February 2016 marks the Ninth Anniversary of FACES, your monthly lifestyle magazine from the stables of Times of Oman.
For NINE long years, it has been a significant part of your (and your family’s) life, creating interactive platforms to explore the joys of reading and open the vistas of fashion and style. It has remained your virtual shopping partner, your lifestyle guide and your monthly dose of fun and entertainment; it promises to continue delivering all that and more, as every month ushers with it an element of creative vibrancy, which has set FACES apart.
As we go on a festive mode to ring in a brand new year with this special Ninth Anniversary issue, we take a bow to felicitate you – our readers and patrons, who have stood by us all these years to make every month and every year count. You have been our inspiration and our staunch supporter, helping us pave the path to success with every new issue.
And, as is customary at FACES quarters, this Anniversary issue commits itself to further the cause of the moment, by shifting its focus from everyday topics to a more serious focus on SMEs in Oman. The cover story is dedicated to the growing culture of SMEs in the country, which are seen as key contributors to economic growth as well as major sources of job creation. With the country going through a major shift in its economic agenda, SMEs are expected to share the mantle with innovative ventures.
Pegged on to this special issue is the FACES Ninth Anniversary contest, which was initiated earlier this month on the FACES Facebook page for its subscribers. The spotlight here is on the bumper prize, with every reader standing a chance to win it.
Come along and be a part of this special Ninth Anniversary issue!
