Blogapalooza 2014

Stoked!--my first time to attend Blogapalooza last October 11 at SMX Aura. So what is Blogapalooza? It is where businesses can network and showcase their products or services to the online community.

Hundreds of bloggers and social media influencers trooped to the whole day event. Plenty of booths were set-up for the sponsors and they were also given time to present their products and services.

I didn’t go to all of the booths, so what I’m going to run down here are the ones I visited. Most of the gimmicks were about taking photos, just like in the booths of View Park Hotel Tagaytay, Ace Hotels & Suites and Caronia.

For My Shopping Box, Chooks To Go and Flawless, you have to participate in games in order to win a prize.

I won 2 gift packs! And I thought I was such a loser in darts :)

There were also booths for registering for Sample Room (www.sampleroom.ph), EatOutManila (www.eatoutmanila.com) and Zap (www.zap.com.ph), which are offering interesting services—I highly encourage everyone to check out their websites.

Some, like Max’s, Crocs, Bioessence, Ysa Skin & Body Experts, Chips Ahoy) gave away promo materials or product samples.

Going hungry while booth-hopping was not a problem since Yellow Cab and House of Lasagna gave away food samples-yum! But what I really enjoyed most is the make-your- own-doughnut gimmick of Krispy Kreme.

My finished product!

Niu by Vikings also had a food tour, which I shall write about in a separate post.

Thank you and congratulations to the event organizers, WhenInManila.com and OurAwesomePlanet.com. Looking forward to Blogapalooza 2015!
