Suzuki Philippines Inc. (SPH), the country’s pioneer compact car distributor, officially welcomed the Suzuki S-Presso Club (SSCP) to the Suzuki family last August 5, 2021. The announcement was made through a virtual recognition event held online, attended by members of the Suzuki Team and the Suzuki S-Presso Club.
Members in attendance included Vice President and General Manager of Suzuki’s Automobile Division, Mr. Keiichi Suzuki, members of the SPH Marketing Team, and of course, members of the now officially accredited Suzuki S-Presso Car Club, headed by their President, Mr. Jasper Jerome Handog.
The S-Presso, which was launched in March 2020, received impressive market feedback having sold a total of 3,897 units as of July 2021. This led to an effort that began last July 12, 2020 with only 4 members, the Suzuki S-Presso Car Club (SSCP) now has amassed a total of 616 members, with 2 active chapters in Bicol and Cavite. The club was created with the aim of providing special perks for members, local partner businesses and/or car dealerships, while in turn, promoting Suzuki’s popular and unique compact hatchback. A little over a year later, they are now the official SPH accredited and recognized Suzuki S-Presso Car Club in the Philippines.
“As we are truly delighted to officially have the Suzuki S-Presso Club on board as our Brand Ambassadors,” Mr. Keiichi Suzuki shared with members of the during the event, “I am very much amazed as to how we have continuously expand and grow the Suzuki family over the years. Together, as one family, we will continue to find avenues to champion the Suzuki Way of Life!”
A Certificate of Recognition was awarded to SSCP during the virtual recognition event, with SPH promising additional support to the club’s future plans, including continuous support for SSCP events and activities, annual Christmas party events, digital promotions and service referrals to Suzuki dealerships. Additionally, SSCP members were able to enjoy sumptuous Japanese food together with the SPH Marketing team and Suzuki merchandise sent to them during the event in lieu of the usual get-together.
