WHAT AN ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS…
Yeah !
I thanked the Lord for giving me a chance to spend my christmas in a different way…I had this fabulous E.K.’S CHRISTMAS BAZAARFEST project last Dec. 20 to Jan. 6 at Enchanted Kingdom, and truly many great things happened to me with that project…the Magic is really there at Enchanted Kingdom!
From its marketing period, I enjoyed our saturation drive at the World Trade Center and mall establishments in Glorietta, Tiendesitas, Greenbelt, Festival and Alabang Town Center..Now that I have all their calling cards and contact numbers it would be easy for me now to make follow-up calls and appointments with them everytime I would have a bazaar project. I met great people at Worldtrade like at the Skyline Cafe staff on its 2nd Flr… made friends with my exhibitors and their families, able to have a regular dining and stay in great hotels in Manila with Manila Bay view like at Bay View and Aloha hotel….and have fun making nightouts and disco there after a hard day work…hehehe
And during the bazaar itself, we’ve experience so many adventures there in and outside the park…We had so much fun making good sales with our products…imagine my exhibitors like Tita Lynn’s Flavored Suman and Dairymoor coffee were selling about P20T to 30T a day…and branded imported/export overrun clothes sale’s were having an average of P50T to P70T a day…it was even featured on ABS -CBN News with Joey Villarama…so it became more talked of the town…isn’t that great!
After me seeing the sales of my exhibitors, I was motivated to sell Liliw slippers also…and I can’t believe in the fast moving of the product–it sells like a hotcake there at 3 for 180, hehe…So needed to go back and forth to liliw just to get stocks again every two days….it was so fun, I felt like I was just making “Bahay-bahayan while selling those cutely crafted slippers in our real estate booth,hehe..it was a different experience for me..I was never been a retailer in my life ’cause i find it as a boring business before, but after seeing how the crowd in E.K. patronage my item—I was so encourage to later pursue this kind of business too with garments–maybe I’ll put up a my very own boutique soon–VICTORIA’S COLLECTION , hehehe
One thing that I will surely miss there also is our bonding and gimmick moments at Paseo de Sta. Rosa after E.K. closing with my exhibitors like Buboy, Pat, Glez, Tita Celeste, Shine, Momy Tess and his cute kids, Riza, Dairymoor people, etc and E.K. staff and executives like Sir Richard Burgos ( Head Mktg. of E.K. ), Ms. Jo and Vince of entertainment department….and I’m sure the people from the Merchandise Dept. like Sir Mark - the only hearthrob inside E.K. hehehe, Ms. Vivian and Sir Arnel would missed all the headaches we have given them that time—hahahaha…they will surely missed making Police in our bazaar, hehe, but honestly they are all fun alaskador people too like the Engineering Dept there who keeps calling me Ms. Aimee ( Marcos…hahaha )….we have so much fun together during the bazaar season …I also thanked Sir Mamon ( owner of E.K ) and Ma’am Babic Faustino for giving me this privilege to organize their biggest ever Xmas Bazaar at Enchanted….meeting new friends and business partners like them is really a very inspiring and exciting experience.
After doing this bazaar,…. after all those headaches I’ve been through in our first days…everything turned out to become a big blessing for all of us later, hehe…and because all of my exhibitors were so happy about the sales, they really made a commitment to me that they will join my next bazaars anywhere and would even invite more friends to join too…So now are going to book the whole year of peak dates at E.K. ( the whole month of April and December )…and if things got even better, we can just extend to more months soon..Now, many of my exhibtors are willing to finance me on my next projects after they have seen my hardwork and dedication in making event a successfull one, and we are all planning to conquer other venues where most people are such as Mall of Asia, Robinsons Malls, Splash Island Marikina Riverside and even Boracay soon….all of this in a one year series of events–that’s my assigment to them now….hehe.
It was like a domino effect, after all of my birthpains and challenges in pursuing this big project…everything turned out to be a blessing in diguised..it opened more doors of opportunities for me and I met so many great people who’s willing to support me all the way in fullfulling my dream projects.
Truly when you want to pursue great things, great trials and challenges are also at stake…but once you learned to handle all those things well and have a full faith and determination…everything will work our for good for you by God’s Grace….he will truly give the desires of our heart once we obey him and do our part as well…
All things are really possible for those who believe!
….and I really thanked the Lord for this wonderful experiences and blessings!
