DGJG's gold coin promotion draws deferred

As part of the revised schedule, the draws for the gold coin promotion will now be held on the first day of DSS, the last day of DSS and the remaining raffles will be held during DSF 2006-07.

The Group, which has been instrumental in promoting and improving the gold and jewellery trade in Dubai, meanwhile announced that its jewellery promotion will continue unabated until March 3, 2006, further emphasizing the association's efforts to reinforce Dubai's reputation as the Jewellery Destination of the World.

Talking about the postponement of the draws, Mr. K.P Baiju, General Manager Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group, said: 'The Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group has always initiated its efforts keeping the best interest of our loyal customers and the trade. We have decided to continue the Gold Coin campaign through DSS 2006 and into the next DSF to offer people in Dubai more chances to win gold and spectacular prizes, therefore the coins will still be available for purchase at the same price at the jewellery outlets. If there are any changes made to this promotion, the customers will be notified immediately.'

He added:

'As an industry body, we are also keeping the interest of the gold and jewellery trade as our priority and we can assure that this move will not adversely affect anyone. There has a lot of hard work and dedication in putting together the campaign and we are extremely thankful to the government for their consistent support. The jewellery promotion will continue as scheduled.'

Striking a more upbeat note, Mr. K.P. Baiju said: 'I would say that the buyers of the gold coin have already reaped some benefits, considering the appreciation in the gold prices worldwide.'

All customers will be called personally by the DGJG staff to update them on the status of the promotion, based on the information available on the coupon.
