Courts (Fiji) Limited yesterday finalised what it dubbed as its biggest and most sucessful promotions of all time.
The draw of the 2013 Courts Christmas Grand Promotions in partnership with Vodafone Fiji was witnessed at Courts Megastore in Samabula yesterday by customers and partners.
Courts chief executive offi cer P.L. Munasinghe said: “The promotions we ran under the theme ‘Thrills on Wheels’ is historic in many respects.
“I say it’s historic because for the fi rst time we are giving a way over $600,000 worth of gift pack and giveaways to our customers.
“Secondly for the fi rst time we are giving away four vehicles and now interestingly the vehicles are promoted and marketed by our own public company Vision Motors.
“Thirdly when I say historic I mean that this year we had the highest number of customer participation in this competition.”
The major prizes were a Peugeot French SUV, three Chevrolet Soni Cars and other prizes all valued at $600,000.
In listing all the reason for its historic reasons, Mr Munasinghe said the promotion was in the ultimate philosophy of the company and that is to give back to customers.
“We actually believe in good value to customers that is centric to our business as well.
Our philosophy is to change people’s lives and we believe that this one of the ways in doing it.”
Vodafone
Vodafone Fiji manager-Dealers & Devices Avichal Prasad said this long partnership with Courts is something that customers can look forward to.
“With this partnership the customers benefit when they get to feel from Courts and Vodafone as well all of what they have purchased,” he said.
“This is especially when we focus on the Vodafone products and the ICT products which Courts and Vodafone are selling together.”
Winners drawn yesterday will be officially handed over their prizes this Saturday.
Redraws
It is understood that organisers had to default some of the potential winners names because some had yet to clear to arrears while others were unidentifi able.
Organisers said that a redraw was necessary to fall in line with the terms and conditions of the promotions.
