How Hacking Help Apps Grow

Saturday, August 28, 2021


If you've been irritated by ads on apps you are using, then you're not alone. As apps showcase reasons to change your lives, you gotta ask yourself if it is true.

Building apps isn't easy and in the process of making new ones should have one element, growth hacking. If there exists a good efficient one out there, make it better.

Shane Shan the Director for APC Huawei Consumer Cloud Service says "There should be a strong sense of creativity at growth. Software developers must pay close attention to products and user experience. In order to grow quickly, you need a unified effort between marketing, engineering, developers and existing users".

This is also why they are continuing to discovering talent over at AppsUP 2021: The Huawei HMS App Innovative Contest. They're making app developers better with their craft so they can understand it more, to unleash one's full potential. Being meticulous at testing phase at the beginning of an app's development can take out costs which may affect the budget. Frequently doing it is highly suggested.

Listening to pro/premium users who pay for the service is also a good strategy because in some ways, they are also invested in it, so is building a community for it. This is why Huawei Mobile Services is introducing a lot of features to their products like AI, AR and analytics capabilities. You too can launch your app to millions of people around the world, visit http://bit.ly/appsupapacpc for more details about it.

Some Good Discoveries with VIVO Y31

Thursday, February 25, 2021



Life hasn't been easy and while we scour to find and make a living, we seek refuge at home, to ultimately enjoy the time we have for our family, less likely perks of this pandemic.Everyday we find ways to entertain ourselves, to watch videos off the internet and learn a new language, or something to cook, plant, or build inside our homes. You discover things with yourself, and sometimes it's amazing!

The vivo Y31 has 128 GB of space to fill with your memories, and an expandable microSDXC slot if you need more. The apps you use need a lot of these so you can watch all day, work and play without the need to get it from a different device, wouldn't that be good? 


Streaming A Lot!

The age of KDramas, Asian ones, BL YouTube series, Netflix, HBO Go, Apple TV and iFlix suddenly have had a surge of watch hours and yes, it can all be streamed in your phone. The portability, the way you put it up your face and fall down several times while you're in bed, but still didn't stop watching your favorite titles at home. You simply couldn't imagine your life without it, and all you post on social media suddenly have had activity, you find your kindred souls and talk about it all on your timeline. Then you go on and ask a few more things, your library didn't stop growing and you learn a lot about crying in scenes because they're just that good. If you knew it could handle all that content, your phone can do more.


Suddenly Shopaholic

The way we shop suddenly stopped; but lo and behold the growing E commerce industry answered our prayers and got several online shopping and delivery apps improved our options to safely do it in our own homes. Opening your cart or the app itself needs a better and faster OS, hence Android 11 with FunTouch 11 on the vivo Y31. Now it's the better option to get your necessities like groceries, food, things you need for the office since we all work at home. Heck I even bought a table and ladder online and they delivered in less than a week which means it's that convenient. Food can be sent to your house in hours even without cooking, you can actually survive in this day and age. Pretty cool.


Bond Over Gaming

You miss your friends and family. You can't go to their house physically, and what better way to bond over but online games. The bouts in third person shooters, or MMORPG games, is now easy and can be handled by mobile phones. Like the vivo Y31 that's sufficiently equipped with the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 662 octa-core processor. Whether data or WiFi, you can connect with your family and friends easily. In it, you can talk, plan your wars, cooperate in skirmishes and win together. It's something that is so good to have during a time when we're all confined in our rooms. 

 

It makes us all feel we exist, while we may sometimes never have enough to snack on but hey, this just seem to make technology so endearing. It got us connected through tough times and made the supply chain exist, and handle the pandemic better compared to (if) we were not that way. It's a good thing to know that at least, you find yourselves appreciating what phones can do these days. The vivo Y31 is equipped with a 48-megapixel camera, so you can take really nice photos, take nice videos so you can share them through messaging apps. Aside from that, the phone also lasts long because of its battery life. You can see more about the vivo Y31 at www.vivoglobal.ph/phone/vivo-Y31. You can also see more of it on the vivo Philippines Facebook page, Twitter and IG account. You can also get them online via the vivo official store in Shopee and Lazada.

It's a nice discovery, life changing in fact and we've all witnessed that during this time.

