YAMAHA Zamboanga Opening

The Grand Opening of Yamaha Zamboanga 3S Shop is the first big event that we organized in Seed Interactive so far. The owner of the Yamaha 3s Shop is a close relative of mine and she asked our help to organize the event and produce the materials for the promotion. The opening was held last July 11, 2010 at the Yamaha 3S Shop Building located at Nuñez Extension. 3S stands for Sales, Service and Spare parts which Yamaha offers to the riders of Zamboanga. The opening started with a big blast where the dancers of Don Pablo Lorenzo Memorial High School graced a festive street dance with their vivid costumes. They surely made noise and captured the attention of the passengers along the Nunez Ext. The fun continued the whole day. A free bike wash was going on at the Service center which was escorted by some beautiful models of Zamboanga. While the models were busy in the bikewash, people were also enjoying the free test rides for Yamaha motorbikes and scooters. I tried one scooter but i had hard time because of the small space but the Yamaha employees were very accomodating. It was fun testing the scooter and we also received free Yamaha caps. There was also a free oil change for Yamaha motorcycles. That was just the pre-opening of the 3s store. The day after, we started the grand opening with a motorcade. The people were very receptive as they enjoy the beautiful float with beautiful models riding the bikes. At the building we were preparing the set up, from sounds to flowers to cocktails. When the motorcade finally stopped at the location, we started the opening program with our special guests from Yamaha Philippines, including Mr. Yoshiaki Takeda, the President of YAMAHA Philippines. At the lobby, the building was blessed through the singing of hymns and prayers. The cutting of the ribbon was done by the owner and the president. Inside the very modern and hip 3S Shop, the program continued with Karen Grafia and DJ Chinito as the emcees. The pride of Zamboanga in the talent show Talentadong Pinoy, DJ Busted entertained the audience with a reverberating beatbox number. Ms. Perez, the owner manager of the Yamaha Zambaonga 3S Shop gave her welcoming remarks and Mr. Takeda gave a brief speech. According to the President, the event was beyond their expectation. It set a new standard for Yamaha 3S shops in the Philippines. He said that the grand opening of Yamaha Zamboanga is like a mini Y-Zone, a grand Yamaha festival celebrated by the Yamaha 3S Shops. After the short program, cocktails were served while the bike wash, test rides and oil change were still conducted. The fun didn’t stop there. In the evening, we prepared a lineup of events that will surely entertain the Zamboanguenos. The fashion models of Zamboanga walked their way in the catwalked showcasing the collection of Yamaha Lifestyle Apparels. The shirts were very modern, chic and very in these days. Ranging from metallic prints to fashionable jackets. XC Fusion and AI Dancers also heated up the dancefloor with their hot dance numbers. They also danced through the beat of the popular jingle of Yamaha “Happy Happy Vega.” Stand up comedians, Pokemon and Pugo, also entertained the audience with their humor that really left our stomachs aching from an hour of laughter. And when they thought fun ended there, the famous Zamboanga band, Comic Relief, jammed the rest of the night with their popular chavacano songs and rock and roll music. It surely was a fun night. It was a huge success for the Yamaha Zamboanga 3S Shop and our team for pulling out a grand event. Im so proud to be one of the organizers coz we did not only reached the standards of a YAMAHA event, we also raised the bar to another level. We didn’t only welcomed the world-class brand and service to Zamboanga, we also showcased the talents of Zamboanga. As part of the Seed Interactive team, I want to thank ate Judith for entrusting this event on us and I wish the best to Yahama Zamboanga 3s shop.
