Shopee Shopping Day! Over the past year, the Government has rolled out a number of initiatives to reduce the cost of living in Malaysia. Its recent initiative is the establishment of the National Action Committee on e-commerce by the National Cost of Living Action Council. The aim is to promote and strengthen the use of e-commerce, thereby eliminating the role of middlemen in a bid to lower the cost of consumer goods.
In view of this, the Government has
been engaging closely with Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast
Asia and Taiwan, on how it can best alleviate the rising cost of living for
Malaysians. One of Shopee’s efforts is to work alongside Malaysian retailers by
lowering the barrier of entry to the digital economy. Additionally, the cost of
operating a business online is much lower. In turn, Shopee encourages retailers
to share their cost savings with shoppers, thereby making online shopping more
affordable for consumers. As a result, consumers see themselves saving an
average of 20% on their daily necessities when they shop on Shopee on a regular
day, with the potential to save up to 90% during major shopping events like 9.9
Super Shopping Day.
Taking place from 19 August to 9 September 2019, the
campaign offers greater deals and discounts across categories from brands such
as Nutox, HP, L'Oréal,
Vinda, Photobook Malaysia, Enfagrow, Universal Traveller, realme, MR DIY and
Nestle. To further promote the adoption of e-commerce and encourage
Malaysians to take advantage of these savings, Shopee is bringing down the
minimum spend for free shipping to RM9.
Welcoming the initiative, Song Hock Koon, Director of E-Commerce,
Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation,
said, “One of MDEC’s objectives is to encourage Malaysians to become
immersed in the digital ecosystem, as such initiatives like these will help
accelerate adoption in a sustainable and cost-effective manner. We are always
pleased to collaborate and support industry moves and trust that this latest
initiative will further inspire digital entrepreneurship efforts.”
Ian Ho, Regional Managing Director, Shopee said, “Shopee’s mission has
always been to impact local communities on a meaningful and sustainable level
through initiatives such as our sales campaigns that will allow
Malaysians to continue shopping and stocking up on necessities without breaking
the bank. At the same time, I am happy to announce Shopee’s partnership with
our latest brand ambassador Cristiano Ronaldo. Having him on board is truly a
milestone for us. This makes us more than just a shopping platform as we
continue to inspire users and connect them with the biggest stars and
celebrities in the world.”
At the launch of 9.9 Super Shopping
Day held at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, Shopee revealed its newest brand
ambassador, Cristiano Ronaldo. As
one of the greatest athletes, he is an inspiration to many and his dedication
to football resonates with the deep commitment Shopee has towards its users. He
will be working with Shopee across its seven markets in a wide range of
activities to engage and inspire people in the region.