Turning Your Leads Into Sales

Friday, November 09, 2018






The figures says it all. Every time an opportunity arises, you have to take it and make sure that as a sales professional, you use the information to your advantage. At this day and age there are tons of ways to get a lead, but what do you have to do to make it a sale? I’ve seen countless sellers take the information and only get one or two convinced. Some of them even bogus, some of them prosper, but turning these into real sales is another thing. Here’s a few things you could take note of if you want to make it work, see if this takes your sales journey to another level!




Use Your Time Wisely



Yes, time is of the essence. If you get leads in your hand, chances are, so does a couple other hundred agents did too. A recent study shows that if you get to use the information you get in the first five minutes, you would be more successful converting it into a sale rather than let’s say, a person who would use it 30 minutes later. Now that is a fact... and it is a 100 times better. You could have sworn you knew about this when you started your career right? I may be wrong.


Be An Authority


Subject matter experts or the real deal person with experience, you’ve got to be both. Use your knowledge as power and get the information your clients need so they too make a sound decision. You have to know it’s not about fooling people, you have to give them the exact things they have to know about your product, whether real estate or other things, it would convince them further if you give even more of what they need. So make sure you read up on things, experience it and have the edge over other sales people who would attempt to use those leads so they feel your authenticity, your eagerness to help to make that YES to your deal without any hesitation.






Follow Up, Follow Up Promptly



You wouldn’t want people to forget about you especially if they need time to collect themselves and crack that perfect judgement. The concern and interest you give should be a factor but in this day and time, you’ve got to act quick because that’s what it is all about. Go back and send them information they need, add interest on amenities, bonuses, discounts and location. Go above and beyond what they would expect and help them find a home if they need to, not just a house. Doing it in a timely manner and responding to urgency shows you care, that is immeasurable.



Do Not Hard Sell



A sales pitch is a sales pitch but it is better when you wouldn’t think it is. It shouldn’t be the type which would be overbearing to your clients, or pressure them into making a decision that they would regret later on. I know people who wouldn’t stand pressure and quit just because it is too much to think about. They would rather live and breathe normally than hear a nagging seller on the other side of the line. You have to ignite their imagination and make them see how exciting it is to own their own home, fit in their family in the picture and see how magical it would be to get it fresh, hot, easy and fast! That you would move mountains for them but never over promise and not deliver on what you tell them. You have to be the person they trust, like a close friend, not an infomercial. A reminder would suffice but stay pleasant and not a Marcos of modern times.




Use Good Technology


If you want to be ahead of the pack, you have to use tools to your advantage. You also have to make sure you stay organized and stay updated by reading where you left off your conversations so you won’t look like a broken record. Take Lamudi’s Lead Management Tool for example, because it manages your listings, makes your follow ups easy so you can track all your transactions in one place. Your client’s dream home should include their desired size, location and budget to work with. Obviously if you can see all these factors in one go, you’re not going to waste your time and theirs. That invokes sincerity, which would in turn make them transact with you easier and do it faster so you both could save the trouble, no nonsense at all!




This at least would get you started. Make it beneficial for you and your client, you’ll also earn a friend.

Efficiency with Lamudi’s New Lead Management Tool

Tuesday, October 23, 2018



I'm not foreign to software development as I have been in the IT industry for a couple of years now. It takes months, years to even improve digital solutions in different industries, but it is essential to keep up not only because of industry standards... but to be ahead of the pack. In the realm of real estate, we all know how competition gets serious in an again, emerging market. You use tools to your advantage, a thing that Lamudi understands which is why they came out with the Lead Management Tool as consumer demands grow. Sellers would now be able to manage listings, follow up their leads and generate even more business in a no nonsense way. With easy to understand dashboards that caters to great support for sales and marketing, inventories and product management, it will enhance and optimize your existing operations and make processes efficient, which I'm sure every corporation would appreciate.



This tool also organizes your clientele using Lead Tagging so those who would need follow ups, promising customers or unresponsive ones can be identified and filtered. It also has Messaging options so you can call, text or email in one place plus easy notes to profile prospective clients and view it. It can also be updated real time so Lead Profiles would contain the updated preferred location, number of rooms and price points your clients would be interested in. Sellers would be able to target interested buyers via their market’s preferences and monitor consumer behavior and qualify legitimate leads with less clicks, no fuss on monitoring the status of the property so you could maximize time and effort. Wouldn't that be nice?



