Allianz Nigeria Plc is set to boost its motor insurance penetration with the planned launch next month of a new marketing campaign that is expected to attract thousands of vehicle owners across the country.
The campaign tagged ‘CARdiology’ which will be launched in July 2019 as the name implies is to undertake free health check on motor cars plying Nigeria roads at no cost to the owners, Owolabi Salami, executive director, Allianz Nigeria said.
Owolabi who disclosed this during a press conference in Lagos said 2,000 car owners will benefit at this first phase at 20 designated garages across Lagos.
Owolabi noted that this is one of Allianz Nigeria’s initiatives to internalize the Allianz brand across every home in the country.
“Each vehicle check will cost us N10, 000.00, and that is what we are offering to car owners, and at the same time indirectly helping to enhance safety on our roads, he stated.
Owolabi stated that when the campaign breaks, people will be expected to indicate interest via a dedicated telephone or email and though a raffle draws 2,000 people will be selected and given access to any of the selected garages of their choice.
