From February 10 to 14, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Romblon, through Negosyo Center Odiongan, organized Love Lane: Showcasing Local Flavors, Crafts, and Wellness, a weeklong initiative celebrating Love Month. Unlike previous years, when the last edition lasted only one to two days, this yearโs expanded initiative brought even more opportunities for MSMEs to gain exposure, learn new skills, and boost their sales.
This yearโs edition went beyond simply showcasing local products. Rooted in DTIโs core value of synergy, we partnered with other offices such as Odiongan Rural Health Unit with regards to reproductive health, understanding that a healthy community lays the foundation for a stronger business landscape. DICT Romblon discussed an array of programs and services tailored for MSMEs, while DTI Romblon shared marketing strategies to help entrepreneurs boost their sales throughout the event.
To further empower MSMEs and aspiring entrepreneurs, we conducted hands-on demonstrations, including a Techno-Demo on Tofu and Soya Drink Making, a Pop-Up Bar Experience & Cocktail Mixing Workshop, and a Baking Demonstration. As always, we were thrilled to put the spotlight on an impressive range of local food and non-food products, giving our homegrown businesses a chance to shine and connect with a wider audience.
Thanks to everyoneโs efforts, Love Lane generated over 180,000 in total sales. This is an indication of the dedication of our local entrepreneurs and the steadfast support of our partners in this initiative.
