Techbox Philppines expands into online retail business

MANILA, Philippines - Techbox Philippines, the fastest growing gadget retail chain in the country, is expanding into the online retail segment by launching its official online store, www.techboxhub.com.

“We are launching our online store ahead of schedule because of the overwhelming clamor of people in areas without a Techbox retail outlet. We will also utilize this channel as a convenient way for customers to purchase our bundles and promos,” says Angela Gutierrez, Business Unit Head for Techbox Philippines.

“Our customers will enjoy first-in-the-market products through the Techbox Philippines online shopping site. And what’s more, we will create exclusive bundles for our customers so they can enjoy the most up-to-date gadgets at an affordable price,” added Gutierrez.

Techbox Philippines is known for selling original gadgets at a lower price. The last Techbox Mega Brands Warehouse Sale happened last June 13-15 and grossed over P10million pesos on the first day alone. The sale featured discounts of up to 80% from brands such as Lenovo, Nokia, LG, HTC, Philips, Belkin, and Nikon.

Gutierrez remarked that putting up an online store is a logical progression for Techbox. “Like amazon.com, we want to make online shopping an easy, reliable, and cost-efficient option for Filipinos. And unlike group-buying sites that usually only feature outdated gadgets, Techbox carries the latest, top-of-the-line gadgets and makes them affordable and available for delivery anywhere in the Philippines,” added Gutierrez.

Techboxhub.com’s launch will feature some nifty gadgets that customers should watch out for, including  affordable GoTop HD Action cameras, JBL Bluetooth PlayUp speakers, the elegant Microsoft Surface Pro 2, Nokia Wireless charging plates, and impressive mega deals on Sony products, such as headphones, dock, IC recorders, emergency clock radio, Walkman, and speakers.

The GoTop Action cameras can record up to 120 frames per second to ensure smooth, HD recording. With a 140-degree viewing angle, waterproof housing, and expandable memory, customers can take the HD Action cameras anywhere to record their extreme sports activities. The HD Action camera also comes with five mounting accessories to maximize usability.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 boasts of a multi-touch, scratch-resistant glass, and supports a special, active stylus for input. With its dual-core processor and almost 5GB of RAM, this Windows tablet offers an exceptional alternative to the horde of Android or Apple tablets in the market.

The JBL PlayUp speakers are perfect for people who want to share their music with a group anywhere. With its portable form, NFC pairing capability, and a 1430mAh battery that provides a maximum music playback of up to 10 hours, the JBL Bluetooth speakers allow users to share their tunes with their friends while camping or lounging at the beach.

The Nokia wireless charging plate is a must-have for gadgets enthusiasts who want easy, no-hassle, wireless charging. The plates come in vibrant colors, in a minimalist design. The charging plate is stylish, but virtually disappears once the phone is placed on top of it. The unit is light (only 93g) and energy efficient.

The Sony products on megadeal include Sony headphones that provide high-resolution audio that Sony is known for. Also in the megadeal are Sony mp4 walkman capable of providing 30 hours of uninterrupted music. With its ultra-sleek design, 4GB capacity and FM tuner, it’s the perfect music companion for people on the move.

Sony also features a Bluetooth mp3 speaker with One Touch Connection capability. The speaker enables the user to play music from various sources. Also in the megadeal are Sony’s industry renowned voice recorders. With its sleek, lightweight design, Sony recorders have proven to be indispensable at interviews or meetings.

“We want to serve our customers by providing them with gadgets that are perfect for their lifestyles – whether they’re recording their extreme sports activities using the HD Action cameras, or chilling at the beach and sharing their tunes with their friends thru the JBL Bluetooth speakers, or firing up that quick email while you’re stuck in traffic with your reliable Surface Pro 2 – Techbox Philippines has you covered,” added Gutierrez.

As an added incentive, Techbox will waive the shipping cost to the first 50 customers who will buy from techboxhub.com.  Techbox’s online store will officially open on October 15, 2014.
