Support for Loco Solare: An Innovative Gifting Campaign in Kitami

In a unique initiative to support the renowned women's curling team, Loco Solare, Seven-Eleven Japan Co., Ltd., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has teamed up with Engate, a digital sports gifting service provider. This collaboration introduces the Engate Sponsorship Model (ESM) as a part of a pilot program running from February 2 to February 15, 2026. During this period, approximately 60 Seven-Eleven stores in the Kitami area of Hokkaido will be offering select products that allow consumers to contribute directly to the team they admire.

The campaign’s premise is simple yet engaging: customers who purchase two or more selected products in one transaction receive a receipt with a point exchange voucher. By taking this voucher to the register, they can swap it for a ticket featuring a coupon code. When this code is entered on the Engate website, customers earn 100 Engate points which can be used to send a digital gift to Loco Solare. This unique system creates a new buying cycle where consumers’ purchasing decisions directly foster support for their local sports team.
