Start Your Own Business, the Santé Way - Four Essentials in putting up your own Busines

Tweet

Starting your own business is one of the bravest and most exciting things you can do in your lifetime. But sometimes, it can be a little intimidating, especially when you do not know how and where to begin.  

 

While it can really be challenging, it always pays if you know what you need before entering a new business venture. For Santé, a provider of premier natural and organic health and wellness products and services, these things are guaranteed to be an essential part of your journey to starting and achieving your dream business's success. 

 

Prepare Your Capital 

Your capital would be your financial assets used to generate wealth through investments. There are four types of capital: debt, equity, trading, and working capital. 

 

It would help if you had the capital to keep your business going, and it can come in the form of equipment, human resources, or loans. Without it, or when improperly managed, it can lead to total business failure. 

 

Know Your Market 

You need to know your competition, the people who will buy your products and services, the industry trends, and more to understand better the proper steps you must take to make your business a success. Regardless of the industry, you will be a part of; you can never know everything at the start. 

 

Sell High-Quality Products 

Of course, the success of your business is determined by how much the consumers love your product. When choosing the product you want to sell, make sure it has been proven and tested to assure your business has a higher chance of success and build yourself as a reliable businessman. 

 

Be E-Commerce Ready 

We live in the age of digital technology, and most consumers search online for anything they want and need. Every business needs to adapt to succeed, and staying out of the loop might prevent your business from reaching the desired goal it aims for. 

 

If you are still uncertain about starting your own business, why not reach out to a reliable business partner that will stand beside you every step of the way and lead you to success? After all, there are reliable business partners like Santé that can help you be your own boss.  

 

With its Santé Partnership Program, the company aims to provide new ways to earn income while reaping the benefits of time and financial freedom offered by owning a business. This initiative also defines Santé’s capability to provide extensive market knowledge, high-quality products, e-commerce readiness, among other essential things that can help aspiring entrepreneurs jumpstart their business. First-time business owners also have nothing to fear as Santé will provide daily trainings and seminars online through its Santé Engage platform. 

 

"At Santé, we understand that starting a business is never easy. That is why we initiated the Santé Partnership Program to help aspiring entrepreneurs establish their own businesses. It is also our way of opening opportunities for thousands of people who have lost their jobs due to the current pandemic," said Santé CEO Joey Marcelo. 

 

Santé is one of the fastest-growing distribution and direct selling companies globally. Aside from New Zealand and the Philippines, Santé is present in key cities such as Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Abuja, Lagos, and Cyprus. It offers premier organic health and wellness products and services designed to improve people's quality of life so they can live more and do more.

The link between oral health and overall health has never been clearer: Philips is committed to supporting people’s health across the health continuum for the long term

Tweet

Royal Philips, The importance of oral health – and its relation to overall health – has continued to garner attention across the world. This past month, the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed a resolution to reorient oral healthcare’s traditional approach to a preventative approach with risk identification for timely, comprehensive, and inclusive care that ensures healthy living for broader populations. The resolution underscores that good oral health plays a key role in overall health and wellbeing, and includes an action plan that promotes and integrates disease prevention. It also includes guidance on how WHO Member States can integrate oral health within national policies to ensure good oral health for all. Philips has shared a similar viewpoint for years, and the resolution has now also been backed by various global organizations. 

“Philips is one of the only global health technology companies that’s uniquely positioned to deliver on holistic healthcare solutions across the entire continuum and fully committed to deliver on the quadruple aim,” said Ashwin Chari, country manager of Philips Philippines. “We are committed to fostering discussion on oral health, contributing to the understanding of the connections between oral health and overall health. We are actively  supporting dental professionals in providing patients with the research, tools and knowledge they need to support their health.”

Today, more than a year into the pandemic, people are more attentive, aware and interested in their health and the role of preventative care than ever before. With this comes a greater responsibility for oral healthcare practitioners, industry leaders and researchers to meet patients’ needs and support their health goals.

Despite the surge of interest in preventative oral healthcare since the onset of the pandemic, people have been slow to return to the dental chair . A recent survey reports that 67% of Americans are worried about the negative long-term health consequences of delaying routine dental appointments. 

While seeking treatment through digital health tools is not a replacement for essential, in-person appointments and treatment, it can play a pivotal role in improving patient experiences, addressing social disparities in health by expanding access to care, as well as improving long-term oral health outcomes. Telehealth tools also allow dental practitioners to personalize care while monitoring the progression of oral health conditions like gum disease, or follow up on post-treatment homecare. Philips is committed to improving the holistic health of all lifestyles. Here are some key oral health care tools that anyone can use to instantly take one step forward towards prevention: 

• For an optimal clean, the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 Sonic electric toothbrush (Php10,500.00) removes surface stains and reveals a whiter smile. With its densely packed central stain-removal bristles, it's clinically proven to whiten teeth in just one week. Philips Sonicare's advanced sonic technology pulses water between teeth, and its brush strokes break up plaque and sweep it away for an exceptional daily clean.

