Shopee looks set to spearhead the economic recovery for local businesses, as part of three commitments for its 9.9 Super Shopping Day.
The Ringgit-to-Ringgit voucher funding by Shopee and the Government via Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) for the Short-Term Economic Recovery Plan (PENJANA) Shop Malaysia Online initiative has generated over RM200 million in sales by local retailers and traders on the e-commerce platform as of August 31st.
According to Ian Ho, Regional Managing Director, Shopee, the e-commerce platform refreshes the Shop Malaysia Online initiative with a new theme weekly to keep things exciting for consumers.
And to make it easier for Malaysians to identify homegrown sellers, Shopee has created the “Local Seller” tag, which will appear under all items sold by local businesses that qualify for Shop Malaysia Online.
“A lot of thought has gone into executing this PENJANA e-commerce initiative so people will keep coming back to support our local retailers. For instance, we introduce cashback vouchers that reward consumers when they complete a purchase from local retailers, thereby encouraging repeat purchases that drive sustained growth for our sellers and brands. That is how we keep the economy moving and this is highly beneficial to local sellers,” said Ho.
As the Shop Malaysia Online initiative enters its final leg, Shopee is ramping up its efforts to rally consumers to do their part and support Malaysian businesses for economic recovery.
It has also gone one step further to boost local sellers in the Shop Malaysia Online initiative via 9.9 million PENJANA vouchers that also bring greater savings for Shopee users.
Besides supercharging economic growth and recovery, Shopee will also strengthen its ecosystem to make buying and selling online even easier and more convenient, while delivering a super shopping experience by bringing users the largest collection of entertainment and deals.
