Iskaparate.com Celebrates Lunar New Year with Free Chinese Delicacy Cooking Workshop
In line with the upcoming Lunar New Year, Iskaparate.com holds its second free culinary class of the year with a Chinese Delicacy Cooking Workshop with the title The Grand Lunar Feast, on January 25, 2025, at All About Baking in SM North EDSA, featuring Chef Cathy Yu of Save Bakery and Café Philippines.
The free cooking class was a result of the platform’s sitewide promo, hosted by DTC Promos Inc., where subscribers joined for free and had a chance to be among the selected lucky winners to participate.

RAVE – Refer a Vendor (Vendor Referral Program)
The general idea of the Vendor Referral Program is to introduce Iskaparate.com to an entrepreneur and guide them as they join the platform as a seller.
Once the referred vendor is successfully on board, the referrer is entitled to receive a commission on every sale.
Interested referrers may contact Iskaparate directly via Facebook page or email.
TAP – Tell A Pal (Affiliate Program)
The Affiliate Program is a more open program that does not tie one to a specific vendor but allows them to market or promote any product from the website and earn commissions.
Through the ReferralPulse platform, affiliates can view their personal dashboard and have access to their engagements, commissions, and other statuses.
Interested affiliates may visit ReferralPulse and create an account.
