Softlogic Glomark’s “ගෙට Better Life” Campaign Wins Gold at Dragons of Sri Lanka 2026

Softlogic GLOMARK, has been recognised at the Dragons of Sri Lanka Awards 2026

Softlogic GLOMARK, one of Sri Lanka’s leading supermarket chains, has been recognised at the Dragons of Sri Lanka Awards 2026, winning Gold and Black Dragon for Loyalty & Acquisition and Product Relaunch. The recognition reflects a deliberate strategic shift in how GLOMARK engages with the evolving needs of Sri Lankan consumers. Rather than competing primarily on convenience or price, GLOMARK built a purpose-led proposition around “A Better Life for Your Home,” repositioning the everyday grocery shop as an opportunity to make healthier, more considered choices for customers and their families.

Launched nationally as “ගෙට Better Life,” the campaign brought this proposition to life through a vibrant commercial and memorable jingle, before extending the idea beyond advertising and into the shopping experience itself. Trained employees, curated product ranges and a re-aligned store environment were designed to make better choices more visible, accessible and easier to adopt.

The strategy translated into measurable business results. Active loyalty customers grew by 21%, footfall increased by 33%, while GLOMARK’s most frequent shoppers grew by 50%. The results demonstrate that building relevance and trust can create stronger customer relationships than competing solely on price or convenience.

Softlogic GLOMARK CEO Terry O’Connor said: “This award signals that our long-term strategy is working. We set out to build a brand customers choose because it genuinely improves their lives, not simply because it is convenient or cheap. Seeing that reflected in both industry recognition and real business growth confirms that we are on the right path and strengthens our confidence as we continue investing in GLOMARK’s future.”

Softlogic GLOMARK Head of Marketing Chamindri Pilimatalauwe said: “Our customers are increasingly making more deliberate, health-conscious, better choices, and this recognition confirms that our brand strategy is responding to that shift. We believe that when we curate every aisle and guide customer’ through it, we are also helping curate the lives of our customers. In that sense, we are more than a supermarket. We have the ability to influence how Sri Lanka lives, and we take that responsibility seriously. ගෙට Better Life’ was never intended to be a single campaign moment. It represents a fundamental repositioning of what GLOMARK stands for, designed to inspire and earn loyalty rather than simply drive footfall.

Softlogic GLOMARK Director, Commercial and Supply Chain Thiloka Marasinghe said: “We have aligned our suppliers and partners around this purpose and actively encourage them to contribute to it. This is only the beginning. Our ambition is to make more of our aisles a Better Life aisle. From curated product ranges to in-store guidance, every decision is aimed at making the better choice the easier choice. The growth in loyal, repeat customers shows us that this approach is resonating.”

Softlogic GLOMARK has operated in Sri Lanka’s retail industry for over seven years and will celebrate its eighth anniversary in November. The company is part of Softlogic Holdings PLC, a diversified conglomerate with interests spanning ICT, healthcare, retail, financial services, automobiles and leisure.
