MiddleEastPostBox.com launched an online email campaign for promoting the first online supermarket in United Arab Emirates (UAE), UAEFoodMall.com, which has been set-up using a shopping cart application with a payment on delivery facility currently being offered in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.  

 

Visitors to the site can take advantage of offers for general grocery items, fruits and vegetables, meat, chicken, seafood, deli and roastery. All visitors to UAEFoodMall.com who register online before May 1, 2003 are entitled to enter a raffle draw to win a free return ticket to London, according to a company press release. 

 

In addition, the first 100 customers who place orders online will receive a 50 Emirati dirham discount on their first purchase. The web site allows individual and corporate customers to register online with a password. Based on the membership information provided, the site allows express shopping facility for delivery within 90 minutes for orders exceeding Dhs100. — (menareport.com)
