Cola-Cola Japan will launch their largest campaign yet on the official Coca-Cola app "Coke ON" from April 5, 2021.

From April 5th to May 16th 2021, first time users of the "Coke ON" app, and those who haven’t used the app for a long time (i.e didn’t use it in March), will be eligible for the buy-one-get-one-free drink when purchasing a Coca-Cola product through the app. The campaign will run for 6 weeks, and will be held at approximately 370,000 Coke ON-compatible vending machines nationwide. Buy a Coca-Cola drink every week and get one free!

Additionally, from April 5th to May 31st 2021, all Coke ON who use the ‘Coke ON Pay’ or ‘Coke ON IC’ cashless payment of product purchases will receive double the ‘Coke ON’ stamps.

These campaigns are based on Coca-Cola's concept; "exciting futures actually begin in your immediate surroundings", and their new advertising campaign "The future is casual." The beverage company will release four new TV commercials from the 5th of April, that show ‘everyday exciting moments’ that surround Coca-Cola’s vending machines.

Coca-Cola Japan regards their vending machines, of which there are over 880,000 units nationwide, as "stores" and highly values their ​​daily contact with customers. In 2016, they launched the smartphone app "Coke ON" that allows you to purchase beverages by connecting to compatible vending machines, and as of April 2021, they have deployed around 370,000 of these "Coke ON" compatible vending machines nationwide. The ‘Coke ON’ application has received over 26 million downloads, and is continuing to grow into an app that is used by many people.