Now it's easy for them to organize and effectively market these for sale properties without the need of unnecessary red tape in your end. This would be convenient on both the client's side and real estate professionals. Saving you time, effort and add more business opportunities. Thanks to Lamudi's Lead Management Tool who can do all these things and more!

OPPO F1's Quest for the Perfect Selfie!

Friday, August 05, 2016




I'm no Nyle Dimarco, but just like the most of you, I do take selfies. It's not a sin, some people like it, some don't, but if we are going to take selfies, I feel it should be done with the best hardware, best phone with a camera capability that would make you still look very real, and good no matter what side of you face is being shot.

I'll be on a journey next weekend with our friends from OPPO as they take their OPPO F1 series to the outskirts of Manila and try their best phone yet that promises to take outstanding selfies, now that's a challenge I'm willing to take.


The OPPO F1 series was launched last February and has got an 8MP Front Camera that can take an 84 degree wide angle shot. It also has an f 2.0 aperture and a 1/4 inch sensor that means it would be able to capture more light when you need to, without being all too bulky in form. 


Now it all looks so promising as they have software that also comes with that excellent hardware, but I really havent held that phone yet so take this recommendation with a grain of salt. Hopefully we would be able to use it by next week. I'm raring to test it on myself, my friends, and even take a LOT of videos just to make sure. Hopefully it won't dissappoint as it's predecessors have performed quite well in the past.

OPPO Philippines' Marketing Manager Stephen Cheng knows what Filipinos need today in the smartphone market and says "When choosing their smartphones, people simply look for attractive designs, powerful hardware, long battery life and a camera that take beautiful photos. One that they could take whenever and wherever they are!"

Hopefully we could see that very soon as they continue OPPO's quest for the perfect selfie!

Filipino Slang Reaches WeChat Sticker Gallery!

Tuesday, May 20, 2014

Like whoa! I can't believe my eyes! It looks like we're in for a treat today as WeChat just started speaking our language! Oh yes! The fun in the Philippines never stops as Filipino slang finally reaches this social messaging app that we absolutely love! Now, you'll find the normal things people utter on the streets - spoken by ordinary Filipinos which you won't usually see on school, literature or find in books. The Filipino language is definitely evolving and it's turning out to be quite and adventure. 

Just imagine our 7,107 islands. It's got about 175 recognized dialects that can be called in unison as "Filipino". Even as tourists, you'll have something in your sleeve as the Philippines also ingrained in its popular culture a distinctive form of communication known as "Filipino slang". You won’t find this category in books but you’ll hear the series of catchphrases on the streets, from local television shows to just about anywhere where the influences of media exist. It is very dynamic and changes from day to day. A combination of English and Tagalog,  to gay lingo, to street dweller terminologies, you would see something that you could use in everyday life. 

As our language change and evolve, WeChat provides a very social mobile application that follows the color and hues of the Filipino vernacular. 16 fully new funny stickers that would imply the inventiveness of our writings and the immeasurable joyfulness of our innate humor. You won't find it anywhere but here. Get ready to put in your messages statements as “Bahala na si Batman!”,  “Boom!”, “Push mo yan!” and “Gorabels!”. One could never run out of fun quirky ways telling your friends, office mates and relatives something new every time you chat on one great social messaging application like WeChat. This set is currently available at WeChat’s Sticker Gallery which you can easily access by clicking on Me then go to the Sticker Gallery.


I can't wait to use these stickers on you guys! :)

Saturday, May 10, 2014


Mother's Day is fast approaching and if you've got relatives outside the country, it's but normal to feel distraught. With the advancement of mobile technology and the easiness of using apps, it's now going to feel a lot closer for most of us and that's a good thing. It's something to be thankful for!

WeChat, the fastest growing mobile social messaging app in the country is now giving back to the most special woman in our lives - our Moms. They've got an exciting promo that sets importance on connecting with your loved ones. You can now use WeChat Video Calls to three different people on different days this week. Aside from that, you get awesome prepaid credits to help you get connected to people that you dearly love. Moms can get those precious moments rolling once again with friends and relatives.

Letting them know how special your Mom is and getting some perks in the process just makes this the perfect thing to do this Mother's day.


I am so happy that my Mom is at home, but since my brother is in Ireland we might as well use the obvious service that can connect my other relatives too. I even tried the video call earlier with my friends and it's clear as a bright sunny day. The audio was great too - nothing lame and choppy. Now imagine that great service and a chance to win something from the fastest growing chat app in the country! If you haven't tried WeChat yet, then this might be the best time to do it!
  
