“Shoppers were eager to secure their gifts ahead of the retail rush, with conversations surrounding supply chain and labor supply issues sending consumers online and to stores in droves. Consumers splurged throughout the season, with apparel and department stores experiencing strong growth as shoppers sought to put their best-dressed foot forward,” said Steve Sadove, senior advisor for Mastercard.

EROS has prepared all of its retail stores across the UAE for the festive season by offering consumers flexible exchange/payment plans and incentives, ensuring a hassle-free shopping experience. The company has put together a holiday gift line—from affordable to the most costly devices and products – that locals can pick up in EROS stores or go online at www.eros.ae.
