Set to be a trailblazer for consumer electronic retailers in the GCC, the region’s leading mobile reseller, axiom telecom, opened its doors to a refined shopping experience at The Dubai Mall today, offering customers a series of exciting services tailored to meet the demands of the UAE’s tech enthusiasts.
‘Experiential Shopping’ is the new mantra for Millennials, who account for nearly half of the Middle East population, says axiom’s Managing Director, Faisal Al Bannai, adding that the store renovation was inspired by a deep desire to enhance the way customers explore mobile technology.
“Today, UAE shoppers are looking for a more fulfilling retail experience – one in which product selection, value for money, and customer care form the cornerstone of their consumer journey,” said Faisal Al Bannai, Managing Director of axiom. “By being first-to-market with the latest releases, and providing a wide variety of supportive products and services, we ultimately offer customers a one-stop-shop for all their mobile needs. We look forward to expanding this concept to all our stores across the region.”
All-new customization experience with ‘XCustoms’
Responding to the country’s passion for personalization and flair for fashion, axiom has launched a dedicated zone coined ‘XCustoms’, a one-stop-shop for smartphone and tablet customization in the UAE.
From gold plating, engraving, and colorful skins, to UV printing and Swarovski crystals, XCustoms allows gadget owners to express their individuality – whether it is supporting a favorite band or team, or showcasing a unique sense of style. Nearly all services are completed in-store, allowing customers to make a statement with their personalized device in no time.
