Corporate Giveaways Buyers' Show 2013 Slated on July 3-5, 2013



We all love receiving gifts and souvenirs and we find them more special when we know that the givers have put in a lot of thought in choosing them. Media people, for instance, are used to receiving tokens from press conferences and other events but there are certain giveaways that end up being treasured more because they are either really beautiful or useful or both.


Did you know that there are a lot of companies that make really nice stuff worthy to be given to valued clients and guests? Many of them will be showcasing their products in the upcoming Corporate Giveaways Buyers' Show 2013 on the first week of July where you can find business gifts, premiums, promotional ideas and merchandise incentives. 

Corporate Giveaways is now on its 26th year and was born from the idea of Worldexco Chairman, Lynn Romero, who was then a PR director of one of the country's leading hotels. At the time, she needed to find a ready and reliable source of specialized gifts for the hotel's clients and partners. Her personal quest eventually turned into a well-received solution that other marketing professionals were looking for.


Raquel Romero, General Manager of World Expos & Concepts Inc., recognizes that they have an obligation to provide their exhibitors with the market they want. "Just think about it, how many sure buyers can you really get from making cold calls? At Corporate Giveaways, the customers come to you. At this point, they have a market to pitch to; all they have to do is impress with their products and services."

Visitors are guaranteed to find quality products from a wide mix of manufacturers, traders, and importers. Aside from a core group of exhibitors, including Manel's Leathergoods, Star Paper, Tieline, Memo King, and others, the expo also features newcomers gathered through a referral system and filtered through rigorous criteria before making the cut. They were selected based on the quality of goods and the legitimacy of their corporate gift business.

A Tieline product
During a press conference held at Sweet Bella in Greenbelt 5, Makati, members of the media got to meet representatives from three of the exhibitors. Inaki Garcia from Tieline shared that 2013 marks their company's 20th year as part of the Corporate Giveaways Expo and that the experience has been nothing but fruitful. Tieline has been providing top-quality ties, scarves, suits, and other pieces of formal apparel since 1989.

Purple Tag, represented by Chiw Bailon, on the other hand, has been a very well-received participant in the expo for 10 years. This company has been known to go above and beyond in personalizing a variety of gifts and giveaways for each of its clients. 

A Villa del Conte gift set
A newbie in the expo is Villa del Conte chocolates which offers specialty orders for events and corporate gifts. It is headed by Vince Aldanense who had the good fortune to meet the Nazzareno family of Padova, Italy and given the change to bring the irresistible Italian chocolates to Philippine shores. 

If you are looking for gifts and souvenirs that you want your recipients to really appreciate, make time this July 3-5, 2013 to drop by the SMX Convention Center located at the Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City.
