ALEX GONZAGA IS LOVING THE SM
STORE’S CALL TO DELIVER #143SM
The SM Store’s Call to Deliver service has a new face, and a new easy
to remember hotline number. With that,
its new ambassador, television host, actress, and singer Alex Gonzaga highlights Call to Deliver’s hotline number #143SM
(#14376).
Bridging the convenience of on-line
shopping and premium in-store customer assistance, Call to Deliver started out with a few stores in the Vismin area on
April 13, 2020 to be able to assist locked-down customers who would be needing
essential items from the store.
Since then, it has become available
at all SM Stores nationwide. And it’s easy to see why shoppers love SM’s Call to Deliver service. It makes everyone a
little bit special by bringing a new, complete and happy shopping experience to
customers by providing you with your own
personal shopper thru Viber ordering/video call ordering/virtual shopping and
offering multiple payment options that include Cash on Delivery,
Credit/Debit Card, Contactless Payment Options like GrabPay and Gcash, online
payment and even bank transfers. It also accepts SM Gift Cards and SM Sodexo
Gift Passes.
Enjoy your items in
front of your door as SM Call to Deliver delivers
nationwide. Sixty-four (64) branches
of The SM Store are ready to deliver your items the next day after completing
your transaction. Or you may opt to pick-up items at your own convenience
thru the allotted curbside pick-up point.
Alex,
who says she and her family have been SM customers for many years, recalls
trips to Megamall and North EDSA from their home in Taytay, excursions she
considers very much like “a trip to Baguio.” She remembers her Mom bowling at
SM North EDSA, and being proud when she received her Prestige Card.
With
that, as brand ambassador, she is “happy to be part of this family, this brand,
this product that Filipinos have trusted for years. It’s really an honor and
privilege to be part of SM’s new service.”
And
she’s loving this new way to shop as with a personal shopper, “it’s nice to be
able to talk to someone for orders. It feels good if someone can answer your
questions and make some recommendations when you want to buy something.”
Likewise, “knowing that there’s an existing
physical store, gives me confidence that I’m making a legit transaction.” She’s also
delighted that Call to Deliver has multiple payment options, is available at
all SM Stores nationwide and offer delivery and pick-up options.
“It’s like you’re bringing SM Store
inside your home,” she says. “That’s how
convenient it is.
As someone who considers shopping retail
therapy, Alex’s picks include “everyday essentials like toiletries and face
masks, things for the home especially kitchen accessories, gadgets, as well as clothes
from the SM Store’s Call to Deliver
service.”
What’s on Alex’s CTD list for her loved ones?
A comb for fiancรฉ Mikee, an air purifier with humidifier and electric fan for
Mommy Pinty, water spray for plants for Daddy Bonoy, and candle for sister Toni,
and trains or cars for nephew Seve.
The
SM Store Call to Deliver now made even easier!
Just call #143SM (#14376), place
your order with the personal shopper that will be assigned to you and follow
payment instructions, and have your items delivered or arrange store pick up.
The
SM Store Call to Deliver service is part of the SM
Store's continuous commitment to serve the ever-changing needs of its
customers.
