Raton Lal said, "Walton fridge has changed my destiny forever. I could not even dream of getting a high-valued car for free. I will use the car for my family. I thank the Walton authorities for keeping their given promises to customers."

Authorities say, the digital registration of Walton fridge, TV, AC and washing machine is being done immediately after purchasing the products. Then, SMS regarding car or other gifts are being sent to customer's cell phones through a fully computerised system. Officials concerned at the showrooms or Plaza hand over the respective gifts to customers.

Walton Plaza's CEO Md Rayhan said, "We are providing various facilities and benefits to customers over the years. We are giving cars to customers for free under this mega campaign. Besides, Walton Plaza is the only organisation in the world that provides special benefits to its customers. 

"Under hire purchase and family protection policy, Walton Plaza provides financial assistance, ranging from Tk50,000 to Tk3,00,000, to the respective nominee. In addition, financial assistance from Tk25,000 to Tk1,50,000 is being given on the death of a family member of the respective buyers."

DMD Humayun Kabir said, "Walton is producing and marketing international standard products and giving maximum benefits to customers. Walton is exporting products to different countries after meeting the local demand." 

Actor Amin Khan said, "We should not purchase the products of the foreign brands instead of buying domestic made products. We have to buy local products in a bid to strengthen our economy. Our local industries will be enriched and our country will be developed creating new employment if we purchase the home-made products."

Through the digital campaign, detailed information including the name of the customer, cell phone number and model number of the purchased product are being stored on Walton's server.
