REDTAG Underpins Positive GCC Sales Forecast With Continuation of Cyrine Abdelnour Celebrity Brand Ambassadorship
Extended partnership with Arab model, actress and singer Cyrine AbdelNour signals REDTAG’s confidence in GCC fast fashion market
Dubai, 22nd January 2017: Declining oil prices, a strong dollar and political instability continue to cause concern for retail analysts who speculate that the region will experience a turbulent year ahead prompting many brands to adopt strategies to ride the storm and protect profit margins. That is, perhaps, with the exception of the region’s fastest growing grassroots fashion brand REDTAG who today confirmed it has extended its celebrity ambassadorship agreement with popular Arab artist, Cyrine AbdelNour for 2017/18.
This recent move by REDTAG signals a contrast to the more conservative approach adopted by many of the value fashion brand’s competitors as the battle for market share in the competitive value fashion category intensifies.
REDTAG has gained strength across the region to emerge as one of the fastest growing brands in the value fashion category, opening 21 stores in the past 12 months alone. Following over a decade of unprecedented growth across the region, REDTAG has evolved to become a major player in the fashion retail arena with 190 stores in 12 markets across MENA and CIS- 114 of which operate exclusively in the retail brand’s largest market of Saudi. And it’s not just womenswear that REDTAG are leading the race with, the variety offered for the entire family- from babies to maternity right through to menswear and homeware ensures it maintains a strong presence in almost every category across the Kingdom.
While investment in expanding its geographical presence across the GCC is at an all-time high, this, explains Chief Operating Officer, David Pidgeon, is done as part of a broader long-term business strategy: “We understand the same predictions and forecasts about the regional economy as anyone else and we recognise that all six GCC economies will experience some form of slowdown during 2017, and that our consumer will remain cautious.”
He continued: “As a home-grown brand we are committed to this market, and will continue to invest throughout the region with more store openings and an ongoing investment in promoting the REDTAG brand. Through respectful and continuous engagement with the 7 million plus members in our RT Rewards loyalty scheme, we will ensure we deliver what they need in terms of brand, product and quality. And while we must be cautious in our approach, we must also invest in laying the foundations to future-proof the business for what might be slower albeit positive, overall growth despite the market turbulence and the impact of macro-economics.”
Revealed as the face of REDTAG in late 2015, Cyrine AbdelNour’s collaboration with the value fashion brand has gone from strength to strength and won REDTAG a whole new legion of Arab fans while endearing the already popular sweetheart star even further to her loyal followers.
Commenting on her ongoing association with REDTAG, Cyrine AbdelNour said, “I am delighted to see my partnership with REDTAG evolve even further this year. Since our partnership began in 2015, REDTAG and I have worked together to bring to life the real meaning of fashion for everyone everyday with collections which are on trend and on budget and most importantly made for the women of the Middle East. I very much look forward to unveiling what promises to be another exciting REDTAG seasonal collection for Summer 2017.”
While REDTAG continues to satisfy customers across the GCC with on-trend collections several times a year in addition to lucrative seasonal sales, and now the continuation of its popular celebrity campaign, the company also ensures that it connects with existing customers through the use of digital media where it maintains a strong and widespread presence on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram.
