Footwear exec relies on Sun Cellular international roaming
MANILA, Philippines - Helton Tan’s footwear business requires him to go abroad frequently. International trips are crucial to the success of the world-famous Crocs line, which has been aggressively pursuing its operations, as evidenced by the brand’s continuous expansion and high-impact marketing campaigns. Helton is the business development head of Next Project, Inc. (NPI), the authorized distributor of Crocs in the country. His travels take him to Hong Kong and Singapore, where the regional offices of Crocs are located. “I have also been going to Macau, Thailand, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and USA,” he says. “And I try to have a good mix of R&R during those trips.”
This means being away from the office for many days and entrusting daily tasks to his management team and staff. To “keep the house in order” and keep the productive workflow within the business organization going, Helton needs a reliable communication partner and he found that Sun was the one he could trust.
His Sun Cellular mobile phone is a must in all his trips abroad, as is Sun’s International Roaming Service. “I can easily get connected to the office, especially for urgent decisions.” It also enables him to keep in touch with his family and friends.
Sun offers international roaming at affordable rates with more than 300 partner operators worldwide. Since he became a Sun Cellular postpaid subscriber in 2005, Helton has always trusted the network when it comes to dependable overseas connectivity. He says he not only gets clear incoming and outgoing communication using his Sun mobile phone, but cost-efficient service as well. “Sun Cellular easily connects to the local service provider in the countries I visit. Roaming is a breeze and the rates are very competitive,” he says.
Helton and his employees at Crocs enjoy the benefits of being under the Sun, whether here or abroad. “We have equipped all our Crocs outlets and our office staff and warehouse personnel with Sun Cellular lines,” Helton says. “Because of this, we have increased connectivity and productivity in our operations. And now that we have Footzyrolls (foldable, roll-able street shoes for women on the go) in our brand portfolio, we know how helpful it is to subscribe to Sun Cellular.”
Helton has been a Sun user for almost six years now. “We initiated a partnership between Sun Cellular and JCI Manila where I was then serving as a director,” he recalls. JCI Manila is the oldest leadership development organization in the Philippines and Asia that aims to properly channel the energies and idealism of the Filipino youth into an organization that will benefit the community. “Most, if not all, of my business associates and friends in the organization have Sun Cellular lines. We all stay connected to our businesses and families in the Philippines through Sun when we travel abroad.”
