As part of the campaign, the outdoor store held 'Father's Day Experience', an event where a product specialist presented the top 10 recommended Father's Day gifts. Attendees were then split into groups and embarked on a treasure hunt around the Cape Union Mart Canal Walk Adventure Centre. The objective was to find a range of Cape Union Mart's products dispersed around the store, according to a list of clues, and the winning team received a voucher worth R500 each.
With just a few days to go before Father's Day, Cape Union Mart shares the heart of the campaign with Bizcommunity.
