Mi 32" TV, Nette's first Mi Appliance she bought at a discount because it was the opening of Mi Store at Cubao |
Back in 2017, I was a member of a biking community group and during one of the many bike rides I did with a friend, taking photos was unavoidable especially in places you haven't been. She took a photo and when I saw it, I thought, wow that looks so nice. Even though I know that it takes skill and an eye for those kinds of things, I was impressed with the phone and how the photo turned out. She then told me about Xiaomi and that was the start"
My other first few purchases were the bag and Mi Band 2. After that, I didn't look at other brands. I never looked back.
I have the Mi 9T & the Redmi Note 10. But it's not a Mi Fan Festival Edition. "
Here in the Philippines, it's called a Mi Fan meet. But in China and India they have the Festival. It's actually an event for the fans. What I like about the Xiaomi brand, is that they invest in their fans. They don't get celebrities and spend so much on it because their strategy is for the fans.
During the Mi Fan Fest, this is also the time when Xiaomi also has amazing promotions, deals, and freebies for the fans. As a super fan, Nette has also attended quite a few Mi Fan Meet in Metro Manila. On her first one, she was with her family was back in 2018.
How everyone is welcoming, and you can easily post any concerns of your products and people in the community will gladly help you out. This is where Xiaomi communicates with their fans. I like that the brand listens to their fans and applies it to their products.
The Mi community also has an app, you can register & signup and here you can browse thru thousands of threads about various Xiaomi products. Nette herself has authored 100+ threads already and is an active Mi Fan and contributor. When I asked what does she posts there, she shared that usually, it's photos, first impressions, and sometimes a detailed real-life review of the Xiaomi products that she uses.
She is currently holding the Mi Fans Team position (that's global) she was an intern Mi Fan moderator before she became the moderator. But because the position requires more focus and a bit more responsibility she had to step down because of her work outside the community. When I asked if she gets paid to do this, she shares that she's already happy to be recognized for her contributions and efforts in the community. She also shares that she has won some items from the community and recognitions also of the local office and that is good enough for her.
Here are the items that were recently sent to Nette for her outstanding work in the community.

Nette's profile at Mi Community |
What is your proudest moment as a Xiaomi Mi Super Fan?
I think it was when they recognized you in the community. Not just a fan but to be invited to be a moderator is already an honor. Then I applied as a Mi Fans Team and happy that they approved. I am happy already to be sharing to the community anything that is Xiaomi related, but getting feedback and knowing that the community appreciate what I do brings more joy and happiness.
The Mi Explorers is something that I would like to try. Mi Explorers is they will take you to headquarters. You need to apply for it. Once accepted, you will get the chance to explore the company headquarters and it's like visiting a mall with everything Xiaomi. Here you get to check the lab, meet the employees and the bosses and test out the new gadgets as well. And, you get to travel with other Mi fans from around the world too.As for the gadgets, I still would like to complete the whole Xiaomi IOT products. I'm looking forward to saving for a Robot Vacuum.
