In a hyperconnected world, no small and medium business can grow exponentially without a serious communication line or presence on the Internet. In fact, a TNS survey cited by Globe Telecom finds that entrepreneurs still look at landline services as a valuable communication platform, despite the proliferation of cellular services.
In the same manner, while social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter prove to be effective channels to connect and reach out to new and existing customers, an official webpage not only lends an SMB a credible image but makes businesses more visible and easier to search.
To address the needs of SMBs, Globe has announced customizable plans designed to help companies effectively and professionally communicate with clients and business partners, and establish a presence on the Internet.
“We understand that small and medium entrepreneurs need relevant, affordable, and hassle-free solutions that will enable them to run their operations smoothly. Now, customers can get communication concerns out of the way to better focus on more relevant things to grow their business,” says Globe Senior Vice President for Small and Medium Enterprise Group Martha Sazon. “With Globe myBusiness, we strive to inspire success among Philippine entrepreneurs through innovative communication solutions.”
There are basically four steps to creating a customized postpaid bundle with a free landline for your business:
Step 1: Choose Your myBusiness Postpaid Plan
With the new Globe MyBusiness Postpaid Plan, every plan now comes with a free Globe DUO landline with unlimited calls to landline within the same area and other Duo Subscribers. All plans come with a free 30-day webpage trial.
With a DUO landline, mobile phones are no longer just for calls or SMS, as it also functions as a wireless landline to enable users to continue operations wherever they are.
There are several plans businesses may choose from. The lowest is Plan 299 which has a Php449 call & text consumable value. Other plans are:
Step 2: Choose your Combo
Each plan comes with consumables at least 50% more than for the monthly service fee. The consumables can be used to customize the plan with calls, SMS, mobile internet and gadgets.
Step 3: Choose your Gadget
Aside from creating their own postpaid plans, customers can choose from a wide array of devices not limited to mobile phones, such as a Lenovo A536 and Lenovo Idea Tab A3300, an Acer Aspire E11 laptop or Acer Iconia One 7 tablet and Acer Liquid Z4 smartphone, to name a few.
Step 4: Choose your Booster (optional)
Finally, SMBs can boost their plans with solutions that help increase productivity and sales of their business.
Website service
myWebsite is an online marketing suite that provides website development (and other add-on features) to the customer. Every myBusiness Postpaid plan comes with a free one-page trial site that is built using customer-supplied data.
The website will be activated within five working days after Globe receives the complete requirements. The trial website will be deactivated after 30 days.
SMBs who decide to subscribe to the myWebsite service can choose from several myWebsite Plans, namely Plan 129, Plan 699, Plan 1,799, and Plan 7,999.
All plans, except Plan 129, come with an Ad Blast service (SMS-based), website revisions, Google Adwords, and website traffic report. The last two are not included in Plan 699.
There are three Ad Blast plans to choose from: Ad Blast Basic (all recipients), Ad Blast Zone (location-based), and Ad Blast Profile (demographics-based).
So for example, you choose myWesite Plan 699. With this plan you get five pages and one revision. If you want to add SMS marketing you can choose from Ad Blast Basic 300 (300 SMS), Ad Blast Zone 100, and Ad Blast Profile 100.
If you want a bigger site, you can choose Plan 1,799 which comes with 12 pages, Google Adwords service for three months, SMS marketing, and a bi-monthly website traffic report. For Plan 1,799 the Ad Blast Basic is 400, Ad Blast Zone is 200, while Ad Blast Profile is 200.
If 12 pages is not enough, a business can opt for myWebsite Plan 7,999 which comes with unlimited number of pages, daily traffic report, SMS marketing, and 24 months Google Adwords service.
SMS marketing plans are Ad Blast Basic 1,500, Ad Blast Zone 800 and Ad Blast Profile 800.
Those who fail to inform Globe about their wish to deactivate the trial website after the 30-day trial period will automatically be enrolled in myWebsite Plan 129 (one page only with no SMS marketing, reports and Google Adwords).
