Nestomalt launches SALARY for LIFE promotion for 2021
Will award second winner Rs. 50,000 a month until 55 years
Nestomalt has launched its one-of-a-kind ‘SALARY for LIFE’ campaign for the second year running, looking to reward another consumer with Rs. 50,000 every month until they turn 55, as per the terms of the competition. Nestomalt aims to reward loyal consumers by helping them kick-start their journey, to achieve their ambitions and progress in life. Any Nestomalt consumer between 18 and 50 years can send the flap of a 400g Nestomalt pack – even multiple times – to be eligible for a raffle draw. One lucky winner will be chosen at random.
Nestomalt’s first ever SALARY for LIFE competition winner last year, 20-year old Avishka Koswatte from Pilimathalawa, won Rs. 50,000 every month from Nestomalt for 35 years, as per the terms of the competition. She is putting this additional support to good use, to help her progress towards her ambition of becoming a teacher and supporting her family.
“Thanks to Nestomalt SALARY for LIFE, my future is not on hold. Even though the pandemic means that starting my career as a teacher has been delayed a little bit, I’m thankful for my monthly salary from Nestomalt at a time like this, to help me on my learning journey and realise my ambitions. I have bought a laptop for myself and I’m educating myself online to better prepare for my future career” said Avishka.
“After powering a positive start for generations of Sri Lankan families for more than 60 years, we’re humbled to be able to take our support even further with this campaign, to help them progress in life in a way no other brand has done in Sri Lanka. We had a resounding response in the first year from Nestomalt fans across the country, and we’re humbled and pleased to kick-start the campaign for the second year. We look forward to helping another Nestomalt fan achieve their ambitions” said Ruwan Welikala, Nestlé’s Vice President – Dairy.
