Go-Jek partners with Carousell in bid to lure more riders

New riders will receive $13 in vouchers when they download the app through ads on Carousell.

Singapore's latest ride-hailing entrant Go-Jek is stepping up efforts to lure new users onto its platform after forging a partnership with e-commercite site Carousell to reward the latter’s users who are new Go-Jek riders with $13 vouchers, an announcement revealed.

Carousell users who download the ride-hailing app via the ads available on its app or website will receive an additional $3 ride voucher on top of the usual two $5 vouchers offered to new riders.

“We look to partner with local brands that align with our mission of making the everyday lives of people better,” Go-Jek’s global head of transport Raditya Wibowo said in a statement. “As Singapore’s most well-known consumer-to-consumer marketplace, Carousell solves a pain point for consumers by making the exchange of goods and services more accessible.”

Go-Jek initially rolled out the beta phase of its services in Singapore in November 2018 wherein DBS and POSB customers were given priority access, before extending its services islandwide on 2 January.

Vouchers will be issued within 24 hours of installing the ride-hailing app and will be valid for 14 days, Go-Jek explained.

The promotion will run until March 6.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
