Honestbee Creates Buzz Down South
Online shopping has been increasingly popular among Filipino consumers for quite some time. Significant factors in this phenomenon include the convenience and accessibility it offers. However, when it comes to grocery shopping, it seems that people are still tied to making trips to conventional grocery stores or local markets. This is where honestbee becomes handy.
While honestbee describes itself as an “online concierge and delivery service”, it is essentially an app/website that allows customers to buy grocery items and have it delivered straight to their doorstep. What makes it great is the easy and reliable shopping experience it provides to its users. Their concierge shoppers also hand picks the best products so users are sure of the quality of goods.
honestbee has been available to Metro Manila customers and they have recently expanded operations to South Luzon areas. To promote these expansions, in-store activations are ongoing throughout this month in Robinsons supermarkets in the south executed by the Forthinker team.
The activations are set in motion to increase awareness about the honestbee app and let consumers know that they can get their grocery essentials hassle-free and enjoy same-day delivery. The elements include a giant honestbee bag for a booth attended by promodisers who introduced the app to shoppers and gave them flyers with promo codes.
These activations were held in Lipa, General Trias, Dasmariñas, Imus, Nuvali, Tagaytay, and Southwoods to a success. Through the assistance of the promodisers, only a few found it difficult to understand the app. Plenty of the shoppers also showed enthusiasm about the convenience of the service.
Find the honestbee app on the App Store or Google Play or go to their website at honestbee.ph
BONUS: If you live in any of the areas mentioned above, you can use these promo codes to take P500 off of your purchase (minimum of P1000 spending): LIPA500, GENTRIAS500, DASMARINAS500, IMUS500, NUVALI500, TAGAYTAY500, and SOUTHWOODS500. These promo codes are usable only once and until June 2018.

10 Things You Should Know About Public Relations
If you’re not working in the PR industry, you would most probably think that it’s an easy job that only requires establishment of good relationships with other people. Yes, that may be true, but there are things that you can only understand when you fill in the shoes of PR specialists. Once you try walking in them, no sooner you’d say to yourself ‘This place is quite challenging and fun’. To give you a little glimpse of this rollercoaster industry, we list down 10 things you should know about public relations.
1. Public Relations is different from Advertising
PR and Advertising are usually perceived as the same thing as they both promote a positive image for a brand. However, THEY’RE NOT. Advertising produces paid announcements for a certain brand and it uses TV, print and radio. On the other hand, Public Relations is a strategic communication plan to build a mutual relationship between an organization and the public.
2. Do not be literal on the word ‘public’.
It’s obvious that Public Relations is a profession that deals with the public. However, not all PR campaigns are meant to cater all people. A communication plan is executed based on the demographics of the target market. In short, ‘public’ in the term public relations refers to a group.
3. Great professions come with great public relations
Working in the PR industry enables one to find good things even in the worst scenarios. Unexpected situations that can spawn bad impressions towards a company or a professional are hard to prevent. With that, Public Relations is there to provide protection to their reputations.
4. PR people are great persuaders
Working as a Public Relations officer requires a concise and straight-to-the-point skill in handing out information. They are known for possessing that skill because they are able to persuade a group of people without the use of long messages and sugar-coated words.
5. Being unique is the key to shine in the industry
Just like any product, one should have a unique branding. The way the job is done and the way the clients are satisfied say a lot about one’s authenticity as a Public Relations officer. Working in this industry for several months is good, -but establishing one’s name for many years is something better.
6. Public Relations strengthens one’s networks
Public Relations is the job that develops harmonious relationship with people from different walks of life. As time goes by, one will cross paths with clients who will soon become friends. As one decides to take bigger career steps in the future, he or she will find a support system in them.
7. The perks of working in the PR industry are endless
On a happy note, working as a PR officer enables one to try products and experience services before other people. These are given for free, in exchange of the camaraderie that one can develop with clients because of how they are satisfied with the services.
8. Time management is the first thing to learn
First things first, Public Relations demands a hectic schedule. ‘Filipino time’ is not tolerated in this job. With that said, make sure to practice time management. Time is indeed precious for both clients and PR officer, so best to respect it.
9. Public Relations never stops evolving
Unlike any other job, Public Relations adapts to different generations. It started out as an exercise of public speaking thousand years ago. With the development of technology over the years, Public Relations is now being done on social media. PR never stops embracing changes, and so as many aspiring PR officer.
10. Every step in the PR industry is very exciting
As mentioned, the PR industry is not fixed nor is it a routinary job. Every step of the way is a surprise. Most of the time, it’s challenging because of tight deadlines and difficult strategies in capturing the sweet yes of clients. What makes this journey fun are the ups and downs, so one must always remember the good points and qualities he or she possess.

10 Factors You Must Consider for an Events Place
Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries—these are some of the much-awaited celebrations in our lives. Detailed planning and preparations are done for several months before the big day to ensure a smooth-sailing and memorable event. On top of the preparations is locking in the perfect events place. Finding a perfect venue for the occasion is quite hard and stressful. To make it easier, here are 10 factors you must consider for an events place.
1. The Accessibility of the Place
Attendees are more likely to express their concern about how much travel time it will take or how easy it is to locate. People close to your heart do not want to miss your big day, and so do you. That’s why it is better that the venue is accessible. Also, landmarks and other establishments can help your guests locate the place easier.

2. The Capacity of the Venue
Whether it is a small or big event, it is important that the capacity is enough to accommodate all your guests. You don’t want them to feel annoyed or uncomfortable because they can’t move the way they want to. Moreover, allot an extra space to assure that games and other activities can be executed well.

3. The Budget Allotted for the Event
We can say that budget is the biggest consideration for an events place. This is where the venue exactly depends on and what you pay is what you get. To put it simply, expect to spend more if you want to celebrate in a more glamorous location.

4. Security of the Place
No one wants to leave a party with their belongings missing or stolen. However, unfortunate scenarios happen unexpectedly and the least you can do is to become prepared. Prioritize security cameras, emergency exits, and fire extinguishers for you and your guests’ safety.

5. Amenities and Facilities
Consider an events place that has an accessible and clean comfort room because in most situations, this is the first facility that most guests are looking for. Playground for kids, garden for photo opportunities, an elevator, or swimming pools are some of the amenities that make an events place more ideal.

6. Parking Area
If the events place can accommodate the number of attendees, make sure that they have ample parking area as well.

7. Availability of the Place
Booking for a venue must be at least 3 months before the event. For other people, it’s too early but it is standard. It enables you to assure that your preferred events place is available on your schedule. If not, at least you still have an ample time to look for other options.

8. Rules and Regulations
Aside from security features, it is also an additional point if the events place is strict on implementing rules and regulations. It simply means that they take responsibility and accountability for your event. They should provide you with guidelines and protocols to make sure that any situation will be handled accordingly.

9. Decorations and Ambience
Decorations undoubtedly give the perfect aesthetic look to the place, which is ideal for picture takings and more. Decorations meant only for the celebrants make it even more special and unforgettable. However, some of it can get very exaggerated and space-consuming, so be sure to avoid that! Always consider appropriateness and taste when choosing decorations.

10. Reviews and Feedbacks of the Venue
Regardless if it’s your dream location or not, you still have to do a lot of research about it. It’s better to know about what other people have experienced during their event as well as its past issues or downsides (if there are).
