Shopping is GREAT: British Brands in Vietnam
The 'Shopping is GREAT' competition will be run in Vietnam from 30 October 2015 to 7 January 2016 to highlight the UK's brands.
The GREAT Shopping Contest was organised in Vietnam 2014
The United Kingdom is home to some of the world’s best known shops and some of the globe’s most iconic brands. The British government is proud that many of these brands are now in Vietnam.
To highlight these brands, we will be running ‘Shopping is GREAT’ campaign throughout November and December 2015 and January 2016.
The campaign will be launched at the British Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City on 29 October.
The opening event will be hosted by Douglas Barnes, British Consul General and Lord Puttnam, UK Trade and Cultural Envoy to Vietnam. It will feature a display of British cars and a fashion show of leading British brands available in Vietnam.
Britain is a world class leader in creativity and design talent. Ever year more GREAT British brands come to Vietnam. These interesting and exciting products are available in stores in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and cross Vietnam. And it is also possible to access great British brands through the on-line shopping portal ZALORA.
As part of the ‘Shopping is GREAT’ campaign, participating retailers are offering numerous products and discount vouchers.
ZALORA will be holding several on-line promotional events throughout the campaign period. British banks HSBC and Standard Chartered are also offering their customers attractive cash back offers when purchasing British brands.
