‘Shopee Spotlights Local — Unveiling Malaysian Gems’ calls for Malaysians to shop local e-commerce sellers to preserve Malaysia’s heritage, nurture local talents, and drive our economy in an inclusive and sustainable way.
By making the book, the first of its kind in this country, available to the public from 31 August 2023, Shopee aims to empower all Malaysians to start shopping purposefully with an immediate focus on Made-in-Malaysia products from underserved communities.
Shopee Launches First-of-its-Kind Nationwide Campaign
E-Commerce Leader Publishes Book of Homegrown Sellers in Every State
Upholding its mission of using technology to help the underserved, Shopee empowers sellers by identifying and highlighting local sellers for better access to marketing solutions and hyper-localized campaigns, managing them so they succeed on Shopee, increasing seller education via its free Shopee University courses, and providing incentives so they find more opportunities on Livestream commerce.
Empowering Underserved Communities
The 100-page, full-colour booklet (downloadable in English and Bahasa Malaysia on Shopee Malaysia PR Newsroom website) is the first part of a series of episodic content that gives voice to Malaysian sellers breaking barriers online. It profiles Shopee sellers in each state who are top performing in terms of popularity, biggest storefronts, green products, exporters, livestreamers, and women-owned businesses. In addition, the book includes street-level stories and testimonials of sellers who have used their online success to uplift others in their communities.
Spotlighting Local Sellers for Success
Shopee is using the Shopee Spotlights Local campaign and authentic seller stories to promote greater awareness of how buying from small, independent sellers in our neighborhoods preserves local industries, reduces the carbon footprint, increases the level of personalised offerings, and encourages more homegrown entrepreneurs and innovators. Doubling as a handy guide for users to protect themselves, the book offers tips on shopping safely, understanding the Shopee Guarantee, identifying responsible sellers, and its 100% Authenticity policy.
The Shopee Seller Showcase Book
The vignettes about sellers pursuing their dreams online and showing us that Malaysians from all walks of life can build communities include:
● Zeeda Aziz of Pasar Kedah, who did not let her leg amputation stop her from expanding her ikan bilis business online
● Edward Wong of HomeDecoStore, who listened to his customers and designed prayer mats customised to local preferences
● Hafiz Oon of Mr. Bentong, whose popular ginger juices have garnered so much word of mouth that he sources from ten ginger farms in Pahang to meet demands
Promoting Awareness Through Shopee Spotlights Local
“Malaysian businesses near you are often the beating heart of our local economy and the backbone of our communities. When you shop locally online, you are supporting Made-in-Malaysia products from underserved communities. We are heartened to see the support that many of our local sellers continue to receive through their online businesses, and remain committed to partnering with and supporting them in their e-commerce journey,” said Kenneth Soh, Head of Marketing at Shopee Malaysia.
Distributing the Book to Malaysians
Shopee aims to distribute 15,000 free copies of the booklet to users free-of-charges in all states as they receive their parcels from SPX by Malaysia Day. The online version of the book is available for download at: https://sites.google.com/shopee.com/prnewsroom/home
