Online Flower Shop M FLORIST Launches New Collection To Boost Wellness Embrace The Healing From Our Mother Nature

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 3 January 2022 – It is easy to be stressed out from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.The factor of wellness is a part of a wider global trend. Surveys have found that the average Hong Kong citizen’s mental health condition is worsening by the day. Out of one survey by the Baptist Oi Kwan Social Service in 2018, it was estimated that around 2 million people in the city are suffering from mental distress. The pandemic may have also worsened the situation, exacerbated by living and financial pressures. Daily habits that we were once accustomed to, such as watching movies, dining at cafes, or outdoor activities are not that easy to come by these, as the new norm under the pandemic also apply more pressure to people’s mental health.

The beauty of nature and architecture inspired Urban Flora to promote wellness


M FLORIST has always been concerned about the mental health issues of urbanites and aims to promote floral art to improve them. The Urban Flora is M FLORIST’s new collection inspired by architecture in nature, aiming to help urbanities experience the mysteries of mother nature in the city and embrace the healing from our mother nature.

Urban Flora is reflecting upon the intertwined relationship between city and nature, this coexistence is portrayed through the specially selected flower combinations in M FLORIST’s Urban Flora collection. Within the collection, City Nocturne symbolises the bedazzling nightscape of the city, Silver Fog represents the phenomenon when the city’s skyline merges with heavy fog, and Weekend Aroma describes the relaxing decompression after powering through a stressful, work-loaded week.

Different designs with less packaging to save the world


The new collection has bouquets, flower boxes and flower jar designs. The bouquets come in different sizes for different preferences. The Urban Flora bouquets are packaged with a simple, environmental design to allow the bouquet to show beauty all around.

 

About Urban Flora


City Nocturne

Neon lights are the soul of Hong Kong’s night life, conjuring up various romantic feelings. They outline the streets and encapsulate the enchanting night scene of the city.

Highly saturated colour and eye-catching flowers are selected as metaphors for the nightscape of the sleepless city, where neon lights and buildings glow from dusk to dawn.

 

Silver Fog

The high-rise buildings make it difficult to clear up condensation, where the thick fog blankets the urban city. This mesmerising phenomenon turns the cityscape into a hazy, mirage-like scene and it gives off a sense of ambiguity.

Shades of grey and matte textures come together in Silver Fog to display the blurry skyline of the city amidst the mysterious fog.

 

Weekend Aroma

A café is always a good place to hang out with friends during the weekend. The soothing aroma of coffee permeates throughout the café, and it reminds you the naturally grown coffee beans comes from Mother Nature!

Tropically warm colours are chosen in Weekend Aroma to symbolise the joyous atmosphere of gathering with friends. Weekend Aroma reminds you of the delightful time spent in a café; reading magazines, accompanied by relaxing music; and most importantly, surrounded by the natural and healing aroma of coffee.

Clean Care Expands To Include Laundry and Dry Cleaning Services

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 3 January 2022 – Clean Care, which began its comprehensive cleaning services with upholstery cleaning has broadened its range of services to encompass Laundry and Dry Cleaning services now. The cleaning company that strives to upkeep environmental well-being by ensuring clean and hygienic spaces at residential and commercial properties is well-positioned to serve as a one-stop centre for a variety of cleaning needs.

Starting out with their deep cleaning services of upholstery that can remove even the most stubborn of stains without compromising on the delicate condition of the furniture, Clean Care has been instrumental in extending the longevity of their customers’ carpet and sofa, while also safeguarding the health and safety standards of these indoor spaces by ensuring the maximum cleanliness of the upholstery. With this launch of new cleaning services, Clean Care is now able to meet a spectrum of cleaning requirements by homeowners and business owners.

 

LAUNDRY SERVICES

One of the features of Clean Care Dry Cleaning’s new Professional Laundry Service is that it only employs eco-friendly cleaning processes and utilise reusable laundry bags for pickup and delivery services. Apart from being environmentally conscious, Clean Care Dry Cleaning also ensures all laundry cleaning products are of top-grade premium standards, and are free of any chlorine. Their meticulous attention to detail in their professional laundry service also permits for laundry to be classified by colour before being washed with an in-wash detergent booster for enhanced cleaning performance, and a downy fabric softener. In addition to these measures, Clean Care Dry Cleaning also endeavours to meet any special requests from customers pertaining to their professional laundry services and offers a door-to-door nationwide service to collect and deliver the laundry to customers.

