Shopee Strengthens Buyer Confidence with On-Time Guarantee Program


Shopee’s ‘The Future of Shopping: Engaging Generation Z Shoppers in the Digital Era’ market study in collaboration with Kantar found that 70% of Malaysian Gen Z’s will shop online if they are confident of a smooth delivery experience. Survey respondents prioritised in particular free shipping with no minimum spend and next day delivery whenever hitting the checkout button.



In fact, two thirds of Gen Z’s surveyed base their confidence on Shopee's established fulfilment practices. They review the platform’s flexible shipping options, on-time delivery guarantee, customer testimonials about delivery in good condition, and use real-time order tracking consistently to have peace of mind. The study also found that 70% of Malaysian Gen Z’s are more likely to hop over from social media platforms to e-commerce sites like Shopee to complete their shopping purchases.



In response to these evolving shopping behaviours, Shopee is introducing the On-Time Guarantee program commencing on 6 May. By implementing the On-Time Guarantee, Shopee is directly addressing a key consumer's preference for timely delivery, ultimately strengthening buyer confidence and driving repeat business on the platform.


Ming Kit Tan, Head of Marketing and Business Intelligence at Shopee Malaysia, said “Gen Zs seek a frictionless buying experience with both efficiency and transparency throughout the entire purchase journey. Focusing on customer centricity and enhancing the overall shopping experience, we also introduced the 15-Days Free Returns, No Questions Asked* program to empower buyers with unparalleled flexibility, allowing for ‘Change Of Mind’ returns on eligible items with a seamless and hassle-free process. By putting our users’ needs first, we aim to build an unwavering foundation of trust, fostering peace of mind for all Shopee users through consistent attention to their concerns and preferences.”


To support these evolving needs and to better serve customers, Shopee’s logistics partner, SPX Express, is proactively expanding its delivery capacity and coverage area throughout 2024. Their extensive network of over 140 hubs and warehouses, coupled with a robust network of 1,200 service points provides buyers with both timely delivery and convenient self-collection points.


SPX Express is further bolstering its customer-centric approach by expanding self-collection points outside the Klang Valley to 700 within the next six months. This strategic move allows shoppers to seamlessly integrate package collection into their daily routines.

Malaysian teacher named regional winner of the 2024 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards

 


The International Education group at Cambridge University Press & Assessment (Cambridge) today announced Sydney Engelbert, an English language teacher at Keningau Vocational College in Sabah, as the regional winner of the 2024 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards in Malaysia. 


The Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards is a global competition that celebrates the achievements of teachers around the world. Now in its sixth year, the competition highlights the important role that teachers play in shaping the lives of their learners and preparing them for the world. It gives students, parents and peers the chance to nominate a current primary or secondary teacher for outstanding commitment to their students’ education. 



As a regional winner, Sydney Engelbert will win £500 worth of books for their class, a trophy, take part in a regional awards ceremony and receive publicity for them and their school during the coming year. They will also appear on a ‘thank you’ page at the front of new Cambridge textbooks. 

 

Sydney Engelbert has been named the regional winner in Southeast Asia & Pacific, for her commitment to cross-cultural collaboration, which helped to develop her students’ communication skills. Sydney teaches at a rural school in Keningau, Sabah, where her students will rarely leave the district. The judges praised Syndey’s role in enriching her students’ education despite this isolation. Notably, Sydney kickstarted an online exchange class in 2022 with several other vocational schools in Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia and Indonesia. Khalifa Affnan, also from Keningau Vocational College, won the Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards 2022.

 

“I am greatly honoured to be awarded with this recognition. It’s important that we create a learning environment rooted in cultural exchange to help students develop the practical and communication skills needed for the future. I am deeply proud of the success my students have had as part of our online exchange class that is centred around cultural competence and exploring topics beyond the standard curriculum,” said Sydney.



A global competition  

 

2024 saw a record number of nominations from people wanting to thank a teacher. Cambridge received 14,840 nominations across 141 different countries, topping the previous record by over 1,000 nominations.

 

Rod Smith, Managing Director of International Education said, “We need 44 million teachers worldwide by 2030 if the world is to meet the UNESCO Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 of inclusive and equitable quality education. For this to happen, at Cambridge we believe we should be celebrating the profession and highlighting the hard-working teachers currently instilling a love of learning, often in difficult environments.



“We launched the Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards to ensure we took the time to thank those preparing their students to be ready for the world, whether tackling challenging educational issues like climate change or breaking down cultural barriers. I wish to congratulate Sydney Engelbert for their immense accomplishments, which I’m sure will inspire teachers and learners across Malaysia.”

