St. Michael man first to ‘App De Ting’
There should be happy days ahead for Kenneth Daniel as he was named the first winner of the My Digicel app’s ‘App De Ting’ promotion. The 35-year-old was surprised on the job yesterday by the Digicel team with balloons, wine and a really big cheque for $10 000, becoming the first to win the telecommunications company’s weekly prizes.
Daniel, who works in the accounting department of the National Insurance Scheme, had very little to say but his massive smile did all the talking for him. “It’s great to win! It’s always great to win!” he said. A customer since 2004, Daniel said that he downloaded the application September of last year and used it for top-ups and balance cheques among other things.
Noting that he did not expect to win, the St. Michael resident said that he found the app very convenient and encouraged all Digicel customers to download it “because they could win $10,000!” he quipped.
Digicel’s Director of Marketing, Carolyn Shepherd, was on hand to make the presentation and she explained that it was easy for any customer to win just like Daniel did. She also went on to say that customers had the ability to boost their chances of winning a purse of $1 250 each week.
“It is a convenient app which customers can use, both prepaid and post-paid, to check their balances, to top up, to subscribe to a new plan, to pay their bill, so it is a very convenient app. So this month, we are doing a promotion where customers have the opportunity to win up to $50 000 with My Digicel app just by downloading and using it. You don’t have to spend any money. You can just go in, check out the plans, check your balance, and once you do that, you can be like Mr. Daniel with an opportunity to win $10 000 every week or $2 500 by going into the app, looking for the clue and posting on social media something that relates to the clue,” she said.
Stating that having the app puts customers at an advantage because details for other promotions would be released there first, Shepherd said that the first draw for $2 500 on social media would be held this week. (MP)
