Livelihood Program Allows Small Entrepreneurs to Sell Products in Landers Superstore Branches

 


The COVID-19 pandemic has affected millions of lives and impacted thousands of businesses in the Philippines and around the world. In a recent press briefing by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), it was reported that approximately 4.6 million Filipinos had been out of work by July this year. According to National Statistician Dennis Mapa, Metro Manila recorded an unemployment rate of 15.8 percent or 929,000 jobless adults while Calabarzon had around 886,000 unemployed residents, followed by Central Luzon with 552,000.

With this rising unemployment rate amidst the COVID-19 crisis, Filipinos are finding every possible means to earn a living. In fact, many are now relying on small business ventures for their family's daily sustenance. Landers Superstore recognizes this resilience of the Filipino spirit and understands that many of the small businesses that started with selling homemade food products, clothes, and other goods will need a bigger platform to reach more customers.

To help and support these small business owners, Landers launched Landers Member Support Program, a livelihood program designed to support small entrepreneurs – from moms who have established a home-based business to online sellers and small business owners – by allowing them to sell and showcase their products in Landers branches in Balintawak QC, Daang Hari Alabang, Otis Manila, Arcovia Pasig, and in Cebu.

The Landers Member Support Program is part of the membership shopping store's Share the Hope campaign, which was launched during the pandemic to bring back hope, joy, and comfort to those who have been affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Through the program, Landers members who run small businesses will be provided with the support and retail space to help them overcome the challenges they face. In the same way, the program also entices existing Landers members to support fellow members in their small businesses.

To join, members can apply at http://bit.ly/landersmsp where they will need to fill out a form with necessary information and upload photos of their products. Applicants will be required to present their company profile and other relevant business documents.

Members can also apply in-store by simply going to the Landers Member Support Program booth where they will have to scan a QR code that will lead them to the application site. Once requirements are met, qualified members will then be given the opportunity and the support they need to sell their products at Landers for one month at no cost.
