The Bahrain Noor El Ain festival (BNEA) has extended its deadline for retailers to register for the Shop and Win scheme until the January 29.

Retail participation is overwhelmingly positive and has exponentially grown since the initial registration announcement, said the organisers of the event which runs till February 16, 2015.

Due to popular demand, the Bahrain Noor El Ain Festival has extended the deadline for retailers to register at the official kiosks located at the BCCI at Beit Al Tijjar in Sanabis and join over 20 malls and over 1500 retailers inside and outside malls offering promotions, sales and special offers to shoppers, they stated.

The allowance for more time to register offers the additional retailers and outlets the opportunity to join in Bahrain Noor El Ain’s Shopping Festival, by engaging consumers, promoting their products and to contribute their efforts in growing Bahrain’s thriving economy.

The festival aims at boosting the economy by offering retailers unique benefits upon joining that improve their business performance, while retailers are offered the opportunity to give their shoppers the chance to win fabulous prizes.

With every BD10 ($26.5) spent, shoppers become eligible to participate in the weekly mega raffle that offers amazing prizes such as cars, iPads, iPhones, Samsung phones, televisions, F1 tickets, Gulf Air tickets and Go Pro cameras in addition to vouchers.

The convenience of the raffle also allows any purchasers at registered retailers, both inside malls and outside, to redeem a raffle ticket for each BD10 spent, at any appointed Bahrain Noor El Ain raffle kiosks within participating malls.
