While anyone can be an entrepreneur nowadays, starting an online business may be a daunting task. With the right support, succeeding comes within arm's reach.
At the first-ever LBC Social Sellers Bazaar, LBC Express Inc. aims to empower online business owners (MSMEs) by teaching online business owners new techniques to move their businesses forward.
Hosted by 101.1 Yes FM DJ Rico Panyero and Love Radio DJ Raqi Terra, the So Shop! Social Sellers Bazaar last October 5 at Function Room 4, SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia, Pasay City, it brought together over 100 online business owners, thousands of shoppers, industry speakers, and influencers in one venue. It gave social sellers the opportunity to meet and connect with their customers in person, showcase their products, and transact using LBC’s Cash on Pick-up (COP) and Cash on Delivery (COD) services.
LBC’s COP and COD services are designed to make online purchasing easier and more convenient for shoppers. With COP, LBC’s over 1,400 branches can serve as pick-up points for buyers to get the products they bought online while COD allows them to get it right at their doorstep.
