TORONTO -- Canadian companies are trying to move the needle on COVID-19 vaccinations by offering discounts and freebies for customers that get jabbed.

Insurers, breweries, museums and tech companies are unveiling promotions aimed at rewarding people who've been vaccinated with savings and giveaways.

The vaccinated will receive six dollar discounts on food and drinks at Polarity Brewing in Whitehouse, free admission to TheMuseum in Kitchener, Ontario and candy from Toronto's Sombrero Latin Food.Manulife Financial will give some of its vaccinated customers enrolled in its Vitality program rewards points and Toronto-based financial app Drop is offering 50-dollars in cash rewards to users who post a vaccine selfie on social media and tag the brand.

Joanne McNeish, an associated professor of marketing at Ryerson University, says the offers lend corporate clout to an important cause, but also encourage consumers to reconnect with favourite brands or discover new and local ones. She says it's hard to measure how likely the promotions are to generate repeat customers or encourage hesitant Canadians to get a vaccine, but that the deals are a nice perk for those anxious for the jab and one of many convincing factors for others.

TRUE Intentions vaccination aligned with promotional incentives? When does a country allow our divine TRUE choice to be a promotional sales approach ? For vaccines? This is not a game. This is TRUE HUMANITY for life and death. TRUE Integrity?

We don't need freebies. All we are asking for is to finally get vaccinated.

Can nurses get their second doses if we’re giving stuff out?

In a real pandemic you would not need to do that

Not fair until everybody is eligible! These companies have lost my business!

Sure i though there still isnt enough to go around that you enticement maybe after those are willing to be vaxed get vaxed then use frebies to convince others i can see maybe having to convince employees to vaxinate more then customers

How bout they just offer it to my age group? That would be an enticement for sure.

Let me guess, the only people who don’t like this are anti vaxers....

Whaaaaa...?

I don’t need insensitives. I’m happily getting my first dose next Saturday.

What a joke!

What about those of us NOT in the GTA that desperately want one but have signed up for 100 different waiting lists and still haven’t heard anything?

PM me if you’re interested in earning $105 by online trading daily, Pm me if you have a phone or PC let’s go ✅

If someone was held accountable for all the shit the vaccine caused. They wouldn’t have to Bribe people to get it. Would u let someone bribe u into using a untested child seat in ur car for your new born?

Bribery

Companies offer vaccinated customers freebies and discounts in marketing pushCanadian companies are trying to move the needle on COVID-19 vaccinations with discounts and freebies for customers who show proof they've received their first dose. It's both sad and good. Sad because people are giving priorities to freebies over their health. Good because this would motivate those people to atleast get a vaccine! 🤔
