A Manila-based online advertising agency has opened its Davao Business Center in the city to offer free advertising to entrepreneurs and cheap advantage cards to the Davaoeños.

Jezer V. Petil, chair chief executive officer of AD-For, said yesterday in the weekly Club 888 forum at Marco Polo Davao Hotel that their business center is located along Wheels and More Drive in Bajada St.

“The business center will help boost the economic activity in the city,” he said.

On the advantage cards, he said the agency targeted to gain at least four consumers on advantage cards from each advertising agent per day. The agency recently hired and trained 50 advertising agents who will be housed in the business center.

He said the city is the first area where the agency decided to jumpstart on rolling out the advantage cards. Each card costs P399. It enables one consumer to get as much as P5, 000 discounts from the agency’s partner firms.

At present, the agency has linked up with Chicco de Café, Hairs and Nails Salon and Francisco Dental Clinic.

The advertising agents will start selling and distributing the advantage cards by Monday. Some of those agents came from Tacloban, Baguio and Cebu where the advantage cards will also be replicated in those areas.

The agency is composed of a team of professional and reputable marketing experts and information technology professionals.
