Port-Of-Spain, Trinidad (Sonique Solutions) –The prestigious World Cup Competition is once again upon us and set to ignite the continent of Africa. As eager football fans around world are preparing to storm sports bars and almost literally glue themselves to television sets, the telecommunications juggernaut Bmobile has guaranteed 12 Trinidad and Tobago nationals a first hand viewing of the 2010 extravaganza in South Africa.
The 12 fortunate winners of Bmobile’s South Africa 2010 Promotion were presented at a private function held last Friday in the VIP room of the popular Port-Of-Spain restaurant and night spot, The Coco Lounge. Members of the media were treated to a variety of delicacies, an open bar and the opportunity to touch base with the company’s executives as well as the lucky Bmobile contest winners before their trek to South Africa.
Bmobile Product Manager, Chevon Wilson (the main creative force behind the World Cup promotion) stated that the promotion ran from April 28th to May 20th and was heavily advertised on radio, TV and print media as well as the B part of it website and Facebook fan page. Customers were eligible for the coveted prize by topping up their credit (prepaid), signing new plans (postpaid) and joining the Facebook fan page.
The randomly selected winners were personally contacted by Wilson, who took great joy in hearing their initial reactions. A definite football enthusiast himself, Wilson much like the other 12 blessed individuals is excited to go to South Africa and claims that in the absence of the Soca Warriors the Bmobile contingent which he describes as being the “Big Trini Lime in South Africa” will proudly represent the Red, White and Black.
When asked about her amazing win, Tobago Native, June Lashley-Smith confessed that this will mark her first venture outside T&T’s shores. Lashley-Smith who will be celebrating her birthday while overseas for the World Cup considers this to be a truly fantastic present, “I plan to kiss the ground when I land”, she proclaimed.
Narendra Maharaj was unsure of what to believe when he received his call about his prize, “I thought it was a prank because the possibility of this happening to me was slim”. Maharaj experiences feelings of shock and ecstasy as he awaits his once in a lifetime trip to the competition of competitions.
Competition winner Barry Sookhoo found out about his victory via Facebook. He admits that although he was initially skeptical he replied and shortly after received the call that would bring utter joy to his day. “I immediately called all my family members and a close football-fanatic friend who was real jealous”.
Ronald Forde describes the moment he received his phone call as “a rejuvenation of spirit” as thoughts of going to the homeland of Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko flooded his mind. This Calypso Composer and Chairman of St. Francois National Football Club looks forward to supporting his favourite team, Brazil and to experiencing the orchestration of such a mammoth event.
As it pertains to the mobile carrier that afforded him this astounding voyage to the World Cup 2010, Mr. Forde shared, “I have never owned another phone but a Bmobile phone…I am a loyal customer. Bmobile is homegrown, just like me”.
One attendee at last Friday’s event said, “It’s good to see a large corporate entity giving back in a world that’s all about taking”. This promotion is a sure sign of a company giving back a hundred fold to its loyal clientele as the World Cup package entitles winners to:
