June 2010 General Membership Meeting

The Bank Marketing Association of the Philippines (BMAP) held its June General Membership Meeting last June 25 with the theme on trends in Rewards and Loyalty programs.

Speaker and sponsor for the month, Sodexo Motivation Solutions, shared and discussed the added-value benefits of giving rewards and loyalty solutions both for the clients and employees of an organization. Sodexo account manager, Amie Duhaylungsod, presented their various products such as their well-accepted gift certificates which have several categories to choose from which includes supermarkets, beauty and wellness, meals, department stores, and among others. The SODEXO certificates are one very effective tool to reward the company’s top performers as well as giving the valued clients an instant gratification in line with any marketing campaigns.

Aside from SODEXO, Ms. Nina Patawaran, founder of the Philippine Directory Project (PDP), grace the GMM and discussed about her advocacy that aims to improve the academic performance of all underprivileged children in public elementary schools by ensuring that they have access to well-designed children’s illustrated dictionary. For only P22,500, a corporate sponsor can donate 50 pcs. of the said dictionaries. PDP has also tied-up with the Ayala Foundation and PLDT-SMART.

BMAP ensures that in every GMM, only interesting topics are being presented and good and reliable speakers are being invited — just like what happened in this event. As a result, additional tables and chairs were set-up to accommodate the other attendees. BODs and officers were delighted to see new faces coming from different banking and non-banking institutions in the audience, aside from the regular attendees.
