Debon Moses wins NTRC’s Christmas Giveaway

Miss Debon Moses is happy to have won $500 worth of groceries from Bonadies Supermarket No. 2 compliments the National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (NTRC) via its Facebook Christmas Hamper Giveaway.

The Christmas Hamper Giveaway was the NTRC’s final public awareness promotion for 2015 to improve its relations on social media platform Facebook. To enter the competition, persons were required to “Like” the NTRC’s Facebook page (NTRC SVG), and enter their contact details to gain one entry. To gain additional entries and improve their chances of winning, persons were required to invite their friends to join the competition. For each invited friend that joined, entrants were awarded two additional entries. At the end of the competition, Miss Debon Moses was selected as the winner.

The Commission held several other promotions on Facebook throughout 2015 where persons won tablet computers and back to school vouchers. The competitions held resulted in an increase in followers by over 2,000. An increase in followers provided a larger social audience by which the Commission could disperse information about topics such as Cyber security related issues, the Commission’s activities amongst others. The Commission has also used Facebook to further advise the public who publicly share their telecommunications related complaints.

For 2016, the Commission will be continuing its efforts to disperse information and interact with the Vincentian public using Facebook and other popular social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram.