 

The public can now vote on their favourite teacher out of the nine regional winners, to become the overall winner of Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards 2024. The deadline to vote is 6 May 2024 and the Global Winner will be announced on 29 May 2024.

Unlocking Your Child's Potential with Enfagrow A+ MindPro 

By the age of five, children are at a pivotal stage where 90% of their brain development has already occurred, setting the groundwork for their future endeavours. As the main decision parent who prioritizes their children's health, providing them with the best nutrition becomes imperative. 


Enfagrow A+ MindPro contains a breakthrough ingredient called Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM). Research shows that children who consume MFGM-enriched milk formula have significantly higher mental performance on the Full-Scale IQ score. MFGM enables faster brain stimulation, hence increasing the child’s brain performance in processing information. 


This benefit is long-lasting, extending beyond 5 years, to prepare children to be future-ready and successful with long-term higher mental (IQ) and emotional (EQ) development. This component, crucial for brain growth and immunity, works synergistically with brain-nutrient DHA, providing children with a long term advantage for both (IQ) and (EQ) advancement. This combination enhances cognitive development and fosters better emotional regulation, aiding children in navigating social situations more effectively.

 


"What sets Enfagrow A+ MindPro apart is its unique ability to incorporate MFGM into children's milk formulas," says Choy Yee. "As a mother, I understand the importance of giving children the best possible start. At Enfagrow A+ MindPro, we're dedicated to supporting mothers in this journey by offering innovative nutritional products for children backed by scientific research. Through our scientifically formulated products, mothers can trust that they're giving their children the tools they need to thrive mentally and emotionally, setting them up for success in the years to come." 


“We believe that with Enfagrow A+ MindPro, parents can help unleash their children's potential, nurturing them to be a step ahead of others to be school-ready and future-ready. It's not just about providing nutrition; but about empowering children to thrive and succeed in every aspect of life”.

Gen Zs Trust User and Expert Insights Via Shopee Survey

 


Shopee’s ‘Engaging Generation Z Shoppers in the Digital Era’ survey findings revealed that 60% of respondents prioritise platforms with easy search, comparison functionalities, and helpful reviews followed closely by comprehensive product information and trustworthiness. This emphasises the importance of building a user-friendly platform brimming with product variety, professional recommendations, and insightful user reviews to capture Gen Z's attention.


Underscoring their research-heavy habits, 30% of Gen Z strategise their purchase, holding over 70% of items in their cart for more than a day to conduct in-depth research before committing to a purchase. This highlights the importance of building a research-friendly environment, which includes offering a rich variety of research products, incorporating professional recommendations, and fostering insightful user reviews.


While research is paramount, a smooth checkout process is equally important. When asked “What will increase your likelihood of checking out your items immediately?”, 6 in 10  Gen Z shoppers focus on user experience features like product restock reminders, flash deals, and voucher applications. Additionally, easy order cancellation and price comparison tools are highly sought after. The remaining 40% look for efficient platform delivery services to finalise their purchases.



Gen Z put importance on value maximisation in their purchasing decisions. Free shipping, competitive pricing, attractive promotions, discounts and vouchers are critical motivators for 83% of respondents, demonstrating their focus on getting the most for their money. Interestingly, product quality appears to be a secondary factor when choosing a purchase channel.


Shopee's research delves even deeper, revealing that Gen Z consumers heavily rely on reviews and customer service throughout the buying journey. Over 75% actively seek out reviews from both users and experts before making a purchase. Engaging with sellers through chat features and comparing products across brands are also common practices for this generation. The remaining utilise Shopee Live and Shopee Video for product information and purchase decisions.


Ming Kit Tan, Head of Marketing and Business Intelligence at Shopee Malaysia, said, “We understand that Gen Z presents a significant growth opportunity. Our user-friendly platform features like Shopee Live empower users with information beyond product listings, such as in-depth reviews or live demonstrations. It fosters a relationship between seller and buyer, allowing a sense of trust to be built between each interaction. Such hyper-personalised experiences function as a value-added service, building long-term brand loyalty within this rising demographic”


Customer service remains a key differentiator. In 2023 alone, Shopee celebrated an industry-leading 98% success rate for cases resolved within 30 seconds, translating to an impressive 80% customer satisfaction rate. These figures underscore Gen Z's demand for a seamless research experience coupled with top-notch customer service for a successful online shopping journey.


Shopee prioritises user satisfaction through its continuously evolving search function, leveraging deep learning to analyse user browsing and purchase behaviour. The platform’s recommendation engine personalises product suggestions, ensuring a customised shopping experience for every user. Additionally, Shopee Live empowers users to connect with brands and sellers with its user-friendly live chat. This feature fosters real-time interactions and product demonstrations, which strengthens user confidence in every purchase.
