Western Union Incents Business for Mother’s Day
The Western Union Co. is offering a number of incentives to boost business during Mother’s Day.
Under the first promotion, called Win a Mother’s Day Dream, four customers who send a qualifying Western Union Money Transfer get the chance to win $50,000 each, and other participants have the chance to win other prizes.
The second promotion, Western Union Rewards Your Efforts, features 250,000 scratch cards distributed at designated locations in participating cities across the country, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, San Diego, Denver and San Antonio, TX.
Consumers who send money through May 13 to Mexico or selected countries in Latin America can bring their original To Send Money receipt to designated Cinco de Mayo festivals and other hotspots in those cities to redeem prizes, the company said.
Prizes will include televisions, cell phones, PlayStation entertainment systems, cash money orders and other premium items.
The offers are available through May 31.
“Mother’s Day is an important holiday to many, especially to those who are separated from their loved ones,” said Juan Pablo Valdes, marketing director for Latin America, in a statement. “We hope to make this time of year easier for our loyal consumers, who trust Western Union’s reliability, speed and convenience for their money transfers throughout the world.”
