00:00As a pickleball player, Lito Quinez decided to start his own pickleball equipment business

00:09because he wants to have locally made or Pinoy made equipment for his beloved sports.

00:17Let's find out his business story here in Negosya Tayo.

00:21One of the most popular hobby or sports here in the Philippines is to play pickleball.

00:33Because of that, we will meet a pickleball equipment business today

00:37to find out their secret in a successful business.

00:41So sir, you're a member of Professional Pickleball Association.

00:49So can you tell us more about this?

00:51There are two groups. I came to another group, PPA, Professional Pickleball Association.

00:57And the other group is PPF, Philippine Pickleball Federation.

01:01I started with this group, PPA.

01:03And then, way back in 2018-2019, before the pandemic, we started promoting pickleball.

01:10Then there was a shutdown during the pandemic.

01:13You know, even though there was a shutdown, it grew.

01:16Because it's indoor.

01:17Then when it opened in 2022, that's when it started.

01:20That's when we grew. And now, the number of pickleballs in the Philippines is huge.

01:24Can you share with us, if you're going to go back in time, while you were building this business,

01:29how did you build this on your own?

01:33The idea is that the equipment is expensive.

01:37The equipment of pickleball is expensive, coming from abroad.

01:41So here, we saw that it's not just the opportunity, but the needs.

01:47The need for this sport to be affordable and accessible to everyone.

01:54Can you tell us more about your struggles, the challenges along the way, sir Lito?

01:59Our struggle is what we call branding.

02:03Because we have countrymen who are more interested in foreign brands.

02:07The second is the requirements of the USPA.

02:11Because we have certifications of equipment, ma'am Diane.

02:15This certification is sometimes required in tournaments.

02:19And now, we are very fortunate.

02:22It's not just us, it's our countrymen.

02:25We have 2 to 5 certified paddlers.

02:30In the Philippines, this is a local brand, Filipino brand.

02:33And can compete not only locally, but also internationally.

02:37It's very proud, right? Because we can already compete internationally and put up on your own.

02:43So sir, do you have any tips or advice to those aspiring entrepreneurs?

02:47You know, who want to be like you, or they want also to enter the pickleball business industry.

02:52Not only pickleball, but other sports equipment as well.

02:56What we need now is to promote local brands.

02:59We will develop local branding, local signature brands.

03:05So that we won't be tied to premium and important brands.

03:10We don't have control on pricing, we don't have control even on designs.

03:15So let us design our own.

03:17I know that I believe in the creativity of Filipinos and our local brands.

03:23So, go local!

03:30Buy local, support local.

03:32Let's support the Filipino-made products.

03:36And that's the lesson that Sir Lito Quinez, the business owner, shared with us.

03:41We will see each other again for the next Inspiring Business Stories that we will share with you.

03:48So, let's go! Let's do business!
