DIGICEL Guyana yesterday launched its Christmas promotion, titled “Gold Hunt”, in which a total of $18M in cash and prizes would be given away with much glitz and glamour during a six-week period at Palm Court (Upper Level), Main Street, Georgetown.

And the cell phone giant will make Christmas golden for Guyanese this year with the Digicel promotion “Together we make Christmas better with gold”.

According to Head of Marketing, Jacqueline James, Christmas will be brighter for all with Digicel, since winning a prize in Digicel’s Gold Hunt Christmas promotion will become every customer’s biggest wish. She said that Digicel will be giving away over $18M in cash and prizes to its customers.

James explained that to win with the ‘Digicel Gold Hunt’, customers would simply need to top-up with $500 or more and get free credit or gold bars, and 2,000 customers will win free credit of $500 weekly.

She said that customers who collect three or more gold bars will qualify for the “Digicel Gold Hunt” television show.
Qualifying customers will hunt for hidden gold bars worth up to $6M in the gold pit. All participants in the television show will receive a Samsung S5 mini handset, James added.

The ‘Digicel Gold Hunt’ grand prize show will be televised on NCN throughout Guyana. The promotion starts on November 14th with the first three-week qualifying period concluding on December 4th. Money not won in the first show will be rolled over to the second grand prize show.

The second three-week qualifying period starts on December 5th and ends on December 28th.

“We wanted to do something fabulous and we know (that) everyone likes gold. It’s luxurious, lasts forever, and is associated with royalty. Our ‘Gold Hunt’ will give our customers a chance to make their Christmas better. This promises to be a whole lot of fun and excitement,” Ms James has said.

During the launching at Palm Court yesterday afternoon, Christmas songs were sung by Jackie Hanover; and a Flash Dance (Christmas Dub Jingle), a skit highlighting the promotion, and the presentation of prizes won by media operatives — who had an opportunity to ‘hunt for gold’ by finding envelopes which were hidden in the building – were done.
