ASUS Philippines celebrates and incredible milestone last April 15, 2018 by opening its 100th store in the country which is located in the newly opened Ayala Mall Feliz. The brand aims to make its products more accessible for Filipino end-users and its fans in almost all islands of the Philippines.

“Now our job is to enrich and then to establish a very effective and very wide coverage channel network and touch point with our Filipino end users so they can really enjoy good products and good solutions anywhere in the country.  We believe that we really need to go to our customer not let the customer find us. The 100th store is our first step to reach out to our partners as far as Zamboanga, General Santos, Davao, Tuguegarao, Laoag, even South Luzon, we have our point of sales there,” said George Su, ASUS Philippines Country Manager for Systems Group.

Right now we actually expanded more our reach by opening three stores in Lazada and one dedicated eShop for ZenFone so we can ensure that there will be no gap in our business ecosystem, Su concluded.


Right now ASUS has 100 stores you can enjoy its various products from the newly launched intelligent phones – the ZenFone 5 series, ASUS ultra-books, 2-in-1s and Flip series, gaming notebooks, motherboards, monitors, mini PCs, peripherals and all key devices conveniently through hassle-free purchase for both retail stores and online shops. All dedicated stores like ASUS, ZenFone and Republic Of Gamers will be carrying the complete line-up of products and as well as their soon-to-be launched devices for all product line of the company.

“We started our business in the country and we know that we will grow with the help of our channel partners. We must say that we have experienced a lot of changes in the business ecosystem locally. From just selling motherboards in our early days in the country now we have a full line-up of products that we share to our fans to ensure that they have the best products possible in a very reasonable amount,” shares, Anvey Factora, ASUS Philippines Marketing Manager for Systems Group.

In 2011, ASUS only has six stores in the country and within 2012 to 2015 we managed to build 45 more. The breakthrough year for us is 2016 and 2017 where we doubled the number and reach a total of 83 in December 2017 which means in Q1 2018 alone our team was able to officially open 17 more in just 3 months’ time.
But like what George mentioned, we opened 100 stores in the country with a vision to make our products easily accessible for our fans and all Filipino end-users who want to experience innovative devices fast and within their reach, Factora concludes.


The ASUS 100 stores consists of ZenFone Kiosk Shops (52), ASUS Concept Shops (20), ZenFone Concept Shops (15), ROG Shops (4), ASUS owned online shops (4), ZenFone eLounge (3) and ASUS eLounge Shop (2) which totals to 100 stores full opened and functional to serve fans and Filipino end-users nationwide.

Moreover, ASUS in line with its retail and online store expansion ensures that quality and service remains to be key – thus as of today ASUS has around 62 Authorized Service Partners (ASPs) and planning to expand rapidly targeting 100 ASPs in the succeeding months

The 2018 ZenFone 5 series salutes the first generation ZenFone 5, as it is geared towards championing mobile photography anew. With the ZenFone 5Z and ZenFone 5 bearing the latest Artificial Intelligence (AI) camera technology that can think for its users; as well as with ZenFone 5Q bringing its own photography advancements as the world’s first true-quad camera smartphone, mobile photography will surely never be the same again.

For an instant blast of extra power, the exclusive ASUS AI Boost — available on both ZenFone 5 and ZenFone 5Z — optimizes performance for games and other demanding tasks.

ASUS AiMesh Whole-Home Wi-Fi Routers

AiMesh overcomes many of the limitations found in alternative off-the-shelf whole-home Wi-Fi systems, such as mesh-networking systems. Although these systems can be convenient all-in-one solutions, they are often only available in fixed bundles, with a limited choice of Wi-Fi speeds, hardware features and upgrade paths. With AiMesh, users can create a completely flexible whole-home Wi-Fi system tailored to their needs, while continuing to enjoy all the functions of each individual ASUS router, such as extreme Wi-Fi performance and exclusive advanced networking features. AiMesh also offers convenient central management and control via either the ASUS Router mobile app or the ASUSWRT web interface.

Enabling AiMesh on a compatible ASUS router just requires an easy — and completely free — firmware update that allows it to be added to any AiMesh network, so users can mix and match models according to their budget and/or needs, and make good use of their old router when they upgrade.
I
Mesh is an unbeatable solution for discerning users looking for the ultimate whole-home Wi-Fi system, adding yet another dimension to the award-winning family of fast and reliable ASUS routers.
