COFFEE-MATE COMMUNICATES



I’m glad that ad agency McCann Erickson recently launched a second version of Nestle’s Coffeemate television commercial with the young married couple having an afternoon snack.

This time, it’s the husband doing the same nonverbal communication to his wife, signaling his approval of sticking to coffee with Coffeemate instead of the rich merienda choices on the table.

Of course, the first frames highlighted the husband’s "coughing out" his disapproval of his wife’s starting on totally calorific snack options. Many term this an "ehem," a subtle attempt of calling someone’s attention.

I especially like the apparent readiness of the wife whose attention is being called to modify her actions, even if her palate vehemently disagrees.

Before this new second version appeared on TV last week, a number of my friends articulated their husbands’ feeling that the husband in the first commercial seemed overly cowed by the wife to acquiescence.

Precisely because the creative device was to communicate the classic goodness of Coffeemate without having to utter a word, what first tumbled out was the unspoken "Makuha ka sa tingin!" (You better know what’s good for you just by looking at me!). Ooops, dangerously offensive to the male ego, if you ask me.

Then, last week, we all interpreted that it was apparently part of McCann’s strategy of husband and wife’s intimate perfect communication without the need for words. It was great that we now have two versions, where wife and husband alternate with sender-of-message roles. It would be good to regularly bicycle the two versions. That’s a great Nestlé strategy of appropriate marital wellness, you might say.

Director Lyle Sacris of production house Abracadabra and Director Henry Frejas of Filmex must themselves be used to employing nonverbal communication in their own life scenarios, considering their hectic lifestyles. It’s generally more difficult to send a message without the use of words and I must congratulate the two directors for good timing and pacing, and catching the precise facial expressions of both the sender of the message and the receiver of the message.

In real life though, let’s enrich one another’s lives with grabbing and maximizing every opportunity for great loving communication. It’s amazing how we can heal hurts or revive and enliven an otherwise drab day for family and friends. "It is the vitality of faith that tells us that the place of communicating, for loving, for sheltering, for trying, is right where we are."

Hot cups of coffee and Coffeemate are indeed beautiful companions for extended stimulating conversations specially during these days of pouring rains.

NESTLEGOSYO IN UNANG HIRIT
VO: Mga jeep sa kalsada, si mamang sorbetero at ang magtataho. Ilan lamang ito sa mga simbolo ng kulturang Pinoy. At siyempre, mawawala ba naman ang sari-sari store? Bukod sa nakapagbibigay ito ng dagdag kita sa pamilya, malaing ginhawa din ito at malaking tulong sa buong barangay. Salamat sa Nestlegosyo na tumutulong sa mga sari-sari stores na higit na mapaunlad ang negosyo.
Lita Feño (store owner): Di na kailangan ng matagalang seminar upang matutunan ang Nestlegosyo. Natutunan ko na hindi mahirap magbenta, maraming tips na naibigay sakin upang mas mainam akong makapagtinda sa loob ng isang araw.
Elbert Sheng (Channel Manager -- Small Store Format): Maraming tindahan ngayon na nais umangat sa iba. Sa simpleng pagdisplay ng maayos, ito ay nakakaattract ng customers at sa pamamagitan ng complimentary selling, halimbawa kapagbumili ng tinapay pwede nilang alukin ng kape. Sa gayon nadodoble nila ang kanilang transaction at mas malaki ang kita ng tindahan. Pangatlo, dapat ipresyo ng tama ang produkto nasa presyong abot kaya. Importante din na hindi sila nauubusan ng stocks at higit sa lahat, siguruhing malinis at bago ang paninda. At iyan din ang ilan sa mga natututunan nila sa Nestlegosyo.
Lita Feño: Malaki talaga ang naitulong sakin ng Nestlegosyo sa aking kita at kabuhayan. Dahil sa practical tips, natutunan ko ang Nestlegosyo, naayos ko ang tindahan ko. Ngayon, lagi itong malinis, maayos ang display at laging bago ang mga produktong tinda ko. Mas dumami ang suki ko at mas lumago ang sari-sari store ko.
VO: Basta't may sipag at pagpupursigi at sa tulong ng Nestlegosyo, di malayong makamit ang pagunlad.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
VO: Jeeps on the street, the iconic ice cream street vendor, and the soy pudding vendor. These are just a few of what symbolizes Pinoy culture. The list wouldn't be complete however, without the variety store? Aside from providing income to families, it also provides convenience to the entire community. Thanks to Nestlégosyo that helps variety stores improve their business.
Lita Feño (store owner): There's no need for long seminars to understand how Nestlegosyo works. I learned that it isn't hard to sell. I get plenty of tips on how to sell more everyday.
Elbert Sheng (Channel Manager -- Small Store Format): There are plenty of stores that want to succeed above the rest. Simple things like putting up neat displays attract more customers. Complimentary selling also helps, like when a consumer buys bread, store owners can offer coffee. This way, they can double their transaction and earn bigger income. Another tip is store owners should sell their products at an affordable price. It's also important to have stocks on hand and most importantly, fresh and clean stocks. These are just a few of what you can learn in Nestlégosyo.
Lita Feño: Nestlégosyo is really a big help to my business. I was able to fix my store, thanks to the practical tips I learned from Nestlégosyo. Now, my store is always clean, the display is orderly and my stocks are always fresh. I now have loyal consumers and my store has expanded.
