I told you last year that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), will initiate these days in Japan a promotion called Lucky Bag, offering interested customers the opportunity to purchase gift bags containing products with a value greater than or equal to the purchase price of the bag. Apple sells a lucky bag at the price of $340, and customers buy it without knowing what's inside, but the company took care to prepare a series of extremely interesting products for them.
I start with the t-shirt you see in the first image, it being specially made for this promotion, being accompanied by 2 more products with a special design, a backpack worth $100 and a Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation that costs another $60. Apple has 4 types of Lucky Bags, these 3 products are included in each of them, but separately the company includes an 11-inch MacBook Air, a 16 GB iPad Air Wi-Fi Only tablet, an iPod Nano and an old version of the tablet iPad Mini, which of course is Wi-Fi Only.
Jaybirds BlueBuds X Bluetooth headphones ($169.95); Stem IZON app-controlled remote camera ($99.95); Logitech Ultimate Ears Mobile Boombox ($89.99); Square card reader ($9.99, or free when you sign up for Square); Jaybirds BlueBuds X Bluetooth headphones ($169.95); Logitech Ultimate Ears Mobile Boombox ($89.99); Incase Sports Armband Pro for iPod nano (29.95); Griffin Courier Clip for iPod nano ($24.95).
However, don't think that Apple is stingy, in each of the 4 types of bags, the accessories presented above are also randomly found, so we are talking about a promotion that helps customers save hundreds of dollars on their purchase. Unfortunately, Apple runs this promotion only in Japan, but maybe in the not too distant future it will also extend it to the USA/Europe.
