DiGi Rewards Premium Customers Up to RM1 Million

Tom and Jerries? No... it's Tom Schnitker and the CRM gang from DiGi.

I don't feel like writing my own story today. So just cut and paste the release from DiGi which i attended the launch this morning.

SHAH ALAM, 20 February 2009 -- DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd ("DiGi") continues to build momentum with its innovative enhancements towards customer service for its premium value customers. By 9 March 2009, DiGi Priority Service will be offering personalised service assistance for both postpaid and prepaid customers.

DiGi's Chief Commercial Officer Tom Schnitker explained: "We are very proud of our current service offerings, which continue to generate great feedback from our customer base. Looking to the future, we are very focused on driving innovative service as a key part of our value proposition in an increasingly competitive market.

"We started with the launch of DiGi360' concept store last November; today, DiGi Priority Service continues to build on our service-oriented strategy by rewarding our existing premium and long tenure customers with relevant and critical services delivered right to their doorstep."

Membership to DiGi Priority Service is by invitation, with customers being selected based on their monthly usage, payment record, and their length of tenure as a DiGi customer. For instance, DiGi customers of five years can qualify as Silver Priority Customers if they have a monthly bill of at least RM100. The subsequent tiers are Gold and Platinum. Across the three tiers of priority services, these customers will enjoy higher credit limits and a guaranteed 1-day SIM card replacement at no cost, delivered to their doorstep.

Customers, who qualify for the top tier, Platinum Priority, can call upon DiGi Priority Mobile Consultants to provide assistance and solve any mobile technical issues at the customers' location. These customers can also enjoy complimentary travel insurance up to RM1 million, enjoy service assistance in booking their holiday trips, and renting chauffeur-driven limousines, among many other privileges. More information can be found at www.digi.com.my/priority

In support of DiGi's climate change initiative, Deep Green, qualifying DiGi customers will receive an SMS inviting them to join, rather than sending them physical cards that identify them as DiGi Priority Customers.

Meanwhile, DiGi customers will continue to benefit, as before, from its highly attractive reward programmes, such as reload bonus, birthday bonus, mobile vouchers for discounts, and free calls to DiGi hotline.

Hari yang Penat

Dalam kekalutan dek rutin kerja dan material deadline yang begitu ketat, aku berjaya menyelitkan diri dalam dua acara pelancaran pada paginya.

Di acara PANASONIC, aku turut menyaksikan mereka melancarkan 10 unit kamera digital dan 10 unit camcorder. Aku sempat juga merakamkan detik pelancaran (gambar di atas) dengan menggunakan kamera PANASONIC LUMIX FX 38 aku kerana lensa 25mm wide angel nya walau pada jarak yang dekat. Cuma sayangnya aku tak berkesempatan nak mengikuti keseluruhan acara itu kerana terpaksa bergegas ke satu lagi acara yang tidak kurang pentingnya, iaitu pelancaran kedai ACER di Mid Valley. Walau bagaimana pun, pada awalnya lagi aku dah uruskan seorang rakan setugas berada di setiap lokasi agar tugasan dapat dilaksanakan di kedua-dua acara.

Sesampai di acara ACER, mujur aku masih berkesempatan mengabdikan beberapa rakaman untuk kegunaan penerbitan majalah kelak.

Yang penting pada hari ini adalah yang dikejar dapat, yang dikendong tak keciciran... malah petangnya sempat aku menghadiri satu lagi pertemuan dengan pelanggan di Jalan Ipoh. Tapi yang kurang syoknya perjalanan dari Jalan Ipoh ke rumah amat memenatkan. Bagi memulihkan tenaga, aku terpaksa melelapkan mata sejenak kat stesen petrol sebelah lebuhraya. Sesampai di rumah, mujur masih sempat menyaksikan program TV kegemaran, CSI Las Vegas new session di AXN.

EXORA - MPV Pertama Nasional - MPV Mampu-milik

Orang kuat Proton, Pengerusinya Dato' Mohd. Nadzmi Bin Mohd. Salleh (kiri) dan Pengarah Urusannya, Dato' Haji Syed Zainal Abidin Bin Syed Mohamed Tahir (kanan) semasa penyampaian hadiah kepada pemenang utama menamakan MPV Proton - EXORA.

Agaknya guru dari Kedah, Norsholihan Bt Abd Eanich, 29 (tengah) merupakan orang yang paling gembira kerana akan memenangi sebuah kenderaan pelbagai guna (MPV) - EXORA dari Proton Holdings Berhad, bila ia diedarkan sekitar April 2009 ini.

Beliau adalah salah seorang peserta yang berjaya daripada 251,763 penyertaan melalui peraduan menamakan MPV nasional pertama yang dianjurkan awal tahun ini. Kemenangan Norsholihan yang akan membawa pulang MPV bernilai lebih kurang RM80,000 ini adalah kerana juri tertarik dengan slogan penyertaannya yang berbunyi "Keriangan Keluarga".

Kepada sesiapa yang berminat dengan EXORA yang ditawarkan dalam 5 warna pilihan - silver, hitam, blue haze, coklat dan gaia blue ini, boleh mula membuat tempahan seawal Sabtu, 21 Feb 2009.


Nota Kaki: aku bermonolog ketika nama MPV ini diumumkan... barangkali nama EXORA adalah gabungan antara perkataan "EXOTIC + IXORA" yang jika diterjemahkan secara langsung membawa maksud sejenis bunga ixora yang amat luar biasa/unik. Adakah nama ini sengaja dipilih dengan bunyinya tiga suku kata agar ia mampu bersaing seangkatan dengan Innova, Avanza, Livina, Picasso, Estima, Serena, Odyssey dan lain-lain lagi? Emmm... lu fikiq la sendiri! (i'm sorryyy...)

Valentine's Day Tips - 99 Ways to Show your LOVE

February is a month that makes us think of romance and love: the romantic love of valentine's day...

Romantic? What is romantic?
Is it when I give you flowers during Valentine's Day?
When I give you a gorgeous dinner?
Or is it when I simply say, "I love you"?

"I love you"
But how...???

Let's see what the Bible says about love...
Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.
(I Corinthians 13:4-8,13)

What does the Hadith say about love?

"God loves kindness when you deal with any matter"
(narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)

"You will not enter Paradise until you have faith and you will not have faith until you love one another. Do you want me to tell you something you can do to make you love one another? Make it a habit to greet one another with "Asalamualaikum " - peace upon you".
(narrated by Muslim)

"Give gifts to each other, as this will make you love one another." (narrated by Muslim)

Sayed Munawar, Pengacara DLL (kiri)
Prof Dato Dr Noor Azlan Ghazali, Pengarah MDI JPM (tengah)
Dato Badlisham Ghazali, Ketua Eksekutif MDEC (kanan)

Semalam (emmm... 1 pagi tadi) aku bersempatan menonton siaran ulangan Di Luar Lingkungan siri ke-5 yang dikeudarakan secara langsung pada 2 Feb 2009 itu. Dengan bantuan alat teknologi yang seadanya, aku merakamkan siaran tersebut dengan menggunakan 2 unit kamera digital. Tapi sayangnya, video tersebut tak dapat dilampirkan di laman ini atas masalah teknikal. Walau apapun, jika anda ingin menonton rakaman tersebut, jemputlah ke laman sesawang RTM.

Aku menerima pelbagai reaksi daripada rakan dan saudara mara yang menonton sebelum ini. Pendek kata, komen yang cukup memberangsangkan dan menyuntik semangat untuk aku terus buat yang lebih baik. Jika diberi peluang, sesungguhnya aku ingin muncul lagi di DLL atau mana-mana program yang sewaktu dengannya.
