Tekkie Tekkie Muna (I wanna ponder into the near future, baka masyado akong nagmamadali sa kasalukuyan ay nakakalimutan ko na ang mangarap para sa aking kinabukasan), did you know that we can get a freebie from Epson. We might be so engrossed with buying we forget that the best things in life are free. If only we know where to look for those freebies.
Epson, a world leader in digital imaging solutions and also an established OEM stationery label printer maker, will give away their stylish and well-designed LabelWorks label printers to customers who will buy a set of LabelWorks tape cartridges.
From October 12 to November 30 this year, customers who buy five (5) tape cartridges will get the Epson LW-300; customers who will purchase seven (7) tape cartridges will receive the Epson LW-400, while a purchase of 9 tape cartridges will get the Epson LW-900P for free.
The Epson LabelWorks printers are ideal for homes, small offices home offices (SOHO), and small and medium businesses (SMB) for labeling anything from household items, scrapbooks, school books to stationery items, archival files and documents. They can also be used to print on cable wraps and iron-ons that are part of the large variety of media Epson offers for the Epson LabelWorks printers. Industries like logistics, manufacturing, and building management will also benefit from the ability of the Epson LW-400 and LW-900P to print barcodes for tracking inventories.
“One of the fun things our customers can do with our label printers is the creative use of tape cartridges. We want to encourage our customers to try the varied label media available to them and unleash their creativity,” said Epson Head of Product Management Noelle Gonzalez.
Participating shops for this promo include: Fujitsu (SM Megamall), Silicon Valley (SM Manila), PC Corner (Park Square and Gilmore), and PC Chain (Viramall and SM North).

The season of giving is fast approaching. We all want to give out the best gifts for our loved ones and for ourselves. But, let's admit it that all year round we have those nifty items suddenly popping in our heads; when we go to the mall, when we surf the net, etc. We covet for a spanking new item that caught our eyes: a fancy dress, a lavish sports car, or a posh dream house. Sounds impossible to have that? There is an app that is created to help us reach our goals by reminding us the amount we need to get that special something.
