With IOI Livo Referral Programme, you can earn some extra income

Have you been longing for that dream holiday; the latest smartphone or planning to renovate your house, but it has not materialised because you have not saved up enough? Now, this is an opportunity to earn some extra income from the IOI LiVO Referral Programme, by IOI Properties Group.

“Since the launch of the IOI LiVO Customer Loyalty app, we have seen a huge increase in engagement with our loyal customers. They have been actively sharing and promoting their positive experiences with family and friends. In response to this and in light of the current economic environment, we have taken the initiative to reward our loyal customers with the IOI LiVO Referral Programme. This enables them to earn a significant side income. At the same time, it will allow us to expand our sales network.” This is according to Mr. Jason Tie, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of IOI Properties.

To make things more interesting, the programme is open to everyone besides IOI LiVO members. To take part in the programme, you just need to register online as a referrer. Once this is done, you can start to refer purchasers and leave the rest to the IOI Properties’ sales staff. It cannot get easier than this.

Anyone can be a potential customer – family members, friends, even colleagues. You can either accompany them to the respective IOI Galleria located in various IOI Properties townships or they can go on their own. If it is the latter, then all they need to do is to quote the referrer’s name and mobile number to the sales consultant as a verification procedure. After that, there is absolutely nothing else that you will need to do as the sales consultant will take it from there by explaining everything about the property of choice. This will include arranging for site visits and attending to the conclusion of the sale subsequently.

As for the reward, the referrer will be entitled to an incentive for each successful referral as follows:

The potential reward can be quite substantial, up to RM56,000! There is no limit to the number of people you can refer. The more you refer, the more you gain! So, this will be the perfect time to scan through the address book and look for people that you know who may be in the market for buying a new property.

Body aches and pains ruining your quality of life?

Body aches and pains ruining your quality of life?

Body aches and pains ruining your quality of life?

Counter the pain

Nearly all of us experience pain at some point in our lives; and for some of us, this experience is all too frequent! Alas, body pains and aches tend to be perceived as trivial and given low priority. Nonetheless, they affect 95% of the global population and have significant impact on the lives of many, according to a recent global study on pain.i

If you feel pain on a regular basis, you are not alone. The study found that the majority of sufferers feel body pain at least once a week and for significant periods of time. Across all aspects of everyday life, pain is negatively impacting the lives of both the sufferer and those closest to them, from damaging self-perception and negatively impacting time spent with friends and families, through to having a detrimental impact on their parenting abilities.

And what do we normally do when we have muscle pain and aches? We tend to self-medicate, do we not? According to the pain study, 94% of people know the cause of their body pain and for the majority, the cause is known through self-diagnosis rather than visiting a healthcare professional. Self-diagnosis is particularly common amongst 18-34 year olds.

After all, muscle pain and aches are fairly commonplace. Sore muscles are almost a given after an intense gym workout, especially when we have been a couch potato! We can easily pull a muscle when we forget to warm up or stretch properly before a game of sports. We get sore neck and numb arms if we sleep in a wrong position. We get backache and shoulder ache from sitting too long at the desk – ah the perils of the modern day office worker. Alas, muscle pain and aches have become part and parcel of our lives, whether we are physically active or otherwise.

Pharmacies and drugstores in Malaysia carry a diverse range of analgesics from many brands in many formats – pill, cream, balm, spray, liniment, ointment, patch – whole shelves of them. One is spoilt for choice!

How then do we decide which product to use? Trial and error is one. Following word-of-mouth recommendation is another. And of course we would do best to stick to a trusted brand with a strong heritage. After all, you would not want to ingest, or rub or stick anything of dubious origin on your body, would you?

Counterpain, which has long heritage, is a safe choice. That it has been around for ages speaks volumes. Many generations swear by its efficacy.

Counterpain Analgesic Balm provides temporary relief to minor muscle and joint aches and pains associated with strains, bruises and sprains. It is a non-greasy, fast-acting cream that leaves no stain. And it has a soothing scent. Slap some on for instant relief!

Do you know that besides easing muscle soreness post workout, Counterpain balm is also excellent in warming up the muscles pre workout?

Counterpain is available in patch format as well, for easier application and convenience, such as when you are busy at work or travelling. Indeed, patch format topical analgesics/anaesthetic products are increasingly popular among consumers in Malaysia.ii

Counterpain patches come in two variants – Counterpain Patch and Counterpain Patch Hot, both available in boxes of four.

The Counterpain patch certainly does look and feel modern and premium. It has a smooth and soft texture, and does not cause skin irritation. In fact, the patch contains Vitamin E, and hence moisturises your skin. It is flexible and stretchable, making it ideal for application on joints or folds – the patch stays on with every flex and bend, and you will feel no discomfort (skin does not feel pulled) or that your movement is somewhat constrained. The patch feels like a second skin! And it comes off clean when removed, without any pain or irritation to the skin. It smells really pleasant to boot.

Counterpain is confident of its patches’ quality. What have you to lose by trying? Counterpain Patch and Counterpain Patch Hot are widely available in independent as well as chain pharmacy stores, Chinese medical halls, supermarkets and hypermarkets… alongside the good ole Counterpain Analgesic Balm trusted by generations.

Why choose between a house and a car when you can afford both?

Why choose between a house and a car when you can afford both?

Why choose between a house and a car when you can afford both?

The majority of first-time homebuyers buy homes because they are going through a change in the household structure – whether it’s getting married or even starting a family. In many cases, there’s also a growing need to upgrade the household car as well during this same life stage.

It may always be the buyer’s market when it comes to property buying, but with the current economic situation, we are making even more deliberate considerations when making major purchase decisions like buying a house or a car. In fact, it is not unusual to see Malaysians sacrificing one just to make way for another important decision to realize, and life plans keep getting postponed or even put off simply due to financial constraints.

For those who can afford to buy both a house and a car at the same time, it is often a privilege – one that OSK plans to make accessible for regular homebuyers.

The latest project by OSK in Kuantan called TimurBay Seafront Residence thoughtfully caters to new families who have a lot on their plates. It is a fully furnished, freehold property complete with 2 acres of resort-themed facilities. The unique seafront collection has its own private access to Balok Beach, an internationally popular coastal destination for kitesurfing and windsurfing as well as other family recreational activities.

Apart from its attractive offers including 5% bumiputera discount and 0% down payment, OSK gives you an option for your property to be managed by the developer, cutting down the worries of dealing with a third party management. What’s most attractive about this property scheme is that, it comes with a car incentive program (T&C apply) .

After all, what’s the point of going all out to invest in the perfect place to live if you have to skimp on quality and comfort living for your family?