• To assist in interdental cleaning, the Philips Sonicare AirFloss Pro/Ultra - Interdental cleaner (Php7,950.00) guarantees healthier gums in just two weeks . Philips’ unique technology that combines air and mouthwash or water to powerfully yet gently clean between teeth and along the gumline. Interproximal cleaning is very important to overall oral health. AirFloss Pro/Ultra is an easy way to clean deeper between teeth, helping to form a healthy habit.

• The Philips Sonicare For Kids Sonic electric toothbrush (Php4,000.00) keeps the little ones engaged while they learn to brush. The bluetooth-enabled toothbrush interacts with a fun app that helps kids brush better and for longer. Kids have fun while learning techniques that will last a lifetime.

“The pandemic has increased people’s interest in their health and further empowered them to proactively seek out ways to improve it,” said Maite Uy, business development manager of Philips Personal Health. “Given the relationship between oral and overall health, maintaining good oral health not only ensures a healthy mouth, but plays an important role in prevention and control of chronic conditions, leading to a healthier life. We will continue to invest in solutions and innovations to support consumers goals in preventative care and oral health.”

Good Oral Health Leads to Benefits Beyond a Healthy Mouth

People today want to be more in control of their own health and are more attuned to getting the support and information they need online, from apps, and from connected products. Yet there are gaps in both their knowledge and daily commitment to good oral hygiene, and they need help along the way. Depending on lifestage, patient’s oral health concerns can evolve from plaque removal and aesthetics to larger concerns around gum health and disease. Too often, by the time they begin thinking about gum health, it’s too late. Multiple studies have revealed linkages between periodontal diseases and certain systemic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease .

Prevention is key. Along with professional deep cleaning, good daily brushing and interdental cleaning are critical. It’s also important for patients to have regular conversations with their dentist about oral health issues and the linkage to their overall health. 

With the worldwide goal of improving the lives of 2.5 billion people a year by 2030, this is just one of the many ways Philips is committed to supporting people’s health across the health continuum for the long term. 

You can get the Sonicare series on the Philips Personal Care’s Shopee and Lazada flagship stores.

First Look: Celebrity Mom Nikki Gil-Albert Gives us a Glimpse of her Life at Home

Tweet

Nikki Gil opens up her home for the first time as she talks about how their life has changed during the pandemic. Not being able to go out to work and socialize, the celebrity-mom shares how she rediscovered her home by turning quarantine time into quality time for her family. Take a closer look and at her home in this exclusive video.

A Shared Social Space for Home Entertainment

Making the most of every opportunity to bond and connect, Nikki shows her favorite spot for the family to hang out - the living room couch. Doing different things and being entertained while still being together has become very special for her. “Someone would be binge-watching Netflix, I would be browsing Instagram, and my son would be on Youtube Kids. I like that while we are all doing our own thing, we are still together, we are still spending time together.”

 

Working and Learning Anytime, Anywhere

Showing her own corner of the house, Nikki shares that she has even enrolled in online art classes to rekindle her love for art. Along with hosting online events, checking important emails, and attending virtual social gatherings, she has really put her home office to good use with the internet playing a vital role for her daily activities. “I’ve realized that strong, stable internet connection has proven to be so important to me the past year. And I’m so grateful that PLDT Home has been so reliable and has been a partner in being productive and staying in touch.”

Equipped with the new PLDT Home WiFi Mesh System, the entire household benefits from strong connections anywhere in the home whether they are using it for entertainment, online classes, web-based meetings, or even preparing meals and deliveries through the internet.

 

Secure Parental Controls

Another aspect of the PLDT Home Wifi Mesh system that is important for Nikki is the Parental Controls. “One of my most favorite features is the Parental Controls. I can block any inappropriate content or website that I don’t want my son to have access to. And, I can limit how long my son can use the device.”

 

Whole Home Coverage

Nikki and her family now enjoys seamless connection anywhere in the house without dead spot issues. The PLDT Home Wifi Mesh system supports 2.4 and 5 GHz capable of providing up to 800 Mbps in a seamless and wide-covering network. This means having a connection all around the home without any delays or dead spots. “You know how you’re walking around the house and you’re streaming something or talking to someone and it just disappears. This solves just that. Wherever you are at home you will have the same WiFi signal,” Nikki shares.

Catch the full video here and discover how the new PLDT Home WiFi Mesh System can boost connections the way it has helped Nikki enjoy better productivity at home.

You can get your own PLDT Home Wifi Mesh system for as low as Php 298 per month for a starter kit which comes with two (2) mesh units. Visit www.pldthome.com/wifimesh to know more.
