Pay with PayPal at Rock And Ash and enjoy 20% off.

Rock and Ash has officially launched the Rock and Ash Fan Club powered by PayPal.

To join the Fan Club and link your PayPal account, all you need to do is visit http://taggo.me/RockandashSG.


Wrote Koon Teck, the partner at Rock and Ash,

Dear Fans, do you know that you can now use your paypal to pay for your meal at our cafe ? You just need to link your Fans account to your paypal and using your handphone to authorise the purchase when paying at the cashier. It is seamless, cashless, cardless and most importantly you get 20% discount off.

Aneace Haddad, CEO and founder of Taggo, paid for his first burger with PayPal at Rock and Ash a few weeks back.

Look Ma! No credit card! No wallet! Just my mobile phone!


I just paid for my first burger with PayPal at Rock and Ash. When fans join the Rock and Ash fan club, they have the option to link their mobile number to their PayPal account. Then, at the point of sale, all they have to do is give their mobile number to the cashier. The customer receives an SMS to authorize the transaction, and that's it. The purchase is done.


Fans get big discounts, merchants get more fans and word of mouth advertising (for free! Almost forgot to mention that) and PayPal gets a cool new way to create demand for mobile payments at the point of sale.


In discussion with clients, paying with PayPal offline provides retailers with a much affordable alternative to accept credit card payments.

There are no high sign-up fees or monthly rental fee that most banks ask for to install a simple credit card terminal at the point of sale.

The other advantage is the free word-of-mouth advertising that engages friends of the fans to be aware of the fan club and the participating retailer. Rock and Ash acquired 205 new fans in just one month of the launch of the fan club. In comparison, it took them six months to acquire this same number of new fans previously

In addition, since no credit card details is exchanged at the POS, this increase the level of security between retailer and customer.

For more information on how to set up your fan club, please email info(at)taggo.me.

Singapore radio personality in "hot soup" for reporting train delays based on Tweets?

Update - Hossan Leong has commented on this post to say " I'm not in trouble pls don't blow this out of proportion. Let it rest. It's getting silly. Thank you for your love and concern and I apologize for any misunderstanding." ~  Hossan Leong. Hossan Leong, a Singapore radio personality for The Gold Breakfast Show on Gold 90.5, was censured today for reporting on train delays on the Circle Line because he based the information on Tweets, rather than waiting for the official reports from the Circle Line operator, SMRT.  It is, however, unknown if the "warning" came from Mediacorp producers or SMRT. Tweeted Hossan Leong ,  OK...I reported it on air and now I'm getting into trouble for it?? The CC line is DOWN rite? I did nothing wrong rite? The SMRT Circle Line was reported to be down this morning during peak hours and started as early as 7am. However, local news only received official statement was received by the mainstream media at about 9...

DBS Bank – One Tweet too little too late.

(Updated post - DBS apologise with the 3Rs – Will social media bite? ) It was the bluest Monday for DBS/POS Bank in its entire banking history when more than 1000 of their ATM and online banking services were taken offline due to a software upgrade an outage (PR announced that it was down due to software upgrade, but the outsourcer, IBM, later claimed it was an outage). So on that Monday, DBS decided to sign up onto Twitter and post a 140 characters one-liner onto Twitter to post a one liner to inform the Twitterverse of the down time. Everybody knows that if you just create a new account on Twitter, you would start off with 0 friends. How would you be able to inform the Twitterverse if you start with 0 friends? DBS Bank did something smart to insert the #dbs and #posb and that probably drew some attention to this account. However, the effectiveness of the tweet was lacking as it drew only 28 retweets. As of this posting, DBS Bank attracted 274 followers. A letter to T...

New field in SocialPR: Social Media Crisis Communications

I have been busy with family for the Lunar New Year week but it seem the Singapore blog-o-sphere was active, and is still is, about recently formed Association of Bloggers (Singapore), ABS for short. To cut a long story short, the announcement of ABS via mainstream media didn’t go down well with Singapore bloggers and in the end resulted in some speculation to why ABS was set-up in the first place. A post by the ABS president defending herself against a harsh criticism from a blogger added to the bad start and created even more speculation that ABS was set-up with an ulterior motive. A week later, some founding members of the pro-team started posting up notice of resignation on their blogs and this just added fuel to fire. Again, a story of ABS appeared in mainstream media and this lead to even more disgruntled bloggers asking why the president isn’t responding via her blog or the association’s blog. I also responded to a post about the ABS incident. You can catch a summary of...
