Three ladies set up firm to offer unique creative service - The Star

Jun 22, 2008


THREE ladies came together to share notes on gifts they had been receiving over the years and found that most of the conventional gifts bored them.

Their discussion led to some critical evaluation of the local gift market and sparked a constructive idea to start a business of meaningful creative gifts.

RedRibbon Days was born to offer people a unique way to give meaningful and significant experiences as gifts to their loved ones and friends.

According to Sherin Wong, one of the three plucky company founders, an experience can be anything from a day of pampering in the spa and massages to something more adventurous such as tandem paragliding.

“Gifting is not about the gift on its own. It is also the intent of the gift that matters,” Wong said during the launch of RebRibbon Days by Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal on Thursday in Kuala Lumpur.

Wong, who is styled with, what else, the creative title of “chief experiences officer” of the company, started the business with good friends Nik Hidayati and Tan Ming Nu.

Wong said that the company offered hundreds of experiences in Malaysia to suit every taste, occasion and budget, from RM30 to RM8,000.

These gifts of experiences can be bought in the form of Experience Vou-chers or Range Vouchers, and they can be purchased online or via the phone.

Wong said that they planned to expand the business to Singapore and China within the next six months.

Shafie said in his speech that the company’s creative service would encourage people to cultivate the habit of saying “thank you” in a more meaningful way.

Additionally, entrepreneurship training is vital to those who will eventually be hiring and developing a winning team of workers. After you've completed your course of study, not only will you be able to effectively determine which candidates will be most productive for you and your business, but you will also know how to efficiently finance, manage and market your small business; identify new and opportune business enterprises; and create strategic business plans. http://www.finduniversity.ph/majors/bs-in-entrepreneurship-philippines/