 

DRY CLEANING SERVICES

This seamless customer service of delivering the goods to customer’s doorstep extends to their Dry Cleaning Services too. Using a naturally-sourced, biodegradable cleaning solution along with the odourless and colourless liquid silicone as a carrier for the detergent, which is devoid of any harsh chemical components, Clean Care’s dry cleaning service can be effectively applied to bespoke suits, dresses, wedding gowns, jackets, cushion covers, rugs and bedspreads as it contains qualities for enhanced fabric care. The dry cleaning procedure at Clean Care Dry Cleaning operates on a wet cleaning process that typically uses 30% less water and 50% less energy than traditional wash cycles seen at other dry cleaners. The wet cleaning process does not compromise on the cleaning efficacy as the automatic washers at Clean Care Dry Cleaning electronically detect the moisture levels of the garments being dried to manipulate the detergent dosage, drum rotation, water flow and temperature in accordance with the fabric of the garment to produce the most ideal dry cleaning outcome possible. This double-pronged approach posits Clean Care Dry Cleaning as a cleaning company that does not only serve their customers optimally by recognising that every garment that is undergoing the dry cleaning process is unique and important, but as also one that is mindful of its environmental impact. For those garments and furnishings that customers determine to be of higher value, Clean Care Dry Cleaning also offers specialist care and meticulous handling.

 

“Clean Care prioritises customer satisfaction as the main driver of their branding in the cleaning services industry in Singapore”, affirms Mr. Jay Kwek, the marketing manager at Clean Care. “Our services are also competitively priced to offer our customers the best value in the marketplace”, says Mr. Kwek.

Introducing Pau-Pau: foodpanda unveils first-of-its-kind brand ambassador to champion empowerment and sustainability

  • Celebrating 10 years since it started operations, foodpanda unveils Pau-Pau as the new face of the brand to better connect with millions of users across Asia, bringing a fresh and vibrant user experience to the platform.
  • The new character, who is reflective of foodpanda’s fun, warm, and vibrant personality, also cares about empowerment and the environment.
  • Pau-Pau will be introduced across all foodpanda touchpoints — from the app, digital and social media, as well as out-of-home activations.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 3 January 2022 – To celebrate its 10th anniversary as the pioneering food and grocery delivery platform in Asia, foodpanda today introduced a fresh face for the brand – Pau-Pau! A fun-loving and free-spirited panda, Pau-Pau is a first-of-its-kind brand ambassador, championing empowerment and sustainability across the region.

  

Pau-Pau’s identity as a foodpanda brand ambassador will be brought to life in full — from having his own language and story, to a full set of values, such as caring for the environment, empowerment and the belief in living life on one’s own terms. With Pau-Pau, foodpanda has created a personality that is relatable and can better connect with millions of users across Asia.

 

The pink panda, who made his first appearances in Japan, Taiwan and Cambodia in December 2021, has since been rolled out in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Laos, before reaching the rest of the foodpanda network. The next phase will see Pau-Pau being introduced in the Philippines, Myanmar, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

 

Charting new territories with a fresh approach to brand-building

 

Pau-Pau will lead foodpanda’s foray into ever changing, live vibrant and media environments. In introducing a new personality that fully represents the brand, foodpanda expands its digital marketing ambitions to look beyond traditional platforms. Customers will also find Pau-Pau on the LINE and Instagram apps as emojis and stickers for lively engagement, freedom of expression and communication. Pau-Pau will be rolling out progressively across all foodpanda channels and interfaces, from the app and website, to digital and social media platforms, out-of-home activations and more.

 

“Pau-Pau is a first-of-its-kind among food delivery platforms in Asia! More than anything else, we wanted to create a personality that evokes love among customers. A personality that they can relate to and form an emotional connection with, as foodpanda becomes a partner in their everyday lives,” said Idan Haim, Vice President, Growth and Marketing, foodpanda. “We want Pau-Pau to be an inspiration for people to live life on their own terms and to its fullest. We are excited for our customers to meet Pau-Pau, as we mark the start of a new decade for foodpanda in Asia.”

Paving a purposeful foodpanda experience

 

“In creating Pau-Pau, we wanted him to also have a dimension of purpose — that he stands for something more than just being an adorable mascot,” said Eunha Bhang, Chief Creative Officer, Delivery Hero Asia. “Pau-Pau embodies and brings to life the foodpanda spirit by helping our communities reimagine how they use delivery and thereby adding vibrancy and fun in their lives.”

 

Pau-Pau is most passionate about three things — empowerment and living life on one’s own terms; the environment, as foodpanda’s sustainability champion; and enthusiasm, for food and fun. As a platform, foodpanda is an enabler of convenience for customers, freeing up their precious time by making it easier to get food and groceries delivered quickly, 24/7.

 

As foodpanda’s champion for sustainability, Pau-Pau will also be a part of foodpanda’s green agenda, supporting sustainability initiatives such as its default cutlery opt-out feature, which has saved 544 million pieces of single-use plastic in 2021 alone. More recently, in August 2021, foodpanda launched the Global Sustainable Packaging Programme to encourage merchants to switch to plastic-free, plant-based packaging to reduce the impact on the environment as it works towards becoming a carbon-neutral organisation.

 

The introduction of Pau-Pau builds on foodpanda’s earlier brand refresh, which saw foodpanda revitalising its look with fresh visuals and a more vibrant colour palette across its design touchpoints, and more friendly user interface as the platform expands beyond just food delivery.
