Iodex takes up a noble initiative of setting up a ‘Massage Van’ with 4 foot massage machines that were handled and operated by volunteers for the devotees at the Pandharpur Wari 2022, the Biggest Rural Event of Maharashtra, dating from June 21 to July 10 (Ashadi Ekadashi). The brand started its initiative on 3rd July 2022 and ended it by 10th July 2022- a complete 7 days activation.
Lakhs of devotees came to seek the blessings of Lord Vithoba at the Vithoba Temple of Pandharpur, Maharashtra. Since Pandharpur Yatra is on the foot, it becomes exhausting for the devotees. More than 50% of the devotees, were aging above 50 years, who are liable for joint pains and leg aches after a long journey on foot. The foot massage machines provided relief to nearly 4500 devotees during the Yatra. As per the core objective of Iodex- It is for every pain, besides leg pains and foot aches, the brand considered pains in hands, arms, shoulders and back and hence, created gazebos that had masseuse who were applying the product and massaging with their hands. The gazebos attracted nearly 1500 devotees to take the massage.
The campaign recorded the visibility of more than 2 lakh people.
