Telecommunications company Econet Wireless Zimbabwe has launched its annual Christmas promotion in which over US$375 000 worth of prizes will be won.
Econet chief commercial officer Mr Navdeep Kapur said this year’s “iKhisimusi Sifikile/Kisimusi Yatosvika” promotion – now running for the third year in a row – had been revamped to include more prizes.
“We are pleased to announce another exciting Christmas promotion aimed at rewarding loyal customers and their loved ones during the festive season,” said Mr Kapur at the launch of the promotion in Harare last week.
“This year, our focus for the festive season is to spread the love and joy to as many of our customers as possible, with special delights for them from now until February next year.” Customers who spend at least US$5 on airtime purchases qualify for the weekly draws.
Prizes include gas stoves, fridges, smartphones and airtime.
When a customer spends at least US$10 or equivalent in store, they stand a chance to win Econet-branded items, including umbrellas, African fabrics (waist wraps and doeks), notebooks, power banks, water bottles and key holders.
“We also have grand draw prizes of eight residential stands and solar systems for our customers who spend at least US$60 on airtime,” said Mr Kapur.
He added that the “iKhisimusi Sifikile/Kisimusi Yatosvika” promotion, running until February 21 next year, is in keeping with Econet’s core values of providing excellent services to customers, including meeting and addressing their communication and connectivity needs using the latest technology.
“As a customer-centric organisation, we always look for unique opportunities to transform the lives of our customers. We will be giving our customers more value, especially during this festive season.”
Econet early this year launched Zimbabwe’s first 5G network.
The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange-listed company has been growing its subscriber base steadily over the last two decades.
Recently, it increased the number of connected subscribers by 20 percent to reach an all-time high of 16,1 million in the half year to August 31, 2022.
