“The campaign was well-received by shopping centres, shops and shoppers,” he further said.

For his part, Jamal Bu Zinjal, Assistant General Coordinator for Sharjah Shopping Promotions, lauded the cooperation of major shopping centres in Sharjah with the campaign by increasing the numbers of prizes given to shoppers in addition to the prizes allocated by the chamber.

“This has undoubtedly helped us bring about the ultimate goals of the campaign as evidenced by the growing volumes of sales and shopping, something which made the second edition of the event successful by all standards.

We highly appreciated the role played by the Sharjah Broadcasting Authority (SBA) through its raffle program “Shopping Promotions”, which has been broadcasted on Sharjah TV every week during the event and has contributed greatly to promoting the campaign,” Bu Zinjal noted.
