The Covid-19 pandemic has hit us all pretty hard but we are starting to rise up again. The Philippine economy is starting to regain some color. This Christmas, choose to help our local businesses. Buy local and then gift local. Let’s help each other to heal as one.
#GiftLocal: The Gift Local Campaign
For Filipinos, Christmas is all about family traditions, which includes gift-giving. Buying gifts for family members and loved ones is a tradition that we have kept because it adds excitement to the holidays.
And no matter how different this year’s celebrations maybe, the spirit of giving will always be alive in all of us.
Each year, Globe myBusiness supports SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) with the #GiftLocal campaign. The program aims to encourage Filipino consumers to purchase their gifts from local small businesses.
“We have always rallied the Filipino consumers to patronize local establishments and help Filipino SMEs, especially during the holiday season,” said Globe myBusiness Strategy and Marketing Head Maridol Ylanan.
“This year’s Gift Local campaign will serve an even greater purpose, as we feature the products of our SME partners that will delight Filipino customers for their gift-giving celebration.” While the gifts will make the receivers happy, the aim is really to supporting local SMEs bounce back in these challenging times.
E-Bazaar Online Shop
As a part of the annual Gift Local campaign, Globe myBusiness is holding a 3-day E-Bazaar with Lazada. This will happen from November 27 to 29, to coincide with the Black Friday Sale in the US.
The online event will feature Globe myBusiness clients and partner SMEs, such as Bayongciaga, Punta Riviera Resort, Old World Food Enterprise, and Robi & Peach RTW. There will be live selling to be streamed through Laz Live and Globe myBusiness’ Facebook page.
