The Body Shop to participate in Women Expo 2005

"We are very excited to be part of Women Expo 2005 because we want to show the excellent features of our products to all ladies who will visit the exhibition," said Ashwin Sequeira, Manager of National Marketing & Trading Co. LLC, the franchise holder of The Body Shop in the Sultanate.

Sequeira announced that they are planning to introduce a wider range of make-up during the exhibition. He added that they would also use the event to raise awareness on The Body Shop's "Love Your Body" membership cards, which will be launched in Oman this November. The card entitles members to discounts on their purchases on any of the Body Shop outlets in Oman.

The Body Shop is just one of the growing number of companies that have already reserved space at Women Expo 2005, which will be held at the Oman International Exhibition Centre.

"The exhibition gives companies that deal in women's products the opportunity to present their products directly to their target customers," said C.J. Paul, General Manager of Omanexpo, the leading events management company in the Sultanate. "Women Expo 2005 will also feature workshops and seminars designed to further develop the skills and knowledge of women."
