Iskaparate.com, the multi-vendor e-commerce
platform that connects local entrepreneurs to worlds of opportunities through
marketing, business, and financial support, has expanded its reach to Canada
with the launch of Ozam.
With its
recent press event that gave visionary insights into its history, distinctive
features, and B2B platform, Iskaparate.com continues to show
its progressive actions to become a more inclusive entity for all entrepreneurs
and customers.
Ozam is a
Canadian portal within Iskaparate.com where Overseas
Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Canada who want to augment their income
from day jobs and save up for their return to the Philippines can sell homemade
items to Canadian buyers.
Aside from
its typical e-commerce activities, Ozam’s main highlight is its service-focused
product line that connects Filipinos abroad to their homeland by enabling users
to send gifts, request errands, join live-streamed learning sessions, and
connect with the Filipino-Canadian community.
Inaugural
Products of Iskaparate Canada
Four
flagship product solutions bridge cultural and practical gaps for Filipinos
abroad to keep strong and accessible connections to the Philippines.
Ozam Gift
Ozam Gift is
an e-gift card available specifically for Filipinos in Canada who want a
flexible, cross-border shopping option. Buyers can purchase a card in multiples
of CAD 100 to either send them to family and friends back in the Philippines or
treat themselves. This gift card can be used to purchase items on the platform.
Users are
given spending flexibility as card utilization can be in small portions or all
at once. It’s also usable on both Philippine and Canadian storefronts. When
used to buy Philippine SKUs, the CAD balance is converted to PHP at the current
monthly rate.
Concierge
Iskaparate.com points out the idea of
Concierge as stemming from the Filipino term “pakisuyo” which means “favor.”
This service is for those who need errands done for them, functioning much like
a paid card for personalized tasks. Buyers simply select the service, describe
their request, and await confirmation. Within 24 hours, Iskaparate sends
a full quote which includes item or service costs and a nominal markup.
Once
confirmed, Iskaparate.com’steam takes on the responsibility of
fulfilling the errand. It could be organizing rides, hiring a tutor, arranging
a small gathering, or simply picking up an item. All completed tasks are
accompanied by visual proof to reinforce the trustworthiness that Ozam delivers
as it promises.
Ozam Talk
Ozam Talk is
a service that gives Filipinos in Canada access to learning opportunities and
expert-led discussions across a range of topics. This includes personal
finance, food safety, health, and others. These sessions, being presented by
professionals from different fields, give practical insights and skills
directly from experience. A session may feature senior physicians discussing
health conditions, chefs sharing food styling tips, or digital marketers
explaining strategies.
Joining from
anywhere is easy thanks to its live-streamed sessions scheduled on specific
dates. After purchasing, attendees receive a secure link to join. An additional
fee secures a personal copy of the entire session.
Ozam
Chamber
Ozam Chamber
is a service in collaboration with the Philippine Canadian Chamber of
Commerce (PCCC), an exclusive channel for Filipinos who want to stay
actively involved in community events, networking, and initiatives. Through the
Ozam Chamber payment service, users can pay membership dues, event fees, or
donations directly on the platform.
The service
process is fairly straightforward. After selecting their desired service, users
fill in a registration form and proceed to payment. Given its systematic method
and attested partnership, members can guarantee smooth access to events,
services, and updates from the chamber.
