On Wednesday, the lucky mixture of men and women, made up of both post-paid and pre-paid customers, were given the money as part of Digicelâs latest promotion, which gives money to random persons when they talk for three minutes or more on their mobile Digicel phones.
The promotion, which allows persons to win cash just by talking, is Digicelâs 2013 Carnival promotion, dubbed âTalk & Winâ.
Marketing manager at Digicel Juno DeRoche said that the promotion involves both pre-paid and post-paid customers, while the winners are announced on Hot 97.1 FM every Friday. She said that Wednesdayâs recipients were persons who had won on Friday, June 7th and Friday, June 14th, while todayâs winners Friday, June 21st will win EC$500, as the company has increased the money, âbecause, as usual, we always have our customers at heartâ.
From this Friday, a customer who talks for three minutes or more on any Digicel local call automatically qualifies to be one of eight persons who can win $500 cash weekly.
The promotion, which began on Friday, May 31st, enters a person who talks for three minutes or more into a random draw to win the cash.
Meanwhile,marketing executive Justin John said that Digicel is the only company that rewards customers just for talking and they have moved the winnings up to EC$500.
âThe draws will be done live every Friday on Hot 97.1 FM and persons will win cash that is much welcomed in these timesâ, said John who added that the promotion will run throughout the Carnival season.
âWe are making sure that our customers have that much needed extra cash for Vincy Mas 2013 and beyondâ, said John.
