Santé is Stronger than Steel on its 11th Year

Santé is stronger than steel on its 11^th year. Santé, a leading global producer of certified organic barley products, recently held its 11th year anniversary entitled, ‘Salvo 2019: Stronger than Steel’ at the Dusit Thani Manila in Makati City. The event gathered thousands of Santé business owners, business partners, and stakeholders from across the country and from the continents of Africa and Europe.

The theme of this year’s celebration revolves around the story of how Santé came to be the global premier health and wellness provider that it is today amidst all the challenges and obstacles faced by the business. Steel, which has been widely used as a foundation of construction sites and of the building industries, represents Santé as a business built upon hard work, strong character, and a solid community tested through time.

According to Joey Marcelo, CEO of Santé, 2019 will be an exciting year for the company as they continue to build a strong foundation for their business owners, as well as their growing presence globally.

“Last year was the 10th-anniversary celebration of Santé and it proved to be a fruitful time for us,” said Marcelo. “This year, we hope to continue to impart the value of health and wellness to people across the world all while helping our business owners grow and thrive.”

Among the highlights of the fun-filled event is the conferment of awards and incentives to Santé Year-End Travel Galore Promo Qualifiers, Top Hall of Famer of the Year, Car allowance Qualifiers, and Santé Extreme Incentive, among others.

Other executives from Santé such as Paul Caluag, chief distribution officer of Santé, Minette Carag, chief product officer of Santé, Eric Maranan, CFO of Santé, and Peter Hope, managing director for Santé New Zealand, graced the stage during the awarding.

Also present during the event were Kuya Kim Atienza, the brand ambassador of Santé Barley, James Deakin, automotive journalist and events host, as well as the premiere vocal group, the Company, who wowed the crowd through their performance.

Santé is a producer and a distribution company of organic wellness products. The company offers products that do not have synthetic, harmful ingredients while serving as a mounting venue for entrepreneurs. Among its flagship products is Santė Barley, a supplement made out of 100 percent young barley grass that is grown in the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand and is certified organic by BioGro. Barley grass powder is very potent to fight free radicals that can cause damage to health.

For Immediate Release CAROUSELL RECORDS 45.1 PERCENT SURGE IN LISTINGS DURING CHINESE NEW YEAR SEASON

Carousell, one of the world’s largest and fastest growing classifieds marketplaces, today shared that the number of listings on the platform rose by 45.1 per cent to 678,853 listings during Chinese New Year festive season. Women’s fashion, Men’s fashion, Health & Beauty products, Babies & Kids’ products, and Gadgets were the top five categories on the platform during the period.

This is compared to the the same period last year when listings on Carousell grew by 20 percent, proving that the platform is proactive in its approach to promoting decluttering, and selling unused and underused items in the house.

“The Chinese New Year festive season is when a household traditionally declutters as part of spring-cleaning and in preparation for the annual celebration. The surge in listings on Carousell this year shows that Malaysians are becoming more aware of each item’s value, and instead of throwing things out are choosing to list their preloved goods on Carousell,” said Tang Siew Wai, Country Head of Carousell Malaysia.

This year, Carousell has taken the initiative to drum up spring-cleaning and promote declutter, which led to the release of four videos online as part of its  “Sell on Carousell” campaign. The series that depicted a family of four conducting spring cleaning in preparation for the festive season has successfully garnered over 4.1 million views on various social media platforms.

Siew Wai also acknowledged that the rapid rise in Internet adoption across Malaysia also contributed to the surge. “More Malaysians can now access to Carousell to conveniently buy and sell preloved goods at a reasonable price.”

On 11 January 2019, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) announced that a total of 87.4 percent of Malaysia’s population uses the Internet compared to 76.9 percent in 2016. The statement also indicated that digital transactions are also on the uptrend as Internet users are the catalysts in developing a wider digital ecosystem in the country.

A survey conducted by Carousell in late 2017 revealed that 46 percent of Carousellers in Malaysia owned up to nine unused or underused items at home. Only 29 percent of this group would go on to sell their items for additional income.

There remains plenty of opportunities for Malaysians to discover the joy of decluttering and earn some extra cash at the same time.
