One Sensation, the Lyoness Sensation

6/17/2010
Thousands of visitors from 25 nations were entertained with an extraordinary program when they came together in Burgenland, on Saturday May 29th , for the Lyoness Sensation. The latest achievements and projects by Lyoness, as well as the Child & Family Foundation were presented during a unique program, which set the scene brilliantly. CEO Hubert Freidl, and High Performance Coach Dr. Manfred Winterheller, informed and motivated the audience, leaving them in high spirits.

One highlight of the Sensation was the presentation of the first Europe-wide retailer who will join Lyoness in September on a Cashback Card basis: The furnishings group kika/Leiner. This new retailer is a huge step forward for the Lyoness members, and a quantum leap in terms of shopping convenience.

Another outstanding innovation that was presented at the Sensation, is the Application (App.) “Cashback Mobile” for Smartphones. With this App. members can login to m.lyoness.ag from their cellphones anywhere in the world. The cellphone becomes a mobile Cashback Card, and can also be used to order gift cards whilst on the go. The first partner for this new shopping possibility is the renowned travel agency Gulliver's Reisen, where Lyoness members will be able to receive money back using the mobile Cashback system from the July 1st .

A further hit was the news that the online shopping set up has now been completed. With immediate effect, Lyoness members can now shop online in 34 countries throughout Europe, USA and Canada to quickly and easily reap their Lyoness benefits. This means a complete coverage of virtually all trade and service sectors on two continents, with approximately 92,3 million items available online and worldwide.

There was also news from the Lyoness Child & Family Foundation: The school project in Honduras is progressing well, following the purchase of the land and, since the ground breaking ceremony on June 26th, nothing stands in their way. The Foundation has also started 3 new national projects in Slovakia, Romania and also in Poland - due to the flooding.

For a month now, the Lyoness Charity bike has been available to rent from the authorised Harley-Davidson dealers “Clock Tower” in Graz. “Clock Tower” Graz is now also a Lyoness Cashback Card Partner. During the evening the Challenge "Rent the Bike” - Charity goes European Bike Week - was also presented, which will run from the 1st of June – 31st August with the chance to win the Charity Bike for a weekend.

The official Lyoness song "The Miracle of Lyoness" by Nina Stern was presented at the recent Sensation in February. As of now the CD, including “The making of” and several remixes, is available from the Lyoness Online Store and all Lyoness regional offices at a price of US$ 15.00 each.

The musical highlight of the Sensation was the performance by the British pop band “Right Said Fred”, who stormed the charts in the 90s with their song “I'm too sexy". Their spectacular performance was met with rapturous applause. Within minutes, everyone was up dancing and never sat down again until the uplifting performance was over.
