PETALING JAYA: Although the “Chill out@KFC” campaign had not even been launched, the discount vouchers were already being redeemed at KFC outlets all over Malaysia.
Students happily cut out the RM3 KFC voucher from stuff@school which was distributed with The Star (subscribed by schools) on Monday.
A group of lucky teenagers from the Klang Valley, armed with these KFC vouchers, got themselves invited to party at the official launch of Chill out@KFC at the Kota Damansara outlet. The pop art-themed party, that catered for about 50 teens, marked the beginning of the partnership between KFC and stuff@school.
Readers can look forward to the KFC$ in every issue of stuff@school, which goes out to schools every Monday. The vouchers can be accumulated and used together within a single receipt: an RM3 voucher for every RM10 spent.
“This translates to a really attractive discount of up to 30% for students to chill out at KFC,” said KFC Peninsular Malaysia deputy president Alan Au.
He added that KFC chose to work with The Star on this campaign due to its the strong relationship with teenagers. The launch party was filled with fun and some fanfare, complemented by a happening pop art ambience, a photo booth equipped with a movement-sensitive display and a candy bar.
Question time: Red.fm’s Jeremy Teo (left) quizzing some of the teens who were at the Chill out@ KFC party. On the day of the party, even those who could not be at the venue were excited about it.
“So how was the party? Share some pictures here!” posted Koh Chen Ren, 16.
Ashvin Tirwana who won the King Warhol award (the equivalent of Prom King) at the party replied: “Awesome! Had fun meeting everyone!”
In March, KFC and stuff@schoolran two contests which required teens to send in text, pictorial and video responses to two scenarios.
That was a prelude to the video contest to be held in conjunction with the Chill out@KFC campaign, which calls for videos from teens who hang out at KFC.
In vlog style, these videos should be under three minutes and provide details about their jaunt at the KFC outlet of their choice.
To find out more about the competition and the Chill out@KFC campaign, look for stuff@school in The Star this Monday.
