Big rise in gold and jewellery sales
BY A STAFF REPORTER
29 January 2004
DUBAI - The Gold and Jewellery Group has announced that sales of gold and jewellery in Dubai has soared to a staggering Dh195,000,000 in just twelve days since the start of DSF 2004.
Following the group's announcement last week that gold and jewellery sales have increased by almost 20 per cent against the same period in 2003, the group, who represent almost 500 members of the gold and jewellery retail and manufacturing trade, have forecast that this years Dubai Shopping Festival is now well on track to become one of the most successful years that the group has ever seen.
With the introduction of the innovative World Family Commemorative Gold Coin, a 10-gram pure gold memento that depicts the DSF World Family and on the flip side a golden landscape scene of Dubai's architectural triumphs, the group's promotional effort has clearly captured the imagination of both local and international jewellery lovers. Almost 200,000 raffle coupons have been submitted, and already twelve lucky winners from five countries have collected a kilo of gold from the group in the form of an impressive bag of 100 World Family Commemorative gold coins.
"The impact of the World Family Gold Coin promotion can not be underestimated. The positive results can be clearly seen. Gold and jewellery shoppers have already purchased 3000 coins since our launch in early January. We again thank DSF for their support and endorsement for our new World Family gold product and we look forward to further supporting the development of the gold and jewellery retail sector, further establishing Dubai as an international hub for gold, jewellery, precious metals and gemstones," said Tawhid Abdullah, Chairman, Gold and Jewellery Group.
Speaking about her reaction to the Gold and Jewellery Group's World Family DSF 2004 promotion, an overjoyed British gold winner Sarah Taylor spoke of her Dubai shopping experience by saying," This is my first time to Dubai and it has been an amazing one. While here on business I was so impressed by the city that I encouraged my family to follow me here for a weeklong holiday. I have been extremely impressed by the friendliness of the people, and of course the quality of the shopping, in particular the jewellery. I have never seen such an impressive variety, and the price is truly exceptional. Now that I have won my fantastic prize of these lovely gold coins, I expect that I might buy even more jewellery before I head home this weekend.
