Globe sets new standard in retail as it opens its Generation 3 flagship stores simultaneously in Manila and Cagayan de Oro

Setting a new global standard in retail experience, Globe Telecom unveiled today its Generation 3 Stores simultaneously in SM North EDSA, Quezon City, Manila and in Limketkai Mall, Cagayan de Oro.

The Globe Gen3 stores will further engage and delight customers by fueling their passion in the areas of music, entertainment, productivity, and life. With the opening of the GEN3 Stores, Globe has topped some of the iconic stores in the US and around the world.

 “Globe is proud to bring to Filipino consumers another world-standard differentiated experience. Our passion for our customers inspires us to end the year on a high note by bringing innovation a notch higher in our stores, one of our key customer touch points, allowing us to truly empower our customers' digital lifestyles,” said Ernest Cu, Globe President and CEO. 

The Globe GEN3 stores are home to various lifestyle zones with stories and exciting features for customers to experience and enjoy. These zones feature latest trends in product, people and even in business. Various lifestyle vignettes illustrate mobile and broadband technologies as connected solutions—featuring the latest devices, apps, digital connectors gadgets and services that contribute to the total interactive customer experience.

The lifestyle zones will also highlight the stories of brand ambassadors every quarter. The store is a platform for the introduction of must-watch personalities who are blazing new trails in their respective Art, Community and Technology spaces. For the first quarter of 2015, with Music as the main theme, Globe GEN3 will feature four of the coolest DJs of this generation: DJ Badkiss, Callum David, Mars Miranda, and Eric Capilli - who all have inspiring success stories in their chosen career. In the coming months, it will also feature the aspiring story of JR Dela Paz, a Globe myBusiness ambassador and owner of fast-rising restaurant chain Size Matters.

The Globe GEN3 Store will also serve as a venue to introduce the latest products, devices, and services offered by Globe. To start, it is the first retailer in Asia to introduce and carry Google Cardboard, the fold-your-own virtual reality headset. Consumers can definitely expect more exciting products rolling out in the next quarters. 

Apart from reconfigured store displays, customers can also check out the Play Bar to explore the different featured apps and sit through one-on-one service consultations. Self-service tools are available that allow better interaction with customer representatives through a video hotline.

“Exciting, unexpected, and experiential are the words to describe our GEN3 Stores. The concept and design of the GEN3 Stores have undergone intense research and consultation with the world’s top-notch designers and architecture experts. We are inviting customers to explore and be inspired by the stores’ four zones—music, entertainment, productivity, and life so they can fully enjoy a wonderful world,” said Joe Caliro, Globe Head of Retail Transformation and Management.

The Globe GEN3 Stores are designed by Tim Kobe, founder and CEO of Eight, Inc. His most famous work is the Apple Store in New York. On his design plan for GEN3, Tim Kobe shared, “The space is dynamic. It changes with new stories and experiences that support different events and moments. We have elements that move and reconfigure, the way entertainment venues support great concerts or shows.”

Tim Kobe also shared the importance of functionality in the Globe GEN3 Stores, saying “Retail is one touch point where brands build relationships and sell products and services. It is important today to have a place to demonstrate what you stand for. More than 50% of the reason why someone engages with a brand comes from word of mouth. Interestingly, 80% of word of mouth comes from direct experience. Designing the experience is critical to building brand advocates.”

Leading up to the launch of the GEN3 Stores, Globe collaborated with homegrown Philippine artists who took part in one of the telco’s biggest transformation projects to better serve its customers. Led by multi-awarded artist Ross Capili, the artists turned their design inspirations into live art galleries, showcasing murals exhibiting Globe’s brilliant vision, complementing the look, feel, and experience of its GEN3 Stores.

By 2015, Globe is set to convert more of its existing stores into GEN3 Stores to bring the world-class telco retail experience to more Filipinos.

Super Weekend with Superbikes of ATAT Racing Team!

This will be my first time of seeing a Superbike race in live action and boy I can really say that even if you're not in the race, you can feel the intensity is really super! I tried standing next to the race track and here's how it looks like:

Even if you're just sitting somewhere near the track or on the 3rd floor of the watch pods in Clark International Speedway adrenaline will sure be pumping and will drive you nuts at some point especially if you have someone in the racetrack to cheer for, in my case it will be the ATAT Racing Team for the Superbike category. Why? Well..who wouldn't? Since this is my first time to watch something like this which made me a fan instantly by the way, allow me to show some of the pictures.

Superbike Racing Team "ART" (ATAT Racing Team)

Superbike Racing is known as a foreign sport for the adrenaline junky, with speeds reaching up to 300kph on straights and corners with very sharp turns. In a more technical sense, it is a category of motorcycle racing wherein tuned versions of motorbikes available for sale to the public are used for competitive racing in the tracks.

Not known to many of Filipinos, Philippines actually has a growing and thriving superbike racing community. Races have been hosted regularly in our top racing circuits in Batangas and Clark, Pampanga. Teams have also been formed representing the top motorbike manufacturers such as Aprilia and Ducati. The Philippine Superbike Championship has produced the biggest grid of Superbikes in the Philippine Motor Racing history and will the series will end this weekend at Clark International Speedway October 4 and 5.

One of the teams that have been gaining popularity in the superbike racing scene is the ATAT Racing Team. The ATAT Racing Team "ART" is an affiliate of Any Time All the Time (ATAT) Motorcycle Club. This motorcycle club is the only all-Italian Superbike Club in the Philippines. This highly exclusive, by-invite-only group is comprised of 24 CEOs, business owners, and top executives. The spirit of the group lies in their common passion for motorcycle riding on the road and on the track, and in their advocacy for motorsport safety.

FREE Facebook na raw ulit sabi ng Globe!

Ayan, tingnan mo nga naman ang pagkakataon. Look what MVP did to the competition.

This is what I can say one of the best things in competition pero ano naman ang mga nasasabi ng ating mga kababayan tungkol dito.

Yes may mga positive at negative na mga reactions ang mga customers ng kanya kanyang network. May mga Manang Bola at Nostradamus din sa kanila na hunuhulaan na ang mga panggagari. At siyempre kayo din na nakakabasa nito ay may sarili ring palagay sa Big Announcements ng mga higanteng kumpanyang ito. Kung maganda man para sa inyo oh hindi ito ay pwede namang ipahatid ito sa kanila lalo na ngayon na mas maganda na ang ating technology kumpara dati na monopoly pa ang telephone service at wala pang internet. So I guess what my point for now is to make use of it. Kase, sino ba naman ang ayaw ng libre lalo na kung tungkol sa data connection natin nowadays na kung saan mas lalong naging mobile na ito dahil kaya na natin magkaroon ng communication sa ating mga mahal sa buhay, mamahalin pa lang o dating minahal sa pamamagitan ng mga smart phones na mas marami na rin ang may access at mas nagiging affordable na rin. Kaya minsan, maganda rin ang naidudulot ng competition para sa ating mga consumer. In the future, sana mas madami pang dumating.
