Digicel’s Christmas Promotion which began mid November 2007 and ended January 18, 2008 was a huge success with daily, weekly and monthly winners who were happy recipients of gifts that included radio boom boxes, MP4 players and radio backpacks.
Existing and new customers took advantage of special holiday prices on a wide range of handsets from the ever popular Nokia to the sleek and stylish Coral which is exclusive to Digicel. Additionally, all who purchased new handsets received $60 credit.

During the holiday season, existing and new customers received more from Digicel as Digicel brought their products and services out to the community through road shows, outdoor promotional events, a presence at El Dorado Mall and DigiPatrol which offered double Top Up credit to Digicel prepaid customers.

All of these activities culminated in the Grand Prize Draw for the Living Room/Entertainment Suite which included a red three piece furniture set, a 42’ flat screen TV, surround sound system, digital camera, Xbox 360 and a top-of-the line MP4 player.

There were several ways to be a part of the Grand Prize Draw and customers who topped up $25 or more, paid their bills on time or bought handsets were entered.

Excitement and anticipation crackled through the air the afternoon of the draw as the five finalists assembled and hoped that they had chosen the key that would open the door and make them the Grand Prize Winner. KOOL FM 103.3 was on hand to speak to the contestants and catch first hand their excitement.

Breaths were held as contestant #1, Fred Porter, approached the door and tried his key, then contestant #2, Michelle Porter, who was followed by contestant #3 Fiona Curtis. Unfortunately, none of those keys would be the one to open the door You could feel the anticipation as the last two contestants stood there and everyone wondered who had the winning key.

Contestant #4 who seemed to be calmest during the event thus far stepped forward. Her calm façade disappeared as nervousness overtook her and her hand shook as she tried putting the key in the door the wrong way. When finally her hand steadied and she put the key in . . . it turned and there was a winner – Jasmine Rogers of Long Path. She was so excited that she was almost speechless, but the smile on her face spoke volumes as she sat on her new red chair and surveyed all that she had won.
When Ms. Rogers did catch herself she complimented Digicel not only on their service as a mobile provider, but as a company that always gives back to its customers and the community. “Digicel has the best service. It couldn’t be better. I’ve been with Digicel since they launched and I’m here to stay,” exclaimed Ms. Rogers.

“The overall excitement of having a Grand Prize Winner and seeing the look on Ms. Rogers face when she won was priceless,” said Stephenie Brooks, Country Manger for Digicel. “I was just as nervous as the contestants when they were trying the keys and when it was down to the last two contestants, I could hardly contain myself,” said Ms. Brooks. “Congratulations to Ms. Rogers as the Grand Prize winner and all the Digicel customers who won gifts during our Christmas Promotion.”
