Virtual Shopping with Ayala Center Cebu’s Shopline

Ms. Wilma, the Marketing Head of Ayala Center Cebu offered this project to our team, which I was hesitant to handle at first due to some business elements that I found uneconomical – from the variability of sales to convenience fees, etc.

She mentioned that she was looking for an agency to handle the Virtual Shopper project for the mall, and we were in mind. In a moment, I was quite unsure if we can handle it but as random as I am naturally, I said my sweet YES!

Again, I definitely have no idea how Virtual Shopping works but given that some malls are doing this, I tried other malls’ Virtual Shopping services just so I know how its ecosystem works.

I contacted some of my friends after to handle this “passion project” — I call it passion project because, in a way, I am not quite sure if we are going to make money out of this, or maybe I am purely doing this for goodwill? — Yes, maybe.

I have Ram as Project Manager, my College classmate; Ms. Thannya as Marketing Manager, my tour guide friend; hired 2 dispatchers and 3 shoppers for this project to operate, and as usual, we have Jeff for the graphics for all of the Marketing artworks.

We were making all of our plans to reality as the days come near the launching date. We have our uniforms and created our booth, finally, we are doing this thing. I honestly still can’t believe in giving my “yes” to a project that I am not confident to pull off, but I guess we are in the right direction. We have been receiving commendable feedbacks so far.

I am expecting something big from this project – not in earnings, but big in good customer service! I am just happy that we are doing a project out of our comfort zones — and it’s fun, and we are learning a lot!
