In collaboration with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), 2GO, the Philippines’ leading end-to-end transportation and logistics solutions provider and a subsidiary of SM Group, is fostering an online entrepreneur community in Central Luzon.
The 2GO Getters group was created to connect with small company owners and help them grow by expanding into markets outside of their own neighborhoods. This community fosters information transfer in critical areas like e-commerce and digital marketing, with the goal of maximizing sales potential even for enterprises located in specific cities across the country. As an inclusive community, it provides growth-oriented workshops, seminars, online promotional campaigns, special promotions, and networking possibilities. Constant engagement with subject matter experts, such as TikTok Shop, is prioritized during workshops to guarantee that businesses thrive in a highly competitive market.
According to Frederic DyBuncio, President and CEO of 2GO, “Our dedication to boosting the local MSME sector is more than simply business; it’s about fueling ambitions, making connections, and eventually creating a better life. By backing domestic businesses, we are investing in innovation, creating opportunities, and establishing the groundwork for equitable and sustainable economic growth that benefits local communities and, hopefully, the country as a whole.”
Attendees had the opportunity to participate in and learn about the tips and tricks of building an online presence, efficient online merchandising, and understanding the critical role of the shipping and delivery experience, which was organized in collaboration with Central Luzon’s DTI. This complete method takes into account both the seller’s and the customer’s views, improving the total online transaction process and increasing consumer loyalty.
“Attending courses like these is essential for business owners, particularly micro and small businesses. The training provides ongoing coaching and keeps them current on the newest trends and approaches for effective product advertising. Partnering with a reputable logistics solutions provider is also critical, as it helps ensure secure and dependable product delivery for smooth expansion and the establishment of a solid business foundation,” stated Division Chief Warren Patrick T. Serrano of the Department of Trade and Industry Philippines, Region III.
Participants in the event included personnel from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), as well as beneficiaries who were keen to learn about business growth and improve their abilities as internet entrepreneurs.
