Fujifilm PH launches the Memory Lane Album set on March 9 at Function Hall CDE at Crowne Plaza. The event was attended by Fujifilm Celebrity Ambassador Ms. Bea Alonzo, FUJIFILM Philippines Circle of Influencers and executives. Fujifilm gave us our own Memorable Album at the event and we decorated it using the craft materials available at our table.

Last year, FujiFilm Philippines made creating photo albums a lot easier and quicker with the Fuji Photo Diary, and now the company introduces another way to create your photo albums with the Memory Lane album.

The Memory Lane album is a unique instax album made of thick-bordered pages where you can insert your instax prints.

With the Memory Lane album, you can now keep in place that instax photo of your summer vacation in Boracay clad in your bikini or a snapshots of your foodtrip in your favorite resto. Just be creative enough.  Put a bling on each page, buy some colorful washi tapes, markers,  pigment powders and make sure to write a caption in each photos.

“Our mission is to keep memories on hand and make sure that they would be available for future generations to gaze at,” says Takuya Maeda, FUJIFILM Philippines Division Head for Electronic Imaging and Photo Imaging. “Filipinos love taking photos and FUJIFILM acknowledges that. We have endeavored to help them preserve their memories in the best possible way, especially now since it is graduation and summer season, when people really need to keep important memories.”

The Memory Lane album protects precious prints from dust, dirt, moisture and sunlight to reduce fading and ensure that they stand the test of time.

The Memory Lane album is bundled up with the instax Mini 8 and a range of FUJIFILM digital cameras. There are three variants for the Memory Lane album, namely the instax Memory Lane Package that includes an instax Mini 8, pack of film (10 sheets), a Memory Lane album, and a pen marker; the XA3 Memory Lane Package that includes an XA3, instax SHARE SP-2, pack of film (10 sheets), a Memory Lane album, and a pen marker; and the XA10 Memory Lane Package that includes an XA10, instax Mini 7s, pack of film (10 sheets), a Memory Lane album, and a pen marker. fuji memory lane 

After all, that is the essence behind FUJIFILM Philippines’ efforts to capture memories instantly and produce the tangible prints in seconds. Memories are all about celebrations, occasions, and moments spent with family, friends, anyone you hold dear and consider family. And wherever and whenever there is something special you want to make last forever, an instax will be there, on hand and on cue.

Robinsons Supermarket explores Wellness with the "Route to Wellness" campaign

"You are what you eat."

Did you know that what you put on your plate is even more important than what you put on your skin?

According to Samantha Heller, MS, RD, a clinical nutritionist at NYU Medical Center in New York City, "Everything you eat becomes a part of not only your inner being, but the outer fabric of your body as well. The healthier the foods are that you consume, the better your skin will look."

So if you truly want fabulous skin -- glowing, vibrant, and, even younger-looking skin, you should be more conscious about what you put on your plate.

What you eat defines you. Everything you eat becomes a part of not only your inner being, but the outer fabric of your body as well. Eating a well-balanced diet can also help you get the calories and nutrients you need to fuel your daily activities.

Readers Digest Trusted Brands (RDTB) Awards adds 6 new categories

For nearly two decades, the Readers Digest Trusted Brands (RDTB) Awards honored the brands, companies and services that consumers believe in the most.

This year, as the market continues to become more diverse, the Trusted Brands survey adds six new categories to reflect the changing habits of the consumers and to give recognition to the brands they support.

Among the new categories are Bakery/Pastry Shop; Dog Food; Remittance Center; Pawn shop; Coffee Shop/ Café; and Optical Shop.

“For the past 19 years, the Reader's Digest has approached ordinary consumers to ask their opinions on what brands of products and services are important to them.  The addition of these new categories is a reflection of how the market has changed and to acknowledge the new brands,” said Sheron White, ‎Reader's Digest ‎Group Advertising and Retail Sales Director for Asia-Pacific.

“All these years of research experience has given us the confidence to dissect precisely what features a trusted brand must possess in order to maintain relevance and purpose for Asian consumers,” White added.

Trust is an emotion that fuels our decision whether we are conscious of it or not. It is that intangible quality that signals reliability and integrity. Whether it is a product or service, trust is what reassures us that we are making the right choice. It has become such a “high-value” currency that far outweighs the value of any monetary conversion.

Trust is that one factor that remains constant. Once trust is established, it becomes an instinctive response – the consumer buys the brand without so much as a second thought because they can relate to it as "their" brand.   A trusted brand enjoys international appeal, yet at the same time upholds a strong local connection and has become a part of the countries’ culture.

It’s the one crucial element that consumers rely on for their final decision--and with the widespread ubiquity of the internet and social media, the importance of establishing a good reputation has only become more pronounced.

Cost, quality and popularity are all important factors for consumers and as new products constantly enter the market, it is vital for a brand to stay true to its promises. Marketing campaigns may draw the attention of the consumer and catch their fancy, but the products that make it to their homes are still the ones they believe in the most.

“Trust is the ultimate vote of confidence and the mark of a Trusted Brand fosters loyalty and a relationship that goes far beyond price, trends and marketing campaigns,” she pointed out.

 
MOST TRUSTED AND INFLUENTIAL
Now on its 19th year, Reader’s Digest, one of the longest running print publications in the world, will again honor the products and services that Filipinos trust most. The Trusted Brands 2017 Awards ceremony will be held on March 7, 2017 at the ballroom B of the Marco Polo Hotel in Ortigas, Pasig.

Ms. Sheron White, will be personally awarding the trophies to the winners.

For the 2017 Trusted Brand Survey, Readers Digest has commissioned global market research company CATALYST to survey a representative sample of people in the Philippines about the companies they truly believe. The survey covers 50 categories of products and services across a wide range of industries.

Approximately 8,000 individuals were selected across 5 of Asia’s key markets such as the Philippines, HongKong, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.

In the Philippines, 1200 Filipino consumers were surveyed, these respondents were composed of Readers Digest subscribers and residents selected to reflect the demographics of the general population.

Each respondent was required to complete a questionnaire via an online survey.  Queried participants are to mention the name of their most trusted brands and then rate each of brands listed based the following six attributes: Trustworthiness, Credibility, Quality, Value, Understanding of Customer Needs, Innovation and Social Responsibility.  This year the awards will be presented in each of the 50 categories.

GOLD Trusted Brands Awards – will be given to brands that scored significantly higher than their rivals.

PLATINUM Trusted Brands Awards – will be given to brands that performed exceptionally, winning their category with a score that vastly outpolled their nearest competitor.

ASIA TRUSTED Brand Awards will be given to a brand that wins the Reader's Digest Trusted Brand award in the same category for at least three countries surveyed.

Special awards will also be given out to the Most Trusted TV News Presenter; Radio Presenter; Entertainment Presenter as well as Marketing Excellence Awards.
