2GO Express Widens Delivery Coverage Ahead of the Holidays
2GO Express is geared up to deliver to more areas and more customers
across the Philippines ahead of the holiday rush and even beyond given the
e-commerce boom in the country.
To date, 2GO
Express serves 95% of the online population nationwide. The company is looking
to widen its coverage in support of social sellers, which increased
exponentially during the pandemic.
“The Philippines
is actually a very strong market for e-commerce, and that includes your MSMEs
(micro, small, and medium enterprises). Everyone would gravitate towards the
larger platforms, but we are also seeing a growing number of social sellers and
monobrands, and they’re localized,” said Honeylyn Sanchez, 2GO Express Senior
Corporate Sales Manager for E-Commerce.
“We have seen Micro-enterprises
like social sellers continuously growing in the Philippines for the past two
years, and we intend to ride on that wave. Social sellers make an impact on
retail businesses online,” she added.
Currently, 2GO
Express services more than 33,000 or over 75% of all barangays nationwide and
is looking to grow this in the coming months through various key investments.
This includes more omnichannel solutions to be rolled out for shippers, as well
as their customers and consignees.
“We have been
growing our service coverage and reliability, especially in the provinces, by
setting up more hubs to speed up deliveries, as well as adding close to 1,000
drop-off locations – a hybrid of owned and third-party outlets – so that
customers have more touchpoints,” said Xervin Maulanin, 2GO Express AVP for
Product Development.
2GO Express is
one of the few last-mile delivery companies in the Philippines to utilize an
automated sortation machine, which makes deliveries more efficient through an
enhanced data capture system by segregating parcels and packages down to the
barangay level.
To even liven up
the holidays, 2GO Express launched its Pasko,
Delivery, Panalo raffle promo. Customers just need to head to a
participating 2GO outlet to book a delivery. Each transaction garners a raffle
entry.
Lucky customers
get a chance to win one of either a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7, Samsung Galaxy A03
Smartphone, a Sail and Stay package to Cebu and Boracay from 2GO Travel, or an
SM Gift Pass worth Php5,000.
The promo runs until
January 24, 2023.
In addition,
those who book deliveries in 2GO outlets at SM Mall of Asia, SM Manila, and SM
Fairview can have their gift items wrapped free for every transaction
made until January 5, 2023