Why? It's because you can win prepaid credits or more from WeChat. Just follow these steps:

1.) Make three (3) video calls to three (3) different people on WeChat. Do this on three different days. This will entitle you to win a PHP 100 worth of prepaid card. 
2.) After doing the Video Call task, send the keyword “HMD” to WeChat Fans Official Account (add the ID: wechatfansph) so you can put in your information for prize delivery.
3.) Win another special prize by doing the additional task of sharing WeChat tips to Moments along with your best wishes for your mom. To avail of this opportunity, you must take a screenshot of you sharing WeChat tips on Moments and posting it on a public status on Facebook while tagging WeChat Philippines Official Facebook Account. That's it!
WeChat’s Video Call feature is a new and exciting platform bringing people closer together. It’s an easy way to show your loved ones how much you care. This Mother’s Day, celebrate the warmth of a mother’s love in a unique and modern way by giving them a kiss and a heartfelt greeting through a Video Call on WeChat. They deserve all the love they can get! I already said I love her, you should too!

Free Access on BPI Express Mobile App for Globe Subscribers

Monday, May 05, 2014


An afternoon of good news was up at the Holiday Inn Suites in Makati as Bank of the Philippine Islands and Globe announced a spectacular deal that would make your smart phones a tad better. Whether you are postpaid or prepaid subscribers of this network, you now have access to the BPI Express Mobile App anywhere in the Philippines and Globe won't charge you a single cent for it. This means that you can have banking transactions right on your smart phone and make inquiries, bank transfers, payments and other services as easy as a flick of a button. Ms. Nabbie Alejo, the Executive Vice President and Head of Retail Segments and Channels Group for BPI says this partnership only has everything to gain and will make it easier for their bankers to access their bank accounts, transfer money, pay for bills and reload mobile phones when you need it and where you need it. It's the aggressive stance of BPI that makes it all worthwhile to be with them as they continue to make the banking experience as easy as 123.


I always use this app to monitor my investments and check my balance if I need to. They've also updated the app recently so it goes with the iOS7 design, look and feel. It also is responsive, fast and efficient if I wanted to bank wherever I am in the country. Now, it'll be more accessible to the public because it's totally free! I have to tell you though that just don't use the location services on the app so you don't get charged for that (the ATM locator) because as I've been informed that isn't included. Everything else is fair game!


Daniel Horan, Globe's Senior Advisor for Consumer Business says that this partnership with Bank of the Philippine Islands enforces their customers digital lifestyles. Today, mobile phones are not just about calls and texts, but people use it for financial services as well. Globe is steadfastly growing smartphone consumer base and they will definitely benefit from this wonderful service.


BPI's Senior Vice President and Electronic Channels Group Head Manuel Tagaza says that BPI has always been at the forefront of introducing new channels for their clients. It is a must for them to access their accounts conveniently. The BPI Express Mobile app is the number one finance related app on the App Store and it is doing quite well. They are now just extending their portfolio and always trying to make sure that the technology available in banking would be available for all their clients. They put effort in making collaborations like these because it makes everything easier. A feat not available in other banks in the country.

Congratulations BPI and Globe on this wonderful partnership! Together, you are making the Filipinos live their lives better!

The Digital Filipino Psyche on Online Entertainment

Friday, May 02, 2014

There's so many things to tell you about the Filipino way of thinking and how we at most - try to paint a picture about how we inculcate in our lives - online entertainment. 

 We are a different breed. Due to the rousing obvious influences of Spanish, Japanese and American rule in our country, we are much of a melting pot of cultures. Today, we have somehow made the same advancements and made it a part of our young smartphone and tablet habits. Some are well involved colloquys and some are just plain opinions. Although we see something that strike us a little off delving into topics like these, young Filipinos from 16-24 choose to have apps like WeChat to entertain us as individuals. It's not just all serious talk now. Things can go relaxed and become our best friend when the need comes through. Like me and WeChat which I use to socialize virtually. What's yours?

If you don't know yet, you might fall into these categories:

1. The Political Brainwave

If you care too much about your hard earned taxes, the current Bangsamoro Agreement in Mindanao and the people who are suppose to be jailed but are still in hospitals receiving pampering; then you are part of this group. For the longest time, you've been talking about current government and political events and don't mind being the one voicing out your opinion about the next presidential elections on Facebook for everyone to see, then you are part of the populace that discuss this topic which comprises 55% of internet users and 57% of WeChat users in the Philippines. Imagine that!

