The ongoing pandemic has affected Filipinos in so many ways. A lot of professionals lost their jobs and some businesses have been forced to close shop. To make ends meet, more Pinoys have been starting small businesses.
Amid the plethora of enterprising concepts, food has emerged as the most popular type of business. To help aspiring foodpreneurs kickstart their entrepreneurial journey, Globe has partnered with TikTok and GCash to educate Filipinos on basic digital tools and knowledge for online business success.
As part of its #GlobeTikTokFood campaign, Globe recently hosted a master class on Digital-First Businesses, which aired exclusively on TikTok Live. In the live stream event, viewers got to learn from prominent figures of the food industry, including Steffi Santana, co-founder and head of marketing of Lola Nena’s, Francesca Gacrama-Herring, Founder of The Daily Knead, and Frances Caluya, Industry Marketing Manager for Globe Business. These ladies shared how they were able to turn their passion into profit through the power of social media and other digital tools.
“We’ve been able to tap younger audiences by creating compelling content that appeals to their taste,” Steffi said. She also talked about how it took them 8 years to get on the internet and how Globe At Home Prepaid WiFi helped them jumpstart their online journey in a snap.
Francesca also relies heavily on GCash and her Globe Postpaid plan, her “lifesavers” that keep her and her business connected to their community. “Running a family business can be challenging, but with the right digital tools, you can make the experience more manageable,” Gacrama-Herring of The Daily Knead discussed.
Frances, on the other hand, shared the latest trends in the food industry as well as digital tools that new and established foodpreneurs can use to enhance their customer experience, saying that “there are also a lot of digital tools such as Amber, a text blast solution, and GCash that can take their business to the next level”.
