Japan’s winter features crisp air, snowy landscapes, and vibrant light displays. Skiing and snowboarding are popular in the north, while hot springs and seasonal foods offer warmth and comfort. It’s a season of both adventure and relaxation.<\/p>\n

We participated in the \u201cGaijinPot Expo 2024\u201d event on 7th<\/sup> December. It brought together a vibrant community of foreign residents and businesses in Japan, showcasing diverse products and services tailored to expat needs. For MobalPay, this event provided a valuable platform to connect with potential users and industry partners, fostering meaningful discussions and insights. Here\u2019s a closer look at the event and MobalPay\u2019s takeaways.<\/p>\n

Featured Services at the Event<\/h2>\n

MobalPay<\/h3>\n

M<\/strong>obalPay provides a prepaid card solution that doesn\u2019t require a Japanese bank account nor phone number, making it perfect for foreign residents in Japan. The MobalPay card is a prepaid card issued in Japan, available to any foreign resident with a residence card. It can be used for online, offline, and app-based payments. You can easily top up the card with cash at convenience stores, and use it up to the amount you\u2019ve loaded. Best of all, there\u2019s no credit check required for issuing the card, unlike a regular credit card.<\/p>\n

WHCC<\/h3>\n

W<\/strong>HCC, operated by the NPO Seibo, sells Malawi coffee online and at events. We also introduced a non-profit organization selling Malawi coffee, with 100% of the profits being donated to support local communities in Malawi.
\nAll profits from the sales of Malawi coffee are donated to Malawi, supporting initiatives such as school meal programs for children in one of the world\u2019s poorest countries. The Malawi coffee, made from beans grown at an altitude of 2,000 meters, is a high-quality coffee known for its authentic taste and excellent reputation. The operational costs of their activities are covered by the sales from MobalPay, Mobal, and other group companies under Mobell.<\/p>\n

GaijinPot Expo: A Fun and Engaging Experience<\/h2>\n

Our booth at the GaijinPot Expo was bustling with activity as visitors stopped by to learn more about MobalPay. From answering questions to introducing our services, we had the chance to connect with a diverse audience and share what makes MobalPay so convenient and accessible.<\/p>\n

We also hosted a seminar during the event, which was an exciting opportunity to engage with attendees directly. Joined by one of our TikTok collaborators, Shai, we had a fantastic time presenting MobalPay’s features and hearing valuable feedback from the audience. The event was a fun and productive day, filled with great conversations and new connections!<\/p>\n

Seminar Success: Connecting with Our Audience<\/h2>\n

Kicking off the GaijinPot Expo with the first seminar was a bit nerve-wracking, but it was great to share MobalPay\u2019s features with an engaged audience. We explained how our prepaid card simplifies life in Japan, focusing on quick applications and easy top-ups.<\/p>\n

A highlight was having Shai, our guest speaker and TikTok collaborator, share her experience as a <\/span>MobalPay<\/span> user. Her authentic perspective added <\/span>a personal touch<\/span>, making the message even more relatable and impactful. It was <\/span>a great way<\/span> to connect with potential users and show how <\/span>MobalPay<\/span> can make life easier.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Social Media Campaign: Early-Christmas Gift!<\/h2>\n

We ran a fun social media campaign at the GaijinPot Expo, offering a free coffee pack or Wi-Fi giveaway for anyone who followed us on Instagram. The Wi-Fi was especially popular, and we quickly ran out of stock by 2 PM! It was great to see so many people engage with us on social media while enjoying a little gift in return.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Conclusion and Call to Action<\/h2>\n

The GaijinPot Expo provided valuable insights and connections, and we\u2019re excited to continue building on the momentum. We look forward to further enhancing MobalPay\u2019s services, increasing brand awareness, and strengthening partnerships to better serve foreign residents in Japan. Stay tuned for more exciting updates and initiatives!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
