She Delivers: Lalamove puts the spotlight on Pinay MSMEs who get the job done

Most women, if not all, are known multitaskers. Even in the business world, women entrepreneurs tend to juggle multiple roles while running a business. Wearing multiple hats – from marketing and customer service to operations – is no easy feat for ladies, especially without the right support system.

Fortunately, a reliable on-demand delivery partner like Lalamove can help women-led businesses like Common Room get the job done, whether it’s having multiple bookings at the same time, booking multiple drop-offs in one order, or needing a multitude of delivery vehicles.

Delivering creativity

This Women’s Month, Lalamove has partnered with Common Room to support the local women crafters and women-led brands they house. Common Room, which was founded by women, is a collaborative space that houses over 300 local crafters and brands, offering a multitude of handmade creative curiosities for treasure hunters and craft collectors.

Common Room’s women entrepreneurs say they appreciate Lalamove’s affordable services.

Lala De Leon, a perfumer and all-around crafter from Simoy ng Haraya said, “Lalamove is my go-to for rush orders. Some buyers just need the items now and I’m happy to make it happen.”

Simoy ng Haraya aims to capture the essence of Filipino culture, lifestyle, and traditions through scents.

Cai Sio, a multi-tasking mom, from Paper Chic Studio highlighted Lalamove’s convenient payment options.

“My favorite feature is the Lalamove Wallet! I like the convenience of cashless transactions plus the discounts when I top-up,” she said.

Patricia Fernandez Lim, owner of Woven, a business working with crafting communities to create Filipino handicrafts for the modern lifestyle, mentioned that Lalamove helped them connect with the communities they serve.

“We use lalamove for our retail and wholesale orders, as well as supply deliveries— anything from raw materials to packaging. Apart from the cheaper rates and ease of use, my favorite is the wallet option since I can top up whenever and simply hand over any item that needs to be delivered. It’s one less thing I need to think about in running the business, and we get vouchers, too!” she remarked.

The Common Room PH founders Maan Agsalud and Roma Agsunod say, “Since most of our crafts are proudly local, we have always believed in creating spaces where local makers, artists, and entrepreneurs—especially women—can thrive. When we opened our doors in 2015, we recognized the challenge of limited physical spaces for the country’s growing arts and crafts community. This is why partnerships are so important to us, and we truly appreciate Lalamove for supporting our logistical needs. With their reliable delivery solutions, our makers can connect with more customers, ensuring that their passion and creativity reach even more homes. Together, we continue to empower local craftsmanship and entrepreneurship.”

Supporting entrepreneurial dreams 

As the country’s leading on-demand delivery platform, Lalamove has supported many businesses of all sizes by providing reliable, convenient, and cost-effective delivery solutions. With more Filipinas building their dream businesses, Lalamove is committed to empowering them to thrive and expand.

Lalamove Managing Director Djon Nacario says, “At Lalamove, we are committed to empowering businesses of all sizes by providing reliable and efficient delivery solutions. This Women’s Month, we are proud to partner with Common Room to support local women crafters and women-led brands. Through this collaboration, we aim to celebrate their creativity, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit by giving them the logistical support they need to grow and thrive.
