POND ISLAND:--- TelEm Group's Commercial Dept. is slashing international calling rates via SMITCOMS N.V. by as much as 60% to the most popular destinations.
During the coming weeks, main billboards throughout the island will be flooded with colorful advertisements featuring flags of people of Haiti, Curacao, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and the USA, with national messages to match.
According to Manager, Marketing & Sales, Emile van der Weerd, the advertising blitz will include billboard postings at various locations around St. Maarten including, Philipsburg, Bush Road, Airport and Lowlands - all aimed at increasing the number of international calls customers make.
He said information about the cut in international calling rates has already been sent to customers in a letter attached to their last bill.
"We believe that the discounted rates are a huge discount that customers calling overseas will be keen to take advantage of," said Mr. van der Weerd.
"The visuals are very powerful and the message is clear and personalized, but most of all we are continuing with our theme of giving more back to our customers across the range of services provided by TelEm Group, only this time it's with international calling rates," said Mr. van der Weerd.
He said as well as the popular destinations advertised, TelEm Group is also making it cheaper to call to ALL other destinations, however customers should call customer service or look out for new international calling rate sheets to learn more about savings on international calls – the world over.
