Johnson’s AskOurMoms: the newest online partner of moms

 

Johnson’s Baby launches industry-first Facebook Chatbot in the Philippines to digitally connect mothers.

This month, Johnson's demonstrates how powerful connections among moms help new moms be the best mothers to their babies, through the Johnson's AskOurMoms on Messenger.  

Created with respected mombassadors and experienced mothers, the “mothers for mothers platform” offers baby-rearing advice and personalized product recommendations from celebrity moms, such as Divine Lee, Anne Curtis-Smith, and Bianca Gonzalez, who share inside information on Johnson’s products, deals, and baby care tips.  

Developed to give moms a more interactive consumer experience, the Johnson's AskOurMoms is an industry-first digital innovation that offers not only one-click access to Anne, Bianca, and Divine's baby recommendations, but also a wealth of personal baby product selections, uses and descriptions, virtual shopping on a single thread, and online-only discounts and special e-commerce promotions.

Says Crismer Tiria, associate marketing director for Johnson’s Baby: “Today’s mothers are very resourceful.  They actively seek advice from other moms and search for information online to broaden their knowledge and ensure that they are giving their babies the best care possible.  With this innovation, we hope to bring the brand and our mombassadors closer to moms through an online resource that empowers them.  Ultimately, this novel solution will also educate them about the full range of Johnson’s products that are scientifically developed to provide the best baby care possible.s

Says John Rubio, Philippine country director at Meta, “We are seeing fundamental shifts in how people and businesses connect. There is a real demand for people to have direct communication lines with businesses. Through Meta’s business messaging solutions, Johnson's AskOurMoms provides Filipina moms with helpful information, useful products, tips, and most importantly, an online support community that enables them to be the best moms they can be to their children.”

Sugar shortage? Make life sweeter with Stevia!

The country has been undergoing a sugar shortage for the past few months, causing sugar prices to soar. The price surge of this kitchen staple has affected the purchasing power of Filipinos, who are already having difficulty coping with inflation. Given how sugar is a key ingredient in most dishes, many people have struggled to make their lives and dishes sweeter.

Fortunately, there’s a healthy alternative that can help solve Filipinos’ sugar woes. Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It is 300 times sweeter than sugar but has zero calories and does not cause spikes in blood sugar levels. It is better than chemical-based artificial sweeteners because it does not have any aftertaste or carry potential health risks.

This wonder plant can be used for baking, as a food enhancer for cooking, and to sweeten hot and cold drinks without guilt. What’s great about Stevia is how it sweetens food and beverages naturally, unlike sugar which has been linked to obesity and diabetes. Moreover, Stevia is considered nonglycemic, meaning it does not affect one’s blood pressure levels.

Given these health benefits, swapping Stevia with refined sugar can be a complete game changer for people who want to make healthier food and beverage choices and maintain a healthy weight range.

Understanding Stevia’s potential to address Filipinos’ sugary dilemma, Glorious Industrial & Development Corporation (GIDC), also known as the Stevia Company, launched a lineup of naturally-sweetened and healthy beverages. GIDC, the Stevia Company’s line-up of products under its Glorious brand, includes the Glorious 3in1 Premium Coffee and Glorious Iced Tea Mixes and the Sweet & Fit Stevia Tea.

“We understand how important sweetness is to Filipinos’ taste palette,” said Ms. Au De Leon, president, and CEO of GIDC, The Stevia Company. “By making Glorious available nationwide, we want to empower more Filipinos to discover a healthier way to make their lives sweeter.”

The company’s latest products are not only good for one’s body, but they taste great too. Hence, people don’t need to sacrifice flavor to care for their health. All Glorious beverages are sweetened with Stevia, and every teaspoon of Stevia is equivalent to three teaspoons of refined sugar.

Glorious Premium 3in1 Coffee Mix is a delicious coffee blend sweetened with Sweet & Fit Stevia. It is recommended for people with sugar-related concerns, weight watchers, and other health-conscious individuals. Sweet & Fit Stevia has zero calories, zero fat, zero sodium, zero carbohydrates, and zero cholesterol.

People who want to control their sugar intake can now sweeten up their lives and favorite fruit teas with Glorious Iced Tea Mixes. This product comes in three flavors: Red Berries, Lemon, and Cucumber. Meanwhile, Sweet & Fit Stevia Tea can be used to make other hot or cold beverages together with non-dairy milk or fresh fruits for a healthy little pick-me-up.
