UAE Gold Shoppers Enticed by 3-Day Flash Sales Amid Drop in Gold Prices
UAE’s leading jewelers have kicked off a three-day flash sale, offering shoppers discounts of up to 50% on selected gold and jewelry collections and 10% off on full-price items. The sale comes as Dubai gold prices have fallen by nearly AED 8 per gram over the past few days, creating an opportunity for retailers to boost demand in what has been a sluggish period for gold and jewelry sales.
The promotion, which starts today, is timed to take advantage of the recent steep dip in gold rates, with jewelers hoping to attract price-sensitive customers and capitalize on increased foot traffic generated by similar sales across retail sectors.
While malls across Dubai and independent retailers have reported strong turnout during recent flash sales in other categories, the jewelry sector has struggled with one of its lowest demand phases in recent months. Retailers are optimistic, however, that the combination of lower prices and limited-time offers will help turn the tide.
“Gold shoppers in the UAE tend to respond quickly to favorable price movements, especially when paired with attractive deals,” said a Dubai-based jeweler. “This flash sale is strategically timed to capture whatever demand exists and potentially revive interest as we approach the summer travel and gifting season.”
The sale will run across major malls in Dubai and select standalone outlets, with consumers urged to act quickly as offers are only valid for three days.
