New Lucky Draw for Fabulous Prizes

to Encourage the Continuous Pursuit of Healthy Living

AIA Hong Kong launched the AIA Vitality Weekly Challenge in early August, giving away 850,000 Starbucks drinks to celebrate AIA's 85th anniversary in Hong Kong. The 12-week event ended on 30 October, but to sustain the positive momentum, AIA Hong Kong & Macau is now kicking off a new round of activity with the AIA Vitality Weekly Challenge Lucky Draw. Over an 11-week period, the Company will be giving away fabulous prizes to further motivate and incentivise customers to continue their journey to good health. In the first week's lucky draw, two winners have already each taken home a latest model of smartphone.
AIA Vitality Weekly Challenge's participants circled Earth 340 times, and perseverance is vital to the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle

Summarising the results of phase one of AIA Vitality Weekly Challenge:

  • During the 12-week period, participants walked more than 17 billion steps*, equivalent to walking around our planet 340 times.
  • Nearly 90,000 people* participated in the AIA Vitality Weekly Challenge
  • Of these, only 3,000 participants* earned 12 Starbucks drinks, and about half* of the participants are not qualified to redeem any Starbucks drinks at all. 
  • Two-thirds* of those who participated in the challenge were between the ages of 25 and 44. 
  • More than 60%* of the participants were female. 

* According to internal statistics of AIA.
Mr Jacky Chan, CEO of AIA Hong Kong & Macau, said, “To celebrate the 85th anniversary of AIA Hong Kong, we laid down the AIA Vitality Weekly Challenge, one of Hong Kong's largest-ever wellness incentive programmes in terms of dollars. The campaign proved to be effective in motivating some members to start their journey to a healthier life. This demonstrates that sharing the positive spirit of our AIA Vitality wellness programme – living healthier and enjoying the rewards – is an effective way of inspiring people to be more active. However, many participants were unable to sustain their efforts. It is more of a challenge to be consistent with healthy lifestyle habits. We are adding fresh impetus to our efforts to promote healthy living by rolling out a new round of the AIA Vitality Weekly Challenge with a lucky draw. With this, we hope to inspire people to be more determined and then take them as far as possible on their healthy journey. By helping people live healthier, better and happier lives, we are fulfilling our brand promise as The Real Life Company.”
