The silly catch on the McDonald’s free coffee promo
Filed under: Articles, business, contest and promos, customer service, management, Marketing, roysville
There just have to be some catch! And in the case of the McDonald’s free coffee promo, it’s the silly rule that only one coupon is allowed per customer.
Why silly?
Picture this. The McDonald’s crew went to your office and gave away coupons to all employees so they can avail of the free coffee promo – NO PURCHASE NECESSARY!
Neat isn’t it? NOT!
Because the next morning, most staff would give their coupons to the messenger so he can redeem their free coffee, only to come back with just one coffee on hand because he was told that only one coupon is allowed per customer!
So, they expect all the people from the office to troop down to their store, fall in line, just to redeem their free coffee?

Spamming is not marketing
Filed under: Articles, business, customer service, entrepreneur, Entrepreneurship, management, Marketing
It is not even bad or unethical marketing. It is just NOT marketing! Period.
No! I am not talking about spam bots, I am referring to pseudo-entrepreneurs who think that they are being clever when they post their product spiels anywhere.
And these spammers are everywhere – from online forums, in your emails, social media, and even in your mobile phone! You’ll wonder how they got your number when you received a text message offering a vacation house somewhere at the south.

About scrub uniforms
There are a lot of styles now available of scrubs. There used to be a time when nursing scrubs were mere plain, single-colored uniforms worn mostly by backroom operations in the hospitals. Meaning, the support groups — the laboratory personnel, the radio technician, and the like. Those who are on the front line operations of the hospitals are wearing mostly the traditional white uniforms.

Filed under: Articles, business, customer service, feedback & reviews, leadership, management, mobile technology, news, Philippine, Reaction, service
The impending acquisition of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) of Digitel Telecommunications Philippines Inc. have raised concerns on some sectors particularly from one its rival in the telecommunications industry, Globe Telecom Inc. who even asked the government to take a look into the PLDT-Digitel deal.
Globe’s concern is not without merit, as PLDT will be getting 51.55% of Digitel, after which, it would undertake a mandatory offer to minority investors, for a total consideration of P74.1 billion. A deal that would put PLDT in full control of Digitel, and perhaps, as everybody feared, the telecommunications industry in general.

Is it still safe to put your money in the bank?
Filed under: banking, Economy, entrepreneur, feedback & reviews, finance, Money, Philippine, Reaction, roysville
With, yet again, the closure of Banco Filipino Savings and Mortgage Bank last week by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the simplistic mind of Juan Dela Cruz cannot help but ask, “Is it still safe to put your money in the bank?”
True, bank deposits are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. (PDIC) to a MAXIMUM of P500,000 PER depositor. In fact, PDIC is now already processing deposit insurance payments to the depositors of Banco Filipino. But we all know that claiming your money from a closed bank is not a walk in the park.
Investing in pre-need companies have failed us. IT FAILED ME! I wanted to be a responsible father who prepared for his kids’ future, so invested in CAP… and BANG! Just like that. Everything went down the drain. No thanks to our government who seems to do nothing to help alleviate our plight.
