RIAZU.COM LAUNCHES ITS DUBAI ‘DEALS & DISCOUNTS’ FORUM

Dubai – 18th October 2008: Riazu (riazu.com), the largest online classifieds network in the Middle East, launched its ‘Deals & Discounts’ forum in Dubai today.

This platform is unique in the Middle East, as it is the only comprehensive source of information relating to promotions, sales, special offers, and discounts at retail outlets in the region.

A one-stop shop for information on shopping in Dubai:

“As of now, people looking for shopping deals in Dubai have to hunt through newspapers, frantically phone friends, call up shopping malls, and even rely on good fortune” says Ozair Mateen, Founder and President. “Riazu changes this; one can visit the forum, view and comment on posts about the latest in Dubai shopping, and even inform others about deals and discounts that they have heard of. The launch of this forum is a major step towards Riazu’s aim of creating a dynamic online community in Dubai.”

There is a growing pool of retailers, hoteliers, auto companies and electronics stores which are regularly posting their own special offers, promotions and packages. This allows Dubai shoppers to receive the most up-to-date shopping information from a reliable source.

A platform for interaction between brands and consumers:

Riazu Dubai is also working with companies to create one-of-a-kind shopping vouchers and promotions; Riazu community users will have exclusive access to these perks. For example, Murad Enterprises (the exclusive agent for Liberty Shoes in the UAE) will offer Riazu users an exclusive 15% discount on all formal footwear and accessories.

“Riazu aims to be a catalyst for change in how consumers and markets interact in the Middle East” comments Danial Jameel, CEO. “Users will be able to communicate with brands on the forum and provide their own ideas for innovative vouchers and promotions. This will enable brands to develop a deeper, value-adding relationship with their consumers.”
