Over 5,652 registered Kanegosyo and Rewards Plus card members from Davao, Tagum City and Davao del Norte attended the annual congress last week, exceeding gate attendance from last year’s 4,062, in an event where wholesalers get exclusive rates and packages they can use for their businesses.
On its last day, the Negosyante Awards, held at NCCC Mall Davao’s Activity Center, handed plaques of recognition and various gift items. Award hosts were Asia’s Pop Idol Christian Bautista and Una Ka Bai’s news anchor Sarah Hilomen.
“Nalipay ko sa benepisyo nga nakuha nako sa padayon nakong pamalit sa NCCC,” said Moralina Cabuntia, a loyalty awardee who, with Julieta M. Subang and Alme C. Amion, regularly purchases 90% of their store inventory from NCCC Supermarkets.
Davao City residents’ Annabelle Repulles and Ma. Leynette B. Reyes as well as Angelito E. Mendez from Tagum City received the power purchases award. These awardees posted high percentage growth in their purchases in 2009.
Kanegosyo members who have achieved the highest growth in purchases within the shortest period are Virgie Escoton, Ronulfo L. Polentinos from Davao City and Amily Araneta from Tagum City.
Now on its 10th year, the NCCC’s Kanegosyo Congress is an exclusive event held yearly for the chain’s loyal cardholders. The four day event started September 15 with Mayor Sara Z. Duterte leading the ceremonies.
The mayor said the growth of the city depends a lot on entrepreneurs who move an area’s economic activities, “dili lang para sa garantisado ang inyong pag-asenso kung dili para sa benepisyo nato tanan,”
she said.
Also awarded were 30 NCCC Supermarket wholesalers from Davao and Tagum cities, while NCCC Department Store honored 10 awardees.
Hardwaremaxx, Breadfactory, and HB1, the youngest chain outlets in the NCCC Group, will honor 10 and five awardees, respectively, with HB1 set to honor five wholesalers and five sari-sari store owners.