2. The Superstar Reflex

We might as well admit it - that we love to gossip and talk about celebrities in different mediums. You might not be the one holding megaphones and announcing it all on the streets but of course you maybe the person inside your homes watching every KathNiel or The Legal Wife scene on TV and putting your reactions online. News, gossip or whatever you call it, you are part of a whole 54% of average internet users and 55% of WeChat users go online who discuss this with fervor! Something you can say you can't live without daily! You also go out of your way to post photos, videos and other media just to show your passion... now that's amazing!

3. The Nerves of Speed

If you are fans of car shows, auto exhibits and love all that has 4 wheels and a great body, then you are part of a number of people who talk about the third most interesting topic across social networking services. Measured in general and in WeChat chatter, that's a great feat in itself. Seeing an agricultural country as ours crave for something like automobiles means there's relentless progress right there. Purchasing power? Perhaps... there's just a lot of people interested in these things. It's a welcome change and something that you know could measure economic activity if they begin splurging and get interested in cars. Just ask the tons of Philippine jeepneys and foreign race cars I've seen in local shows and you know we're almost drowning in them. Good thing really.

4. The Adventure Hormones

Labor Day became Laboracay and those remote islands just became populated. We can never have much of vacations and holidays just so we can get a feel of how it is to have adventure, sports and wildlife in the mix. If we're working too hard or getting stressed all the time in the four walls of your cube in the office, the only way to NOT be stressed is by going out and exploring the other 7,107 islands we haven't been too in the Philippines. Studies reveal that around 51% of average internet users or 55% of WeChat users talk about these adrenaline inducing activities we might be missing out on. Those jump and solo shots on your Instagram are a dead giveaway.

5. The Beauty Bone

You might think this is just because of your friends who are addicted looking at themselves in the mirror, but it's not just that. Take account the various make up tutorials and lovely fashion advices plus the star of the show... your pets! It's similar to humans but if you get into the gritty details of it, almost 57% are talking about pet grooming and care in WeChat. Now that can't be ignored, hence the volume of people loving or wishing to be perfect.

We are nice people and understanding us a bit and how we go about our lives in the Philippines may well reflect our culture. It's a good thing we have things that motivate us to be better than what we were yesterday. Technology complements our race and it connects us to friends, loved ones in more ways than one. Same with Video, Hold to Talk and Chat that not only makes it easy for us to stay in touch. We might hold the title of the heaviest video chat usage already and we're not going to be surprised. Our culture holds a ton of importance with family. Same as some our other neighboring Asian countries perhaps, but ours maybe a bit warmer and a tad better!

Updates on WeChat Philippines

Thursday, May 01, 2014


 We had a chance to meet a couple of people from WeChat a few days ago. They were drawing their milestones and telling us a picture on how the application has been performing in the Philippines. Oliver Ye, Country Manager of WeChat Philippines says that since March of 2012 (Tencent Inc.), they have steadfastly been growing and got initially 100 Million registrations around the world, a feat faster performed than well known social networks. 

They have also introduced the first hold to talk, shake and drift messaging feature that are was initially not found on other apps. Over 355 Million registered active users are now taking advantage of it and since April last year, they have been marketing this app in the Philippines starting with endorsements by Iya and Drew Arellano. Do you still remember their commercial? I know I do. 

They are also bigger now in the country and have been able to garner and audience that's quite young. According to their data, they have people mostly from 15-24 age using it now. 81% of which are all under 34 years of age. In the Philippines, they have also seen something very big because we have the highest percentage of video usage among other countries. They have attributed this on our culture as we mostly use this medium to communicate with our loved ones. Being a country that has amassed millions of OFW's in the past few years, they were not surprised because they see this as an important way to connect with relatives or friends outside the Philippines.



They also taught us a few features of WeChat and got us to do it that afternoon. I already am a pro at this so when they did a small contest I won haha.


