DIGICEL ROCKED THE BLOCK WITH CUSTOMERS & FOOTBALL FANS FOR THE WORLD CUP FINALS
BASSETERRE – ST. KITTS (July 12th, 2010) – The Bigger, Better Network painted local bar, Rum Barrel, red on 11th July, as they hosted promotional winner, Linus Joseph, to watch the World Cup finals.
Digicel’s ‘WIN A Party to Watch the Final’ promotion commenced in mid June and ended on July 5th. During this period, any customer who purchased a Blackberry, signed up for any prepaid or postpaid Blackberry Internet plan, or text in the letters ‘VIP’, automatically got the chance to win. The winner received a free Blackberry Bold 9700 Smartphone, free exclusive football merchandise and VIP treatment for himself and 5 friends hosted by Digicel.
Linus was randomly selected as the winner, live on Sugar City Rock on Thursday 8th July. On the day of the event, Digicel Representatives warmly welcomed Linus and his guests to the best seating in the house at Rum Barrel, in front of a big flat screen TV. Linus and his friends were given one of a kind Digicel Football Travel bags stuffed with goodies and were also treated to an open bar including light refreshments for the entire duration of the game.
Upon his receipt of his Blackberry Bold, Linus Joseph excitedly commented, “Digicel is the best! This is not my first time winning with them. I was recently handed a handset from them as a winner in their Mother’s Day promotion. It surely pays to be a Digicel customer! My friends and I had the time of our lives today all because of the Bigger, Better Network!”
In keeping with the spirit of the event, other members of the general public attending the party came ready and willing to celebrate with the Bigger, Better Network in complimentary Digicel t-shirts. Other free giveaways included caps, footballs, bandanas, water bottles and pens. The air was quickly filled with excitement and anticipation as Spain fans challenged Holland fans and vice versa.
