Uber taps Smart to launch first Uber On-Demand promo for Mother's Day
MANILA, Philippines [09 MAY 2014] -- Uber has received worldwide
attention for its on demand campaigns in several countries around the world.
The way in which Uber has used technology to provide instant gratification by
partnering with the biggest companies in the world hasgiven the brand the
reputation of always thinking outside the box. Below are examples
of previous on-demand campaigns:
#UberKittens - Uber partnered up with a local cat shelter in NY and if you donated $20 to the shelter,
Uber would bring you a kitten you could play with for 15 minutes.
#UberSkywriting - For Valentine's Day Uber partnered up with MasterCard and
when you opened up the app you could request for a message written in the sky
In line with its recent launch in the Philippines,Uber has partnered with mobile leader
Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) for the first-ever on demand campaign in Manila to celebrate
Mother’s Day.
On May 11, Uber users can request for a special Mother’s Day package which will include the following:
- A bouquet of fresh flowers
- Gift box with beauty products from GlamourBox
- A sweet treat from Grechelle's Kitchen
- Gift certificate for a manicure session at Posh Nails
Gift basket is priced at P200 for Smart Postpaid subscribers
and Php 400 for other networks
Committed to bringing only the most unique experiences to its subscribers, SMART will be offering
the special Mother’s Day package to its postpaid subscribers at a discounted price.
“The country’s largest mobile network is partnering with Uber, the most premium on-demand car service in the world, to bring such a unique treat to moms of our
postpaid subscribers,” said Kathryn Carag, Postpaid Marketing Head at Smart.
“We’re delighted to be Uber’s first partner for its on demand service in the Philippines, which demonstrates our commitment
to allowing our subscribers to ‘Live More’ and experience more from their subscriptions.”
“We're delighted to join forces with Smart to celebrate Mother's Day and moms everywhere.
Uber and Smart share a passion for technology and for delivering first class experiences
to the people of Manila. We look forward to more collaborations with the Philippines’

which they can use to avail of the Uber on demand promotion for half its usual price.
This will be charged to the credit card used during the registration for an Uber account.

an account to enjoy the promotion.
A vehicle optionnamed “UberMOM” will be seen in the app, and users would
have to move the green pin on the map to the location where they want the gift basket
delivered to. SMART Postpaid subscribers only need to enter the promo code along
