Don’t say the A-word
Posted by: Mona
One of our readers emailed us that The Avenues Mall management published a notice on the front page of Al-Rai newspaper that no one is allowed to mention, talk about or post pictures of The Avenues Mall, the company or the logo without getting written permission from the management. This goes to any form of text or visual advertising, through the internet, social networking or mobile phones.
This is weird, how do they plan on restricting the thousands of mall visitors from mentioning about “The Mall” in their regular social networking life? I guess it will just fade away like their “No Smoking” policy pretty soon.
Thanks Eman

The Avenues have responded in regards to the notice in today’s paper on not being allowed to use the Avenues name, pictures or anything related. Basically that notice was for people who were using the Avenues brand for commercial purposes.
We would like to affirm to our friends and followers on social media networks that your efforts to follow activities of The Avenues Mall are greatly appreciated, and we always stand ready to provide you with the latest news.
With regard to the ad published in some of the newspapers, it refers to the use of the name and the logo of The Avenues Mall in some of the programs and projects on the World Wide Web, as well as to websites that are using the logo of The Avenues as their own logo when in fact they do not represent the company. This is in violation of intellectual property rights. The ad is in no way making reference to your coverage of our activities on social media networks, which is an aspect that we are always keen on further enhancing with you.
We thank you for your interest and we express appreciation for your efforts.
