  • ZEN and DEI Properties launch the first ever budget hotel in BGC

    ZEN and DEI Properties launch the first ever budget hotel in BGC

    ZEN Rooms, the #1 hotel chain in the Philippines, launched ZEN Premium Uptown BGC, the first and only budget hotel in Bonifacio Global City. Former Vice President of the Philippines Jejomar Binay led the opening ceremony last December 12, 2019 in Taguig City.

    The opening of ZEN Premium Uptown BGC is in line with the pioneering spirit of ZEN Rooms, which already has a track record of disrupting the short-term accommodation sector. In 2016, ZEN Rooms entered the Philippines with the aim to radically improve the value-for-money of hotels in the country, historically plagued by high prices, unsafe facilities and poor guest ratings.

    In 2017, ZEN launched ZEN Homes in BGC, the first affordable, professionally-run service apartment brand in the Philippines. Today, ZEN is once again disturbing the sector by opening the only budget hotel in BGC, with a budget premium positioning. Indeed, presently there are only 5 hotels in BGC, all of which are 4 and 5 star properties with rates of PHP 8,000 and above per night.

    ZEN’s newly built hotel has 105 rooms and is conveniently located alongside Kalayaan avenue, only five minutes away walk from Uptown Mall with rates starting at only PHP 1,500 per night. The building is owned by DEI Properties, one of the leading family-owned developers in the Philippines.

    The opening of ZEN Premium Uptown BGC is part of ZEN’s continuous effort in providing a solution to the lack of affordable accommodations the country’s most dynamic business district, in line with its aim to democratize travel to all.

    “BGC Developers have built an amazing modern city with tremendous appeal but with unfortunately no affordable hotels, leading to nonsense situations where business travellers are forced to either spend excessively on high-end hotels at the Fort or commute hours to reach their meetings in BGC. With the launch of ZEN Premium Uptown, we are delighted to be putting an end to this unfair nonsense with our partner DEI Properties.” says BGC based Nathan Boublil, Co-Founder and CEO of ZEN Rooms.

    About ZEN Rooms

    Founded in 2015 by entrepreneurs Nathan Boublil and Kiren Tanna, ZEN Rooms was established to improve the state of budget hospitality in Southeast Asia, making travel more affordable and safer. ZEN is now one of the fastest growing hospitality companies in the region, the #1 hotel chain in the Philippines and the only full stack hospitality brand in Southeast Asia. ZEN helps budget and mid-range hotels operate more efficiently and increase the value of their property through a range of operational and technological solutions. ZEN provides safe and affordable travel for millions of travelers staying at ZEN’s franchised or operated properties each year. ZEN has raised US$23M equity funding from leading institutional investors Rocket Internet, Ooredoo Telecom, RedBadge Pacific, SBI Investments Korea and Yanolja.

  • Promote Your Business Online! Learn How by Joining a Social Media Marketing Workshop

    Promote Your Business Online! Learn How by Joining a Social Media Marketing Workshop

    Are you on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube? If you spend two to three hours daily merely scrolling on your feeds, why not earn from these social media platforms?

    I’m sure you have thought about possibly selling a piece of pre-loved jewelry or outfit. This can help you earn a few bucks to add to your travel funds.

    Why not pursue it, or maybe start your own online business?

    If you wish to start one in 2020, social media is a great tool to promote your products or services among your target customers. 

    Aside from building your own website or printing marketing materials such as brochures and business cards, it would be best if you considered investing in social media campaigns. 

    Here’s why:

    Your customers are on social media.

    To increase your sales, you have to expose your products or services to as many prospective customers as possible. Social media allows you to promote your brand to a large number of people in a short amount of time.

    The Digital in 2017 report showed that Filipinos spend an average of 4 hours and 17 minutes daily on social media sites such as Facebook, Snapchat, and Twitter. On Facebook alone, 47 Million Filipinos have an account and can learn about your brand if you know how to use this platform.

    You only need a small budget to advertise on social media.

    Imagine putting up a physical store and renting a place where you can display your products, versus creating an account on Facebook or Instagram where online customers can learn about your business. Which do you think costs less?

    You can spend at least $2-$5 a day to run ads on Facebook. And if you know tips on how to advertise, this simple effort can be profitable for you.

    Setting up on social media is easy.

    You do not need to hire an expert marketer to do the work for you. As long as you have your copy with an image or video to go with your advertisements, you can run them on any social media platform in a few steps.

    However, not everyone knows how to get this done, especially newbies. Often, online store owners will post and share random content that doesn’t get them viewers or buyers.

    If you want your social media marketing efforts to be productive, learn what works or not from a workshop that I’d like to recommend to you.

Year after year, we continue to see more users from both big and small cities buying and selling a wide variety of items. Shopee has become the go-to, everyday shopping app for everyone in the region, and we are committed to making e-commerce simple and accessible for all.”

    E-commerce is fast becoming a daily norm in users’ lives

We have achieved so much in the past year but what stands out the most is the unwavering support we’ve received from our users, sellers, brands, and partners. As we look ahead to 2020, we will continuously elevate the Shopee experience and unlock the full potential of e-commerce for all.”
