Miss SVG contestants and Courts spreading Carnival spirit

Courts St Vincent Limited was a hive of activity last Friday, as the 2016 Miss SVG pageant contestants dropped into the Bay Street based business, where they mingled with employees and customers.

The eight contestants, Anya Frederick, Dahvana Providence, Jeanette Richards, Nikianna Williams, Raneasha Loraine, Shanique Alexander, {{more}}Vakeesha John and Zenna Lewis, also took ‘selfies’ with fans and well-wishers.

The lasses took the opportunity to try the Vincentian-owned Rici Cosmetics’ matte lipsticks, while they also modelled eyewear available at Courts. The contestants also gave interviews to radio and television broadcasters.

One lucky customer who spent $999 or more had an opportunity to win a Miss SVG 2016 ticket.

The Courts visit is part of the girls’ promotional and interactive sessions, in the lead up to the Miss SVG pageant, slated for May 28, 2016 Courts Commercial manager Lisa Veira said on Friday that Courts has been an integral part of Vincy Mas over the years, even using local artistes as mascots for their carnival promotions, as well as providing Miss SVG pageant winners with gifts.

Veira added that Courts also showcased a number of its electronics and appliances last Friday, May 6, through in-store demonstrations and samplings. She noted that a similar product demonstration took place in Bequia on Wednesday last week.

Meanwhile, shoppers at Courts St Vincent Limited can look forward to leaving with more than their purchases when they take part in new promotions at the store this carnival season.

Veira said that with the TCL smartphone campaign completed, customers can now take part in the ‘MABE Phabulous Phablet campaign’, where shoppers can win phablets (phone, plus tablet in one device) with purchases of MABE products.

Courts Facebook followers were also able get in on the action, during the furniture, appliance, electronics and eyewear provider’s Mother’s Day contest, where one person could win a special gift if their photo secured the most likes and comments on the company’s Facebook page. To take part in this promo, entrants had to like a Courts OECS Facebook page, upload a photo of a mom with an appliance, furniture or electronics with the hashtag #CourtsMothersDayGiveaway. A consolation prize would also be offered to the photo with the most likes.
