PLDT opens first Flagship store in Pasay City
PLDT’s
state-of-the-art Flagship store, the first of its kind in the company,
has opened recently with ribbon-cutting and blessing ceremonies
attended by PLDT executives and employees.
Located in Pasay
City along the busy streets of FB Harrison, PLDT’s Flagship
has all the elements of a 21st century store, combining retail with
entertainment and experiential components to enable subscribers
to experience firsthand the latest in telecoms and multimedia products
and services.
Its trendy interiors
include a cozy and luxurious customers’ lounge where guests
are encouraged to explore the different interactive screens. The
walls are lined with a pair of 32” displays which house custom-made
PLDT games and apps which can keep both adults and children busy
while waiting for their turn to transact business. At the center
is a huge 70” LED TV entertains visitors with shows, movies,
and videos. Even the Infotouch, a PLDT SSC staple, received an upgrade
with its HD-quality 24” touchscreen monitor where subscribers
can now learn more about PLDT products and make transactions such
as bill inquiries, repair requests, among other, from its user-friendly
and well-designed digital interface.
“This Flagship store is
just the start. This is our tool, it’s now up to us to make
the most of this tool,” said PLDT VP and Head of Customer
Care Paolo Lopez. “This marks the end of the traditional business
office and the beginning of the 21st century’s state-of-the-art
Sales and Service Center whose concept will inspire the 13 additional
stores to be rolled-out this year.”
