Plug Ins, a top consumer electronics retailer expects to increase its sales by 40 per cent during the upcoming Gitex Shopper, a major consumer IT and electronics sales event, said a top official.

Plug Ins, part of Dubai-based Al-Futtaim group, is offering customers a chance to win a Dodge Charger this year. Every shopper with a bill worth Dh500 ($136) or more will enter a raffle draw with the chance of taking the powerful car home. All shoppers attending the exhibition at DWTC get a chance to hit the Plug Ins gong to win guaranteed prizes on spending a minimum of Dh1,000 ($272).

“We are proud to have been associated with Gitex shopper since its inception in the year 2000. Over the 14 years, we have consistently supported the exhibition and watched it nurture and encourage the interest for electronics products within the country,” said Sean Connor, general manager, Plug Ins.

“The UAE is growing into a Tier 1 market for technology given the high propensity to spend money of the resident population. This Gitex we have almost doubled our stand as compared to last year and therefore expect a similar effect on our sales as well. I am confident that our various monster deals and major giveaways will live up to the expectations of our shoppers.”

The Plug Ins stand this year is 1,080 sq m, almost double that of last year, he added.

Offers from Plug Ins during Gitex Shopper include deals on smartphones, television sets, tablets, notebooks, desktops and cameras.

Plug Ins represents over 400 leading brands through an established network of eight stores located in popular shopping destinations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.

This year’s edition of the Gitex Shopper takes place from September 27 to October 4 at Dubai World Trade Centre. – TradeArabia News Service
