Gulf News subscription campaign: A digital and print bundle offer
“For the very first time, we are offering a print & digital bundle subscription,” says CEO
Dubai: Gulf News subscription campaigns have always been about giving readers access to our quality and in-depth journalism with high value offers. And the 2022 offer upholds that tradition. For the very first time Gulf News launched a ‘bundle subscription offer’ in January which received an overwhelming response – you can still get this special bundle at this offer rate of Dh379 for a limited time.
What does this mean? The subscription offer gives readers unlimited access to gulfnews.com, along with a full annual print subscription. So, you not only enjoy the feel of a print edition but also get to read the massive repository of in-depth online content that is updated by the hour.
In addition to this, there is also a Ramadan offer for new digital subscribers. Gulf News has launched a new Ramadan offer:
- 40% discount on annual digital subscription – AED 30 (Original price: AED 49)
- 50% discount on two years’ digital subscription - AED 40 (Original price AED 79)
Also, you get loyalty points from our partners 10% back as SHARE Points or 5 BOUNZ per AED spent. This offer will be on throughout Ramadan
Gulf News CEO and Editor-in-Chief Abdul Hamid Ahmad, said: “As promised, we have come with a stronger subscription campaign for 2022, with high-value vouchers and access to all our products."
For the very first time, we are offering a bundle subscription price that is extremely reasonable and includes both print and digital. We build upon our last year’s campaign, which was very successful.
Our readers have full trust in Gulf News, be it print or digital, and we hope that with this new offer, more people who are already well acquainted with Gulf News’ quality journalism in print, can now experience the same when it comes to Gulf News online, including all its unique content that continually looks beyond the news, to bring to readers the complete picture. We look forward to expanding our community of both print and online readers with this new offer.”
Gulf News Executive Editor Meher Murshed explained that this new subscription campaign gives readers unlimited access to gulfnews.com for a year.
“We are the first in the region to offer a print and digital bundle together, which makes for one compelling read. We have very strong products online, such as Living in UAE, Your Money, Parenting, Food, Special Reports and Games, some of which are displayed in print. However, print readers can now avail themselves of the entire digital bouquet, where they can read the best of content in print and then move to gulfnews.com, where they will find in-depth reads. In 2022, we have entered a new era where digital and print go hand in hand. Readers who love the feel of print can get instant news breaks on digital and stay informed and up to date 24/7.”
