The UREKA E-Commerce Forum in Mega Manila

Micro/Small/Medium Enterprises got a little cultural treat and a HUGE help as they opened the UREKA E-Commerce Forum in Mega Manila. At the SM Megamall's Megatrade Hall, they got MSME's to put up their own businesses online so they could grow their businesses together with Air21, AMTI their software partner, Dragonpay to support payments, Shopinas, Esquire Financing, Geiser, PLDT, and more champions like Facebook Asia Pacific, Microsoft Philippines, Taxumo, which all or in part would help their quest to sustained and inclusive growth in UREKA. It's a great equalizer and Ubion Bank knows how important this is so their customers achieve their dreams and their communities. It's an untapped market, (E Commerce) and it's a great equalizer. This means you'll get a 24/7 shop open, makes you earn while you sleep.

Unionbank CEO Justo Ortiz suggests there are tons of opportunities on the internet and people can earn more in e-commerce so you get more customers, some of which can get you big profit while in the comfort of your homes and offices. He adds "There are a lot out there, some of them don't know you, and are waiting to see what you have to sell. This is UREKA forum, and they want you to have the tools how to make this platform work for you. We have gone to Iloilo, Davao, Baguio, and now with the Mega Manila leg, they want business here to improve and start making bold steps and calculated risks. You are an integral part of the economy and this is just a start."

If you are around SM Megamall, make sure you drop by the SM Megatrade Hall to get your businesses started or improved with the services they have during the forum and even beyond the event. It's going to connect you to the best institutions to also lend you money, the government and these businesses are already there and all you have to do is work hard and show up!

Technology Infrastructure and its Benefits

The Internet has been a mighty tool for economies and marketing strategists alike. People purchase things on line and the convenience you can get from all of these things is phenomenal. Some institutions can even deliver purchased products to your doorstep for free. The value of internet marketing and its benefits has outweighs the problem this medium has brought about in the industry. Harnessing its power is essential so we as a country would be able to perform well in a globalized economy.

The Philippines has a lot to offer; and if we do not try and cope up with the technology standards of our neighbors in South East Asia... there will be a vacuum for raw talented people. Our economy will remain stagnant due to poor network infrastructure and we would not be able to hit out economic goals no matter how much we want to compete with other countries. I would like to have my badge of honor set in keeping a safe but constant GDP growth and have that felt by the people I love in the Philippines. It's the perfect prerogative any leader should have. Now that we have elected a president who promises a better path to economic stability; I wish he takes the time to listen and heed the call for better infrastructure as we face globalization head on! Who's with me on this plan?! Let's go!

The FACEBOOK Learning Experience

I am so addicted to FACEBOOK that I literally keep my laptop open the whole day so I would not miss anyone updating their profiles, posting events, games and everything in between. I have been a fan of a couple of groups too which interest me. I did not know it was possible but I learned a thing or two about FACEBOOK; it is also one of the best marketing tools you can ever find. Even the ones running for the presidency have their own accounts and committed to informing everyone everyday about where they are and what they are doing. It definitely does have a target audience because most users are adults. There are those fan pages where you get to learn a lot from too like Invesp. At least I get to see some industry leaders who know how to grow ECOMMERCE markets even at a time when markets are crashing down. One thing I never noticed before I joined the social network is that I get to learn new things from other people. It was definitely not in the instructions but being the small pawn in projects that I am, I like the thought of getting ideas and short nibbled information on management. I plan to work on this subject when I take my masters in June. Thank you for the learning experience FACEBOOK!
