Energy Uganda head of marketing Hellen Bwengye. “Your unwavering support and participation in our loyalty program have been truly inspiring.”

Brand Manager, loyalty and payments Sheila Awori, highlighted the programme’s high success rate and its impact on the lives of customers.

“I take pride in witnessing the impact that the Shell Club has had on the lives of our customers. I also express gratitude to all the customers who participated and signed up for the Shell Club. Since the launch of the Shell Club in October last year, we have been pleased to note that the performance has exceeded our expectations,” Awori said.
