DSS 2008 attracts 1500 retail outlet registrations in just two weeks

Registration for retail outlets to participate in DSS 2008 continues and will go on till August 22.

Suhaila Gobash, DSS Sponsorship Manager said, 'The response witnessed for retail registration this year has been great and it only affirms the popularity of DSS as an economic catalyst during summer. We aim to attract a larger number of retail participants this year to provide diversified options for shopping and an enhanced shopping experience.'

Retailers who wish to submit their applications may do so by visiting the Dubai Shopping Festival Office in the first floor of Dubai Economic Department building from 9 am to 4 pm, on working days.

Retail outlets applying for the 'Summer Deals' can pay the relevant fees at the time of registration in cash or cheque.

If the mode of payment is by cheque, it should be made payable to the Department of Economic Development. Once the form is submitted, a DSS Participation Certificate will be issued.

All participating retail outlets will be under the supervision of the DSF Office to ensure that they abide by the stipulated rules and regulations.

Non-participating retail outlets and restaurants will not be allowed by the Department of Economic Development or the Dubai Municipality to conduct any kind of promotion or sales during DSS to ensure fair retail practices.
