MANILA, Philippines - Last weekend, hundreds of families flocked to the myDSL Great Payday Summer Sale at the PLDT Home Pop-App Stores in SM Megamall and SM North EDSA and in hundreds of Home booths nationwide, knowing it was the best time for them to subscribe to myDSL’s reliable, family-sized connection for unlimited sharing at home — and get all the exciting freebies that came with it.
Summer deals up for grabs included free installation, a free WiFI modem, free access to WiFi Zone up to June 30, a free Telpad with every Telpad subscription and discounted rates on myDSL plans 1299 and up. To give customers the chance to make the most out of summer, PLDT even threw in hotel discounts from Agoda.com, plus the chance for one lucky person to win a Sony Vaio Duo II laptop.
Anna Banana Internet sensation Derek Lorenzo dropped by to greet people as they signed up for myDSL. And signing up was a cinch: All customers needed to do was present one valid ID. There was no cash-out required.
The PLDT Home Pop-App Stores also drew in crowds over the Great Payday Summer Sale because it let customers sign up for the best myDSL deals while getting them to try out the revolutionary concept store that showcases Home’s products and services such as Fibr and Telpad.
“We came up with the Pop-App Store because we wanted to bring the Connected Home experience closer to customers — in terms of services they see most value — entertainment, communication and security. It’s a fantastic way to connect with families. It is more engaging and it is a fresh approach to retail,†said Ariel Fermin, PLDT EVP and head of Home Business. “We want our customers to experience how relevant HOME is to their family’s digital needs even before they subscribe. Pop-App Stores sell digital possibilities.â€
While this month’s edition of the Great Payday Summer Sale may have concluded, the Pop-App Stores are still open daily during mall hours until May 29.
