AIRFRANCE KLM PARTNERS WITH JUMIA NIGERIA TO OFFER VALUE PROPOSITION FOR ITS CUSTOMERS
Determined to give customers additional value for their money, Jumia
Nigeria and
AirFrance KLM have announced a unique partnership to reward
Nigerian-based flyers registered with the airline’s Flying Blue loyalty
programme.
The
Flying Blue initiative which is tailored to give additional benefits to
customers will also expose them to over 1,000,000 product assortment on
Africa’s largest online store, Jumia.
Usually
when Air France KLM Flying Blue members earn miles, accumulated miles
can be used to pay for tickets, upgrades, hotel stays, and excess
baggage allowance. However, with this new partnerships, miles can now be
used to purchase items on Jumia Nigeria website.
This seamless process requires AirFrance KLM Flying Blue members to visit www.flyingblue.com then –
spend miles – blue store – leisure – shopping voucher to retrieve their
vouchers. The vouchers are of 3 values, each indicating the cash value
and miles value. Members can buy the voucher of their choice and have
the miles deducted from their Flying Blue account. An email will be sent
to them with an online shopping code for jumia.com.ng.
Alternatively,
members can also combine the value of the voucher with cash to pay for
the item of their choice. Members who have insufficient miles for an
airline award or who have miles expiring soon can convert these miles
into vouchers to shop on Jumia.com.ng.
In
a statement by the CEO of Jumia Nigeria, Juliet Anammah, she stated
that “Jumia is proud to unveil a driving partnership with AirFrance KLM
airlines to reiterate its commitment to customers. This collaboration
will create unparalleled opportunities for the passengers and also allow customers to enjoy the convenience and wide selection available through shopping online with Jumia.”
“Air
France and KLM continue to pursue new ways of adding value to our
customers. At different occasions, when customers provide us with
feedback on how to make the customer loyalty program flying blue more
attractive, the question often asked is if it would be possible to use
flying blue miles on more products, especially products customers need
in their day to day life. As we like to listen to our customers and try
as much as possible to improve on the services we offer, we decided to
look for a partner to turn this dream into a reality. Today we are happy
to announce that we are joining forces with the biggest online retailer
in Nigeria – Jumia! “Arthur Dieffenthaler, Commercial Director, Air
France KLM, Nigeria & Ghana.
