Almeida Junior to Raffle Six Hybrid Cars in Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day Campaign

Almeida Junior launches Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day campaign with a raffle of six hybrid cars

The promotion will run from April 23 to June 14 and will raffle off a Jaecoo 7 Luxury at each of the group’s malls

Two of the most sentimental dates of the first half of the year, Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day, arrive accompanied by a new Almeida Junior campaign. Starting April 23, the group is launching a special campaign that will give customers the chance to compete for an Omoda Jaecoo 7 Luxury — a plug-in hybrid model valued at R$240,000 — at each participating mall.

For every R$300 spent at the stores, including parking payments, customers receive a lucky number upon registering their receipts on the AJFans App. Once they reach R$1,000 in purchases, participants earn an additional 10 bonus lucky numbers.

At Norte Shopping, the campaign features a special promotion. In celebration of the mall’s 15th anniversary, customers who make purchases on May 28 will be entitled to double lucky numbers, boosting their chances of participating in the raffle.

It is also possible to earn more lucky numbers by purchasing mall gift cards and through the “referral rewards” feature on the AJFans app, where, by referring friends who take part in the promotion, the customer receives extra numbers simply for spreading the word.

Receipts can be registered through the AJFans app, at the exchange counters, or on the official website of each participating mall, always linked to the venue where the purchase was made. Customers are encouraged to download the app in advance, before heading to the mall, to ensure a smoother participation experience. The entry period runs until 11 p.m. on June 14. The raffle will take place on June 17, 2026.

Known as the second most important date for national retail, behind only Christmas, Mother’s Day typically drives a significant boost in consumer spending. In 2025, it generated approximately R$37.7 billion across the commerce and services sectors and mobilized more than 120 million consumers, according to a survey by the National Confederation of Store Managers (CNDL) and SPC Brasil. With this landscape in mind, Almeida Junior is running the campaign at malls across its network, including Balneário Shopping (Balneário Camboriú), Continente Shopping (Greater Florianópolis), Garten Shopping (Joinville), Nações Shopping (Criciúma), Norte Shopping, and Neumarkt Shopping (Blumenau).

The full rules and more information about the promotion are available through the official channels of each participating mall.

Almeida Junior Wins Top Marketing and Sales ADVB/SC 2025 Award

Recognition Highlights the Company’s Innovative Model, Solidifying Its Position as an Integrated Growth Ecosystem in Santa Catarina

Almeida Junior Shopping Centers was awarded the Top Marketing and Sales ADVB/SC 2025, one of the most traditional business awards in the state, which has recognized the best marketing and sales strategies implemented by companies in Santa Catarina for 39 years. The company was honored for the case “Almeida Junior – Much More Than Shopping Centers: An Integrated Growth Ecosystem,” which reinforces the company’s leadership in transforming retail and the shopping center sector in Brazil.

As the leader in Santa Catarina with a 71% market share and 33 million annual visitors across its six properties, Almeida Junior has been redefining the role of shopping centers in the country. The company has built an integrated ecosystem where flow transforms into data, data into intelligence, and intelligence into sustainable growth.

The model integrates different business verticals — AJ Realty (residential properties attached to shopping centers), AJ Mídia (digital and DOOH media vertical), AJ Energia (electroposts), and AJ Fans (app with services and loyalty program) — creating new revenue streams that strengthen the core business. At the same time, AJ Labs (through the AJ Fans app) consolidates data-driven marketing as a decision-making and results engine, connecting consumer behavior, media, and sales.

This structure has allowed the company to achieve results far above the national average, with a 11% growth in sales and a 10% increase in foot traffic, compared to a 1.9% and 2.3% increase, respectively, in the industry’s indicators in the country.

Among the actions that support this performance are promotions integrated with the AJ Fans app, strategic partnerships with brands, and events of various sizes, increasing audience engagement and operational performance. “Receiving this award is a recognition of our vision that marketing, when driven by data and innovation, stops being a support function and becomes a driver of growth and sustainable leadership,” says Rogério Alves, Marketing and Relationship Director at Almeida Junior.

Me Nota Way: Check Out the Finalists

This past weekend, on Sunday the 1st, Continente Shopping was the stage for the grand final selection of “Me Nota Way,” an unprecedented project carried out between Almeida Junior in partnership with WAY Model Management, one of Brazil’s most prestigious agencies that introduced top model Carol Trentini to the fashion world. The event concluded a journey that passed through five cities in Santa Catarina in search of new faces for national and international runways. Twenty-six talents were selected to walk the runway in the final stage.

Throughout the months of March to May, shopping centers in the Almeida Junior chain hosted free selections open to the public, held in Balneário Camboriú, Blumenau, Joinville, Criciúma, and Greater Florianópolis. The initiative attracted over 1,500 applications and brought together young people from different regions of the state, all with the dream of entering the fashion world.

During the final, participants had the opportunity to experience a real runway experience, with professional production and evaluation by the WAY Model team, led by Anderson Baumgartner. Now the approved candidates will have the opportunity to sign a contract with the agency, receive their first professional portfolio, and star in fashion campaigns for nationally recognized brands.

Anderson Baumgartner, director of WAY Model Management, believes that the final stage of “Me Nota Way” showcased the state’s potential for talent in the field. “From the beginning, we believed that the partnership between WAY Model and Almeida Junior had the potential to be a success, and it exceeded all expectations. When two brands with credibility and purpose come together, the results go beyond what was anticipated. On this journey, we had the privilege of discovering talents who will certainly make Santa Catarina proud on Brazilian runways,” he says.

For Rogério Alves, Marketing and Relationship Director at Almeida Junior, the “Me Nota Way” initiative reflects the company’s DNA. “We always seek innovation, to be connected with the public, and to generate experiences and opportunities. For Almeida Junior, fashion is experience and attitude, and this project expanded that concept by giving a stage to new talents from Santa Catarina who now have the chance to start a professional career with national and international visibility.”
