Coca-Cola to do big promotion for Long Beach race
This major retail promotion, which features extensive signage promoting the April 13-15 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, is currently taking place in 424 ampm convenience stores throughout Southern California. In addition to the Free Friday voucher, Coca-Cola, ampm and radio station “Power 106" are promoting a sweepstakes to win a Toyota Tundra.
Grand Prix fans can visit the Coca-Cola display in their local ampm store, purchase two 1-liter products – including Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Sprite, Dasani or POWERade – and pick up a voucher near the checkout stands for a FREE ticket to all the action on “Fast Friday," April 13.
The vouchers can be redeemed at any Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach ticket office location any time through Friday, April 13. “We are extremely proud of our current promotion with ampm and the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach," said David Carey, Sales Center Manager for the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Southern California.
“It is one of the most impactful programs we have ever run with the Grand Prix for our consumers and race fans."
ampm, along with the ARCO gasoline brand, is owned by BP West Coast Products. BP is the largest gasoline retailer in the U.S. “Fast Friday" includes practice and qualifying sessions for the Champ Car World Series, Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race, Champ Car Atlantics, American Le Mans Series and the SPEED World Challenge GT, as well as the first round of action in the EZ Lube Team Drift Challenge.
