Diamond Indulgence, Privilege Card of Diamond Hotel

Tonight, I discovered the true meaning of indulgence during the launch of the Diamond Indulgence , a privilege card of Diamond Hotel at the ballroom of Diamond Hotel. (View photos of Diamond Indulgence launch) It’s about time Diamond Hotel offered this privilege card to the public. In the past , my husband and I purchased hotel privilege cards from the Manila Peninsula, Mandarin Hotel and Marriot Hotel in Cebu. The benefits of having such a card is very beneficial especially if one entertains or travel on business trips and need hotel accomodations.

The recurring thought of frequent privilege card users is “How unique is this card?”

What breaks the new ground is the myriad of options that lets member choose whatever indulgence catches their fancy. Diamond indulgence’s slew of boutiques, restaurants, resorts, products and services lined up makes it your own passport to unparalleled shopping, dining and recreation.

Now that is something totally different. Most hotels only give privileges within their hotel facilities.

So what is in the Diamond Indulgence Members Kit?

Clear Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Product Launch

Why is there a need to launch another anti-dandruff shampoo?

Would you believe that 44% of Filipinos suffer from dandruff? That’s why there is a new player in the anti-dandruff shampoo market niche. This time, there are more varieties to choose from. There is a unisex range with four shampoo and two conditioner variants as well as a men’s range with three shampoo options designed to address specific hair and scalp needs.

Usually my deepest fear is that anti-dandruff shampoos can cause more harm than good. No fear. Clear’s revolutionary use of Zinc Vitanols moisturizers the hair and scalp to effectively remove dandruff without drying out the hair. This is good news because dandruff is a recurring problem and an anti-dandruff shampoo needs to to be used daily to prevent dandruff from coming back.

Amor Maclang led the PR marketing campaign of this new product at the Renaissance Hotel in Makati City today. As usual, Geiser Maclang Marketing Communications, Inc. (GeiserMaclang) mesmerizes the traditional and new media with their fantastic presentation of Clear.

Wearing black is often avoided by anti-dandruff sufferers. So the launch presented a fashion show of black clothes from different designers like Folded and Hung, Viktor, Kate Torralba and Puey Quinones. The surprise from GeiserMaclang starts at the dining hall where white themed table cloths dominated the room. When we were told to enter the bubble tent where we watched the fashion show, we were expected to see the transformation. Oh yes, when we got back the tablecloths were in black.

I enjoyed the unique and surprising product launch of Clear . As a new new media publisher, it is not often I attend press events but I am sure this is one of the most memorable events even for traditional media. Take a tour of the Clear Anti-dandruff shampoo product launch by viewing photos of the event.
