The OFW Phenomenon has led to a different face of the
Filipino families where children are raised by single parents. There are cases
that show this kind of set-up where one works outside of the country a
dysfunctional family is created. Indeed, for spouses left in the country to
take care of their children it is a great challenge to create a good family.
Recognizing the difficult task of maintaining and creating a
good family despite the odds; and the need to show to the growing number of OFW
families that achieving to have a good family is doable “The Search for 8 Outstanding OFW Spouses” was launch.
The Search for 8 Outstanding OFW Spouses will have its soft
launch this May 5 at the Trinoma Activity Center.
The search aims to harness best practices by successful
spouses in running an OFW Family in the following areas: money management and
growing children to become good and productive citizens of the country.
According to Michelle Ballesteros, CEO of EXLINK Corp.,
“these aims will impact the OFW families, most especially OFW spouses, in
learning from each other and feeding from the success of OFW spouses like
them.”
The search penultimate day will be on March 2012 where the
first 8 Outstanding OFW Spouses get to be recognized and given trophies and
other fabulous prizes.
The event is produced and organized by EX-LINK Management
and Marketing Services Corp. in partnership with different OFW organizations.

After the planning, selling and completion of all
ingredients needed to make an event successful, you are pushed in the waiting corner for the actual day of the event ( which starts not on
the first day of the event but the ingress or move-in day).
This is one aspect of the event that is very difficult. Your
emotions are bottled-up. Anxiety and excitement fights inside of you and your
team. Doubts swirl around your head. Did I accomplish all the necessary pre-event
needs to make this event a BIG S! Is there anything I have overlooked that
could spell disaster during the actual event? Are my team equipped? Is there
anything I could do to make this event better before the actual day of the event?
Yes! The waiting game hangs like the sword of Damocles.
Trepidations are a natural occurrence. A caffeine fix could not even do anything
to allay the emotions that you have inside. It is like you are waiting for the
gate of adrenaline rush to open.
The waiting game is one of the crossroads of the event. It
is where you keep in silence while your mind shouts and your heart pumps in a
rhythm that you cannot define.
Tic...tac ...tic...tac
The clock ticks and your awareness are heightened. Funny but
true, I sometimes experience the hairs of my body go up, akin to watching a
horror movie - excitement, anxiety, paranoia, and hubris, a mix of everything.
This is the waiting game – all you can do, which I and
Exlinkers do, is pray that everything will be alright.
***
If you are wondering what I am waiting to happen - blimey!
It is Look and Feel Great Expo. If you have forgotten, it is this April 15-16,
2011 at Market, Market, and Taguig City.

There are a lot of snack foods available for us to nibble and
enjoy. However, majority are considered junk or bad for our body. If
taken excessively, they can even be a cause of our illnesses. But again,
we cannot seem to stop having them because they have been part of our
entertainment and relaxation time; a part of our lifestyle.
The good news is a healthy snack is now made available which looks
after our health and total wellness. Introducing, Solara.
Solara is a baked multigrain snack food
that offers all the goodness of a regular chip without the “junk”. It is
made from 5 whole grains: Oats, Corn, Barley, Brown Rice and Whole Wheat, which
serve as a good source of FIBER that provide auto-detoxification in the
body. Solara is also enhanced with LECITHIN to aid in weight control.
Solara does not contain transfat, MSG and cholesterol, making it a healthy and
guilt-free snacking experience.
Solara is a great snack food that is yummy and healthy. Once you
start munching it, it will leave you wanting for more. It’s a perfect
companion during office breaks, relaxing at home in front of the TV or
unwinding from a stressful day. So go on, keep on munching Solara.
For all of you who wanted to have a bite of Solara, it will be
available at the “Look and Feel Great Expo”, April 15-16,2011 at Market,
Market, Taguig City.

Exhibition is a battlefield. It is a battlefield where companies
battle for ATTENTION -the visitors’ attention. This war mentality will help any
company joining the event to be prepared. As the saying goes, planning is half
the battle won.
Now, how do you win the battle? In my experience there are 5
Collaterals that you must have and that you cannot win the battle without it.
1. Flyers and
Brochures
Flyers and brochures are very important. This is where
visitors read information about your company offerings. This maybe simplistic
but I have seen a lot of companies neglect this basic collateral. Yes, you know
the answer - lost of selling opportunities.
Therefore, never forget to design an attractive brochure or
flyers. It can convert sales in exhibitions.
2. Samplings
There is a study that in food expo those exhibitors that
give free tasting get to sell more as compared to those that do not.
In car expo, those that provide test drives get to convert
sales.
In other products the same hold true that clients/visitors who are given a chance to sample or
experience the products and services get more opportunities to maximize their
investments in exhibitions. You may call this experiential marketing, and yes,
definitely, everybody crave to experience something before they purchase it.
3. Giveaways
Everybody loves free and it is a magnet that never fails to
attract a lot of visitors. So never forget to offer free giveaways. It does not
matter if it is not expensive. The most important thing is your visitors get something
free.
Call this building Goodwill to future and new clients.
4. Calling Card
A mortal sin that is often repeated by those manning your
booth is that they forget to bring their calling cards. Again, this is business
and exhibition is about building trust and relationships – calling cards cover
this ground for you on the initial stage of building trust and relationships.
If you do not have calling cards you lose the chance to be
remembered by your future clients. You ask me why? Of course, there are other booths and
exhibitors out there who is better prepared than you, that is with calling
cards; and even if they did not make any impression they might still have the edge
when potential buyers return to their office and start recollecting what took
place in the event.
5. Lead Information
Sheet
Exhibition and events engagement does not automatically
convert to sales. If this is the case you need to get back at those visitors
who qualified as your target market. A lead information sheet is vital to take
down all necessary information about the buyers and visitors you talk with.
Making a follow-up is one of the sales processes that will
only be successful if you have taken all the important information of those
that you intend to follow-up.
Lead generation is only successful if you have properly
documented those that expressed their interests on your products and services.
This is the 5 collaterals that you cannot be successful without
and this is a guarantee, so take heed and enjoy your exhibition marketing.
