2020 has been a tough year for us due to the pandemic, while Malaysia’s economy is on the path of recovery with a projected rebound of 6.5% to 7.5% in 2021, Shopee has announced several measures alongside brick-and-mortar businesses, charitable organizations as well as consumers that are integral to the vigor of Malaysia’s economy.
There will be more than 1,000 traditionally brick-and-mortar businesses joining hands with Shopee. Together with malls, cinemas, F&B outlets, petrol stations, beauty salons, and more across the country, they are looking at strengthening the ecosystem and forging ahead despite economic headwinds. The e-commerce platform also announced new and upcoming partnerships in conjunction with its 12.12 Birthday Sale with partners like:
- Shopping Malls: Lot10, Quill City Mall, and Tropicana Gardens Mall in Kuala Lumpur; Gurney Paragon Mall in Penang, and The Spring Mall in Sarawak
- Cinemas: TGV Cinemas and MBO Cinemas
- Retail/Grocer: FamilyMart, Padini, Pandora, Mydin, Caring
- F&B: Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Gong Cha, Kenny Rogers Roasters, Tealive
In addition to tickets and vouchers, offline retailers are able to draw higher footfall to their stores with the support of daily cashback of up to RM8 when users transact with ShopeePay mobile wallet. The emphasis on contactless payment also encourages Malaysians to shop and spend safely amid the third wave of infections.
The e-commerce platform will continue to support the business community, be it large outfits or micro traders with seller incentives and e-commerce education such as the recently-launched 12.12 Free E-commerce Workshops on digital literacy, ways to boost sales and exposure during campaigns and more.
For this 12.12 Birthday Sale, there’s a brand new live game show, Shopee Kotak Duit that rewards users with up to RM12,000 in cold hard cash. Hosted on Shopee Live at 9 PM every Monday to Thursday with special sessions on 11 and 12 December, lucky users will be called to answer one simple question and given a chance to unlock one of six boxes. Each box contains different values with the highest being RM12,000. The game show has since rewarded two individuals with RM12,000 each.
Additionally, the e-commerce platform is entertaining its users with a countdown live show — 12.12 Birthday Bash on 11 December from 9 PM. Broadcasted on Shopee Live, Astro Ria, Astro Gempak, and YouTube, the concert boasts a star-studded line-up such as Sheila Majid, Faizal Tahir, Ruffedge, Misha Omar, Khai Bahar, and Dolla.
