Small and Medium Enterprises compose a large part of the economy – home-based and community livelihood enterprises are also part of this segment. From delicious food items to beautiful and elegant decorations, it is a no-brainer that these business thrive through the support of the consumers whom its products are reaching out to. The thing is, most of them are not that easily noticed by the mainstream market.

On its 15th year anniversary, Ex-Link Events is reaching out to home-based and community livelihood enterprises to gather and showcase their best products and services at the OFW & SME Business Christmas Expo this December.

Aside from the exhibits, the OFW & SME Christmas Business Expo is poised to be the grandest Christmas gathering for OFWs, Balik-bayans, SMEs and Community Livelihood Enterprises, partnering with various government and private organizations such as the Overseas Workers’ Welfare Administration, the Rotary Community Corps, Congressional Spouses Foundation, Inc., the Department of Trade and Industry, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, Junior Achievement of the Philippines, Inc. and the Rotary Club of Mutya ng Pasig to kick off the yuletide season with a bang with a mix of activities that everyone will enjoy!

The OFW & SME Business Christmas Expo will be held at the Cebu Trade Hall of SM City Cebu on December 2 to 3 (Friday to Sunday) and at the Megatrade Hall 2 of SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City on December 21 to 23 (Wednesday to Friday).

Most of you should know that there are only a few huge businesses - and the rest are micro, small and medium enterprises. MSMEs are the ones that needed to be shown so they can develop more. MSMEs are the ones that are in need of specific audiences as the rest of the crowd has been taken by big businesses. Home-Based and Community Livelihood businesses are part of the MSMEs.

Consider the following: We are now in the holiday season, and people are ready to buy stuff for their loved ones or for themselves, but they have to check in different locations just to get the perfect gift. That is aside the fact that as a business, you want to make them buy your product. How can we connect the two together? Through trade fairs, expositions and the like. Ex-Link Events has been doing this for 15 years in Manila, and it's high time that Cebu experience who we are, what we do and what we advocate for MSMEs, and so we are coming there to gather products and services under one roof!

We are giving a chance to home-based businesses to showcase at the OFW & SME Business Christmas Expo Cebu this December 2 to 4 at the Cebu Trade Hall of SM City Cebu!
