This year, I got another chance to join and experience a bigger Blogapalooza. This time around I completely prepared myself armed with my newly printed calling cards and a powerbank.
Blogapalooza is an event headed by Vince Golangco of wheninmanila.com and Anton Diaz of ourawesomeplanet.com which intends to bring buisnesses and bloggers together to help eachother in the promotion of their brand and blog.
This year the venue was much bigger and there were more known brands. I actually told myself that I'd stay a maximum of 3 hours since I came from a work shift but oh boy, I stayed from 11am until 530pm.
I was able to go around most of the booths and have a quick chat with the exhibitor's. Let me show which one's were my favorite:
Bioessence had a massage service for you to try and looked like a mini-spa.
My intention of joining Blogapalooza 2014 was to connect to brands and a background of their company and service really was important, there were a few that were able to provide very much thought out media kits (information about the company like print outs) and product samples for the blogger to actually experience the service. I find it hard to write about something I haven't experienced yet.

Here are my high five's for their media kit:
The invite tag to join their 7-day challenge campaign definitely gives a strong consideration to female bloggers. |
Small yet meaningful, Sample Room included a very informative pamphlet that would leave a mark on your memory plus the cute packaging. |
Less is more, Caronia Nail products and their media kit in a CD. |
Bioessence entices bloggers to write about them with a free service and a chance to meet Allyson of ANTM and Ace Water Spa provides coupons, a GC and a full press kit which makes it very easy to write about them. |
We also had the chance to experience NIU by Viking's outside of the event and I will definitely post about it separately, here's a teaser in the meantime:
During the event, Blogapalooza participants were serenaded by the band Climax, we got to hear a number of exhibitors to talk about their brand and products and also listen to guest speakers like Maxene Magalona who is now the new endorser for Flawless.
Last year I managed to get a photo op with Mikey Bustos and this year it was Bogart The Explorer, BOOM mate:
Although I enjoyed last year's Blogapalooza much more than this year, I was happy with being able to join the event and by getting a chance to share with you lasses brands that would interest you. I listed down a few that I have chosen to blog about based on my experience with them yesterday.
So in the spirit of blogging, here are a ton of my selfies because you had to do so at most of the booths:

DeleteUu maaga naubos ang kits ng Caronia and Jergens.
Sa Niu exhibit you just make a reservation tapos they would give you a time slot to give you a tour if their resto. :)
Hoping next time we could say Hi hehe.
hi! sayang we didn't get any loots s jergens and caronia. ang hirap din mkpagfrnds s event kc lahat super bc.. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Lee!
DeleteI heard naubos kaagad during mid-day. And that is true ang hirap makahanap ng friends, with the small amount of time to get through all of the booths. Hope to bump into you next year! :)
I didn't get kits from Jergen's and Caronia. But I signed up. Late na kasi, inuna ko yung ibang booths. I'm not sure how I'm going to blog about them. Jergen's gave me a squirt of lotion on my hand, hahahaha, true story!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice meeting you, Marie! :)
Seryoso squirt of lotion?? Hahahaha. Parang "based on the squirt of lotion..." ang magiging post.
DeleteIt was so nice to spend time with you too May.
Sa dami ng tao, di kita nakita Mamanee...sayang yung sa Niu, di namin na try..hehe..:-D
ReplyDeleteNung nakita ko photo mo Lally, I was like: "Si Lally yun ah, sayang..."
DeleteAt dahil kay May kaya ako nakarating ng Niu hehe.
See you sa October 18th!
