Around neighbourhood malls and street-adjacent shops, the winners are not always the loudest advertisers. They are the ones who can still message people when rains flood plans and people stay put.
Myth vs reality: qr marketing in Manila
Myth: “If we just post more, Manila will show up.” Reality: mall-centric commerce and rain delays means attention is fragmented, and weather and traffic stacking delays punishes brands without an owned list.
Myth: “Push is spammy.” Reality: spam is unsolicited. Opt-in lock-screen alerts are requested updates — especially useful when rains flood plans and people stay put.
Myth: “We need a custom app.” Reality: Klikr turns walk-ins and site visits into an owned audience with delivery and tap analytics in one place.
