Carefree® launches ‘Feel Free to be Beautiful’ promotion

Listen to article

According to the English Dictionary, someone who is carefree has “no problems or worries”, which is why feminine hygiene brand Carefree® are encouraging customers to sit back, relax and feel beautiful in their first ever on-pack promotional marketing campaign

The campaign launched in June across all major grocery and pharmacy stores in the UK, including Tesco, Superdrug, Boots and Sainsbury’s. The campaign entitles customers to a free beauty treatment with every two purchases of Carefree promotional packs. There are over 900 beauty venues taking part in the campaign and customers also have a choice of Yoga, Pilates and Meditation sessions.

The promotion will be running in store until 31st December 2018*. To qualify for a reward, customers need to:

  • Buy two stickered promotional packs of Carefree®
  • Visit the Carefree® promotional website; www.carefree-beauty.co.uk, enter their details and unique promotional codes
  • Customers will then receive an email directing them to search and claim their free beauty voucher

Sarah Russwurm, Brand Manager of Carefree®, said, “Pantyliners often have negative connotations, with only 1 in 4 women using liners as an everyday product. We wanted to create a promotion that disrupted the feminine hygiene market and changed the perception of liners being a ‘once a month’ purchase. The ‘Feel Free to be Beautiful’ campaign does just that, encouraging customers to feel good about themselves all day, every day.”

Emma Critchley, PR and Marketing Manager at TLC Marketing, said, “There is always a stigma around talking about intimate hygiene. It’s a tough conversation to have, especially when you are growing up and experiencing changes. This campaign engages with a younger audience, encouraging them to find their inner confidence whilst bringing the brand story of Carefree® to life.”

TLC Marketing is responsible for the planning, creative, implementation and delivery of the campaign, including the design and build of the promotional website, email comms and POS. TLC Marketing will also be on hand to deal with any customer queries thanks to their dedicated customer services hub.
