About the Campaign: The Good Store
The Good Store, powered by TECOM Group in partnership with H+K and Emirates Red Crescent, was an immersive and innovative shopping experience that brought together 105,000+ Dubai private sector workers and students to shop for items in un-staffed physical stores, employing a digital payment experience.
But products never left the store, because their purchase became a cash donation to Emirates Red Crescent to share with those who needed the item most. The Good Store saw 7,500+ people purchase items for refugees during Ramadan, with an average donation of 20 AED per shopper over just two weeks!
This was a first-of-its-kind fundraising campaign for Emirates Red Crescent and, due to its success, The Good Store has now become permanently open and acts as the creative umbrella to TECOM Group’s ESG strategy with an ongoing partnership with Emirates Red Crescent
