E-commerce Entrepreneurs Summit 2017

I have been invited by BlogAdia to join the E-Commerce Summit held here in Davao City.  And this is what I have learned regarding E-Commerce.

So what is E-commerce? E-commerce is basically just like regular commerce but on a different setting.  E-commerce stands for electronic commerce which means you are doing business online through the internet, just like when purchasing products and services using the internet.  Doing business online makes it easier for sellers to showcase their products without the need to bring all their merchandise to a location, as for the buyer using e-commerce to search for products and services makes it easier to search and purchase the things or services you need.

Here are some of our speakers who shared and educated us on e-commerce and the benefits of it.

After spending a whole day listening about E-commerce, I have learned a lot about how commerce has evolved from the traditional method to the digital method. It is really important for us as entrepreneurs to adapt to the changing times, to be able to maintain our customers and stay competitive.  Nowadays traditional methods are simply not that effective like it used to, millenials (how they like to call themselves) now are more focused online than ever.  Traditional advertising still works but to be able to reach the younger generations or the millenials, we as entrepreneurs should also adapt to the online advertising since it is cheaper and could reach a larger group of potential customers.

Iflix : Great alternative for Cable TV?


We grew up without cable tv (not because we can't afford it) but because our mom would always tell us that it would only distract us from doing our homework. So we got used to just local tv shows.

Ever since Iflix was introduced to the market, I immediately signed up and tried it out.  At first I was still skeptical since it was still new to me, but after a week of using it I immediately got fond of iflix. For those who are not yet familiar, Iflix offers streaming TV and Movie shows with a minimal fee (don't be too stingy or be a freeloader guys).

What I love about Iflix is that you could download movies or tv shows and watch it offline. So if you are going on a trip or somewhere that has no internet, then this would not be a problem. Like when I helped in our farm for a week, iflix really kept me entertained.

Iflix

Iflix has a lot of arrays of Tv Shows and Movies to choose from, you could search it through their search tab. Iflix allows you to choose which genre you wish to watch which makes it easier to choose.

What makes Iflix standout from the rest of the Streaming apps out there? Is the ability to download what you want and watch it while offline.

Good news for Smart, Talk n Text and PLDT subscribers, Iflix offers a special subscription rate for you.  Instead of paying for 129 per month, you only get to pay 99 pesos.  And I save the best for last, you could connect your account upto 5 devices.

So, what are you waiting for? Still not convinced? Try it for a month for free and you won't regret it, I know I didn't.


  • 1 month unlimited access!
  • Thousands of TV shows, movies & more.
  • Stream on your phone, laptop, tablet or TV.
  • You can even Download & watch offline.
