Globe Telecom further strengthens its support for Filipino entrepreneurs and sari-sari store owners in the country by being a major participant in Puregold Price Club’s 12th Tindahan ni Aling Puring (TNAP) Sari-Sari Store Convention on May 20-24, 2015 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
Globe has been a consistent supporter of the annual gathering of sari-sari store owners over the last six years, offering members exclusive services and offers that drove the growth of their respective enterprises.
With the theme “Unlimited: Unli and Saya, Unli ang Ligaya!”, the convention features around 150 booths from trade partners which offer different promos, big discounts, freebies, sampling, giveaways and exciting raffle prizes to all Puregold valued members and customers, VIPs, and guests. Aside from shopping, TNAP members can also attend various business-related seminars.
“The partnership between Globe and Puregold remained strong since 2010 and we want to continue this through exciting exclusive offers which will be beneficial to both our customers. Like Puregold, Globe wants to help small entrepreneurs make the most out of their businesses and we are looking forward to a stronger alliance with Puregold in the years to come,” said Bernie Llamzon, Globe Executive Vice President for Consumer Sales.
During the five-day event, Globe will set up several booths to showcase its latest products and services. Highlights include GCash MasterCard, a reloadable prepaid card linked to a GCash account that can be used to purchase goods at the convention instead of carrying loads of cash; and Globe Charge, an important business tool that accepts MasterCard & Visa payments via smartphones or tablets, thereby, avoiding the hassle of applying for a credit card terminal from the bank.
In 2010, Globe launched the Aling Puring Super Suki SIM, a special multi-function SIM card exclusively available for Aling Puring members that enables them to receive text blast announcements and promos under special call and text rates. With the SIM cards, they are also able to sell prepaid load as additional source of income.
A year later, Globe and Puregold forged an innovative partnership for an easy and convenient reload channel that enable Globe and TM subscribers to buy prepaid load from any Puregold checkout counter via its point-of-sale (POS) technology.
This a good partnership between Globe and PureGold. I have total respect for business owners. This is wonderful collaboration.
This is great..wouldn’t it be nice when the day comes that you can use you credit/debit card to purchase from SAri-Sari store. Talk about cashless transactions.
I love the idea that Globe is supporting small businesses and empower their way of living. With Globe and Gcash, you can never go wrong.
It’s nice to see that Globe is reaching out to small business owner by coming out with a sim that would be perfect for their needs.
I would like to experience Globe Charge first hand. I hope they’ll have a nationwide tour in different provinces.
This is a good move for Globe. Great job!
The Globe charge looks so interesting. I hope more establishment will use this
I’m not familiar with this organization but i think their initiative to support Filipino entrepreneurs is definitely something noble.
It seems that Globe is taking more action compared to the other network. It’s already June, does it mean that the convention is already finished?
It’s really nice when two great companies work together to make our life easier and better 🙂
Really, companies in the Philippines must know how to merge in marketing and advertising. Globe has a lot to offer in gaining the number 1 network.
Being an online seller, I’ve used Gcash and it’s so convenient! I’ve been meaning to try the Globe Charge. These tools from Globe would be really helpful for merchants however, how I wish they could lower their service fees.
I am happy that Globe is supporting micro entrepreneurs. Hope this could really help augment the income of these sari-sari stores.
This is a good project for Globe in helping those small entrepreneurs like Sari-sari stores. Hope it’s nationwide covered.
This is what I love about Globe, they help small businesses. 🙂
It’s great that they are utilizing from the grassroots level so that communities can benefit from big telcos 🙂
WOW! I didn’t know Globe and Puregold are partners! Kudos to them for doing this to support small businesses.
I admire Globe for supporting small businesses because of this they have all my support as well.
