Baby Company had the biggest and grandest baby fair at the SMX Convention Center Clark, Pampanga

 

Last May 12-14, 2023, Baby Company had the biggest and grandest baby fair at the SMX Convention Center Clark, Pampanga. Expectant and new moms near and far gathered to shop for all kinds of essentials – from toiletries, diapers, clothes, toys, car seats, cribs, strollers, and many more – at unbeatable markdowns and offers.

Filipino fiesta drumbeat performances and decorations greeted the families as they entered the #GrandBabyFair2023. Held at the three-hall venue were several booths arranged per category, eight dedicated counters that accepted different modes of payment, and a four-room breastfeeding area with automatic breast pumps for moms who needed a quick break in the middle of their shopping spree. 

 

With the wide selection of items sold at incredible deals at #TheBiggestBabySaleEver, families and their relatives left the place satisfied and looking forward to the next one. Upon exit, the first 100 shoppers scored a free UV Daimaru UV sterilizer for a single-receipt purchase worth P8,000. 

 

They also received a free Wow Bag full of exciting baby items and 0% interest 6 months installment for a single receipt purchase of P6,000. In addition, they were given P1,000 Mom Card points for a single receipt purchase of P10,000. The Mom Card served as the shoppers’ passport to getting a Wow Bag and points in the fair.

 

Simultaneously ongoing during the #GrandBabyFairClark was the brand booth tour hosted by DJ Mama Colleen via the company’s Facebook livestream as well as the online sale at their website. Families not only got products at the lowest prices but also a Wow Bag containing trusted baby brand products for a purchase of at least P6,000 in one checkout. On top of that, they were entitled to free shipping within Metro Manila for a minimum spend of P10,000 – no Mom Card needed.

 

When asked if she was able to get everything on her shopping list for her soon-to-be-born child, Bernadette Samson shares with a smile, “Nakuha naman namin lahat. Actually, second na naming baby fair. Quota na kami.”

 

Mommy Cristine Manalo raves, “Mga bundles para maramihan na ‘yung discount na makukuha!” when questioned about what specific deals she liked about the fair.
