Globe Business to boost online sales of businesses through Saludo SMEs Digistore

With more shoppers increasingly drawn to the digital sphere for the speed, convenience, and vastness of options it offers, businesses are starting to ride the live-streaming wave to let their brands tap into the bigger pool of customers online and engage them more intimately beyond the brick-and-mortar stores. 

To provide a more accessible platform for micro, small, and medium businesses to sell more, Globe Business is giving local MSMEs an opportunity to adapt to the popular retail trend and bring their products to where customers are shopping now through its Digistore, which will stage another live shopping event as a sequel to the successful pilot last year.  

Broadcast live through Globe Business’ Facebook page on July 9 at 7 p.m., the live selling event is one of several activities lined up to mark this year’s Saludo SMEs, an annual initiative by Globe’s enterprise arm to support and recognize the efforts and contribution of Filipino entrepreneurs to achieve sustainable economic development. 

Now in its third year, the Globe Business campaign carries an apt message: “Through the Changing Times, Tuloy Tayo!” to inspire MSMEs to confidently focus on the future and to keep moving forward. 

“We bring you once again this live shopping event to help small businesses tap into new channels that will bring their brand online and make a deeper connection with more customers. And on the other hand, offer a seamless and more enjoyable buying experience for shoppers,” said Gaile Guevarra, Brand, Integration, and Communications Head of Globe Business MSME Group

“As a staunch advocate of empowering every business to own their success, we remain true to our commitment to provide MSMEs with platforms and opportunities to grow and thrive in the changing times,” she added. 

The Saludo SMEs Digistore Live Selling Event will showcase a wide array of selected products—from brewed coffee and teas to organic baby products, salsas, and hot sauces with a twist to curated furniture—by Globe Business clients and merchants from partner organizations such as the Anvil Business Club, DTI Negosyo Center, Entrepreneur’s Organization, and Let’s Eat Pare. 

Shoppers participating in the live stream event stand to get exclusive promos and discounts from the featured SMEs and can expect convenient and safe transactions as all participating businesses have GCash accounts. 

For those looking to add a personal touch to their online shopping experience and at the same time give local businesses a boost, here are some of the merchants joining the event and their respective products that can be purchased with real-time chat and a few clicks of a button.
