PLUG INS, Al-Futtaim’s multi-brand consumer electronics retailer has confirmed its participation at the spring edition of GITEX Shopper along with a combination of exciting discounts as well as bundle offers on smartphones, tablets, cameras and panels among others.

Located at stand SS2-1, PLUG INS has introduced a scheme never seen before in the industry. It has committed to choose 12 winners per day from among customers who shop worth AED 1,000 or more. This will ensure there is a new winner every hour in addition to 1 Grand Prize winner who would win 12 different products on the last day of GITEX.

Sean Connor, General Manager of PLUG INS said: “PLUG INS is proud to continue our participation at the GITEX Spring Shopper. This is likely to be an interesting year with the industry at the peak of innovative marketing. We are also excited about the new af range of phones, exclusive to PLUG INS, making their first ever GITEX appearance. This range has consistently led our sales charts for the last few weeks and we expect to see similar demand during the Shopper exhibition.

“Overall, we believe smartphones will continue to be the driver for the event, but we will see panels and IT deliver strong results on the back of great savings and new lineups. We are expecting iPhone 6, Samsung S5, note 4, A5, HTC One M9, new IT products featuring convertible/hybrid laptops, touchscreen desktops and ultra-high definition panels to be the primary crowd pullers,” he added.

Within the smartphone category, for any purchase made customers would receive free gift vouchers, Bluetooth headsets, power banks, multi-chargers, selfie-sticks, SIM cards, Micro SD cards & XTOUCH phones. On buying a tablet, customers would be eligible for gift vouchers worth up to a value of AED 1,000 while buying a panel could raise the value of gift vouchers to up to AED 11,000. Buying a notebook could be equally rewarding – with a carry case, anti-virus, headset, speaker, E-Phone, hard drive and tablet added free of cost.

In addition, there is a buy back offer where customers can exchange their existing devices for cash. Customers can also look forward to participating in exciting games to win prizes at the PLUG INS Shopper stand while listening to the latest tunes from DJ AKS.