Finding me on WeChat is easy just add kumagcow on your contacts and I'll be there. If you have friends that you want to add and they are nearby, just click the + sign on the Chats section and choose Add Contacts. There is a feature called Friend Radar on that window and you'll see them all pop up. Just click on each friend and they'll be added to your contacts. Easy than manually typing right? :)


If you are lonely this Labor Day, don't worry. There's a People Nearby feature where you can see people around you and even show how far they are from where you are. It's easier to make friends, chat and even send photos/videos when you need it. You see the potential? There's a lot more where that came from. Download the WeChat app now on the App Store or Google Play Store. This is available for Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Symbian and OS X devices. You can't be anti social in this day and age. Try it out! It won't hurt! :)

We love. We share. WeChat!

The Chance To Be The Next WeChat Star!

Saturday, April 26, 2014


It's been three long and fun years getting 355 million registered accounts since its inception. WeChat has definitely made my social life so good with its great features and exclusive promos. Remember in 2013 when Iya Villania and Drew Arellano appeared on TV for a WeChat commercial? Well, it's going to be another momentous event to see more of WeChat this 2014 as they launch a brand new TVC this May. Isn't that amazing?!

Best of all, they are getting one of the country's top fashion influencer. Who else is going to be with him/her? IT COULD BE YOU! No joke. To become a part of this shoot, you just have to do a few things. Just take four (4) SELFIES beginning today until early May whilst portraying the expressions happy, angry, sad and surprised. Then share those through the “Moments” section of WeChat. Then take screenshots of it and then send it to the official Facebook page. On that post, just make sure you tag @WeChat Philippines. Wouldn't you like to be part of this awesome shoot? :)

WeChat has always been the perfect mobile chat application that perfectly fits our lifestyle. No matter how you feel, it's the great app that can suit your mood and can easily be communicated with your friends and family. I admire Drew and Iya when they did the first commercial because no matter how busy they were in their respective shows, they still keep it a point to get in touch with technology as wonderful as this. WeChat’s “Video Call” functions had them talking hours or minutes in between tapings. They also use “Hold To Talk” to send sweet messages via chat when one or the other is busy. The sweet “Moments” function also served as their repository for photos so they show what they're doing all throughout the day if they needed to check on each other. Now, this is the perfect chance for you to show how you use WeChat! Make sure to follow the WeChat Fans Official Account ID wechatfansph so you get tips if you want to join.

You'll surely love how WeChat innovates the way how you connect with your loved ones. It's time to share that now. I did!

WeChat Partners with Internet Shopping Giant ZALORA

Sunday, April 13, 2014



My favorite mobile messaging application WeChat just gave us great news that they are holding a partnership with online shopping giant Zalora. Better than ever, they are making you shopping experience a whole lot bigger than before by giving out exclusive content, news and promos unprecedented in Philippine internet shopping industry. With over 15 million users across the country, they are giving this user base special access to the newest offers and the ability to easily pay with a single swipe. It's one of the many perks having WeChat and I'm so glad I'm enjoying it until now.

The Senior Director of Business Development and Operations Justin Sun at Tencent said “As Filipinos lead more mobilized lifestyles, WeChat wants to help boost brands by providing them a mobile platform to further expand their enterprises. Aside from supporting retailers, this kind of practice can also open up a new business model for those in the wholesale industries.” In this case, not only will this partnership help both businesses but the retailers and consumers as well. It makes sense, if you've got a consumer that's got WeChat installed on their phones that means they've got a smartphone right? The people with the same purchasing power are also the ones that would bound to be the customers of Zalora. It's a perfect fit!

 My hunch was right and confirmed by Mr. Paulo Campos the Co-Founder and Managing Director of ZALORA Philippines. He says “Our partnership with WeChat is a natural fit. With this mobile messaging leader at the helm, ZALORA can stay connected with shoppers and ensure that they remain up-to-date with all of our latest offerings.” Having been able to also shop there, the convenience of choosing a product, paying for it easily and having it sent right to my doorstep was so convenient. It beats the shopping mall in so many levels because you'll never have to drive through traffic, you'll never have to be bothered by the crowd plus you'll get even bigger discounts now that WeChat and Zalora made this partnership happen! :)



Bigger discounts? Yeah! There's an exclusive promo running now for WeChat users that can get you 60% off on purchases at collective.com. All you need to do is download WeChat on your smartphone or tablet and add ZALORA’s Official ID on WeChat: ZALORAph. If you follow them, the subscription messages provide an e-coupon instantly. This will entitle you to that discount we mentioned a while ago. Enjoy this e-coupon whenever you shop in Zalora online. :)

It's hot outside, be in the comforts of your own home and start shopping!
