CEBU, Philippines - The social media has since become a partner of trade and commerce. It enables more and more people to find great deals and bargains, easily and conveniently. Businesses benefit too; word about best buys quickly gets around.
The Outlets, the factory outlet mall at Pueblo Verde along M. Patalinghug Jr. Avenue, MEZ II, Lapu-Lapu City, is a good case to cite. When it opened its doors to shoppers, it reshaped the concept of outlet shopping, with shoppers sharing with friends and family their experience at the store – online! Enthusiastic shoppers tag @TheOutletsAtPV in their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram posts.
Angie (@jag0222) and her husband, both in the finance industry, first heard about The Outlets on the radio. They then checked the place out to see if it had indeed the promised #greatdeals and #greatfinds. They weren’t disappointed. Angie bought her husband a pair of Nike shorts, Converse shirts, and a pair of chucks.
Glenn (@5.8gln) went to The Outlets through the urging of his friends. Initially, he only wanted to get new Giordano dress shirts for work. But as he accompanied his friends at the other shops, he ended up with a new gym T-shirt from Adidas and a cardigan from Timberland. He and his friends left The Outlets happy with the purchases that were mostly unplanned.
PJ (@iampaolo), a human resource manager at a call-center company, is not new to outlet shopping. He has shopped at outlet malls abroad and is always on the lookout for better deals from trusted brands. He’s a frequent shopper at The Outlets, finding great deals from Levi’s and Oakley especially. All the more as Planet Sports and Fashion Rack Designer Outlet, which carries over 16 brands, have just opened.
Puma is joining The Outlets roster of shops soon. Reef, the Peso Store, and Bambu Outlet store are offering discounts all year round. Indeed #GreatFinds and #GreatDeals await everyone at The Outlets. More details are available on their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TheOutletsAtPV.
