The last 15 years have seen Sharaf DG evolve and establish itself as a powerhouse for electronic retail in the region. What started with a single electronics store in Dubai, today has translated into a complex web of unparalleled retailing via the brand’s omnichannel presence in United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman & Egypt. The growth of the Sharaf DG continues to be fueled by strategic brand partnerships, exceptional service and comprehensive product knowledge. A continuous effort to engage customers with intricately planned loyalty programs like the DG Members program has proven to be a key element in establishing the brand as a one stop solution for all electronic needs in the region.
Changing buying patterns
People spending more time in their homes due to COVID-19 has shown noticeable changes in demand for multiple categories on Sharafdg.com. With professionals working from home and students switching to e-learning, laptops, tablets and netbooks have come to be highly in demand which has translated into 4 times more sales for the IT category.
Home entertainment units have also increased in sales with the highest demands coming in from TVs, gaming consoles, personal care and wellness products. Sharaf DG has implemented multiple promotions to provide value for these appliances including a ‘Big Screens for Less’ promotion on SharafDG.com.
Cooking one’s own meals and documenting the process for social media has proven to be one of the lockdown’s biggest trends. The growth for the category is expected to continue with Ramadan just around the corner.
