    Shopee rounds up exceptional 2019; envisions online shopping to be more personalized, engaging, and social in 2020

    Shopee’s in-app games were played over 1 billion times in total in 2019 .

    10,000 hours of content streamed on Shopee Live a day on average.

    Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, sums up an exceptional 2019 and outlines three defining characteristics for online shopping in 2020: Personalized, Engaging, Social. Shopee enjoyed a landmark 2019 as it pioneered industry-leading initiatives that transformed online shopping in the region. In 2020, Shopee will take its efforts to the next level by making online shopping more fun, customized, and interactive. 

    Martin Yu, Associate Director at Shopee Philippines said, “Shopee had an incredible 2019. We achieved new milestones by staying true to our vision of making online shopping engaging and social. This is proven by our successful in-app games and features which continue to delight millions of users daily. As e-commerce becomes the norm in the coming years, the next challenge is to make shopping online more personal and customized for each user. Shopee believes this to be the future of online shopping and we are committed to making it a reality.” 

    Shopee led the way for Southeast Asia’s e-commerce market in 2019 

    Shopee extended its market leadership in 2019, driven by its successful strategy to forge a social and engaging shopping experience. Fun is at the heart of the Shopee experience as its popular in-app games and features entertained shoppers across the region: 
     

    • Over 1 billion plays recorded on Shopee’s wide range of in-app games in 2019 
    • 10,000 hours of content streamed on Shopee Live a day on average 

    Sellers and brand partners also saw tremendous growth on Shopee in 2019. Sellers across the region experienced a steady increase in orders throughout the year, especially during the busy year-end shopping period. In addition, more brands and retailers joined Shopee to reach more customers, as the product assortment on Shopee Mall doubled in 2019. 

    Powered by its successful strategy, Shopee was crowned the number one shopping app in Southeast Asia and Taiwan by Monthly Active Users (MAU) in the second and third quarter of 2019. In addition, Shopee set new records during the year-end shopping season, highlighted by 80 million items sold in just 24 hours at its annual finale, Shopee 12.12 Big Christmas Sale. 

    2019 Highlights at Shopee Philippines 

    2019 was a fruitful and fulfilling year for Shopee Philippines, as it achieved several major milestones for users. Key highlights include: 

    • Provide non-stop entertainment for Filipinos: Celebrated the beginning of the Christmas season with its first-ever TV show, Shopee 11.11 Big Christmas TV Special. Millions of Filipinos joined in the fun to catch their favourite celebrities, including Alden Richards, Maine Mendoza, and Heart Evangelista.  
    • Announce Filipino Popstar Royalty as new brand ambassador: Sarah Geronimo joined in the fun to celebrate Shopee 6.6 – 7.7 Lowest Price Sale as Shopee brand ambassador. Shopee recorded millions of online views for its commercial with Sarah Geronimo for Shopee 6.6 – 7.7 Lowest Price sale. 
    • Deepen user engagement with Shopee Live: Rolled out in-app livestreaming feature in April to provide shoppers an innovative and social shopping experience. Consumers can watch Shopee Live to score exclusive deals, connect with their favorite celebrities, and get Shopee vouchers.  

    The future of online shopping: Personalized, Engaging, Social  

    Shopee foresees online shopping to be even more personalized, engaging, and social in 2020. In line with this vision, Shopee will introduce new platform innovations to bring users a fun and personalized shopping experience in the new year:  

    • Personalized shopping with data and artificial intelligence (AI): Shopee will deepen its use of AI and big data to curate a more personalized shopping journey for users. For example in 2019, Shopee leveraged deep learning for its recommendation engine to bring users customized shopping suggestions based on purchase and browsing data.  
    • Leveling up user-engagement with new in-app games: Shopee will also innovate its collection of in-app games to bring users more fun and entertainment. In the Philippines, Shopee rolled out its latest horoscope game, the 2020 Fortune Forecast, to mark the beginning of the new year and to allow Filipinos to read their fortune for the year ahead. 
    • Deeper social interaction on Shopee Feed: Finally, users in all markets can expect an upgraded social experience through Shopee Feed by the first quarter of 2020. Shopee Feed offers various social functions for users to create content and interact with friends, fellow buyers, and sellers on Shopee.  

    Yu closed: “I believe that online shopping should bring fun and joy to people. Everyone at Shopee is working hard to make shopping engaging, social, and personalized as e-commerce continues to evolve in our region. We are thrilled at what is to come in 2020 and we look forward to another fruitful year.”

  • “Intensify your office #OOTD with these edgy styling staples”

    “Intensify your office #OOTD with these edgy styling staples”

    There will come a point in one’s lives that their wardrobe will be dominated by corporate clothes, seeing that 80% of their days are spent in the office. But this doesn’t mean one has to get stuck with uptight outfits that do not exude style.

    Here are wardrobe staples that will keep you looking professional and confident without sacrificing style.

    The Classics

    Nothing says classy more than the classics. Make sure to have on hand a pair of pumps in black and nude, as these can match any attire and give off a sleek look. Likewise, it’s a must to have a well-fitting little black dress that can easily go from day to night.

    A professional tote

    A tote bag that’s big and durable enough to fit all the work files and possibly even double as a laptop bag is another OOTD staple. It’s ideal to get this all-time favorite work bag in black to suit any occasion and outfit.

    Smartphone with deluxe design

    An item that goes hand in hand with one’s nine-to-five is a smartphone. Leave complicated color schemes behind and stick to those in neutral colors. Embrace simplicity with Vivo V17Pro’s models in Knight Black and Crystal White, this Vivo phone sits upon translucent glass and automatically gives off distinctive taste and style. After all, it’s always a good idea to pair excellent function with polished form.

    Lightweight blazer

    This is the easiest trick in the book if one wants to pull together a professional outfit fast. Secure a piece that’s dressy and corporate at the same time.

    These are the staples that one must have in their wardrobe whatever industry they’re in. Stay fashionable and be confident in professional looks that are simple but stands out.

  • Sing B4 U Buy: The Smarter Way to Choose a Videoke System

    As the holiday season reaches full swing, having a videoke device will certainly make your parties merrier, grander! Now, if you’re on the market for a new videoke device, choosing the right one can be daunting. The simple truth is, not all videoke machines are created equal.

    For this reason, Grand Videoke, the leading name in the industry, mounted an advocacy called Sing B4 U Buy. The message is simple but important. Sing B4 U Buy encourages consumers to properly and thoroughly experience first-hand a videoke system before making a purchase. With that, Grand Videoke also gives some practical pointers for you to check for:

    1. Check the Song Library

    While some claim to have thousands and thousands of songs, you’ll be surprised to find out that a huge number of songs are actually duplicated – not just once but sometimes up to four times! With the Grand Videoke PLUS series, you get an extensive library of more than 6,000 built-in songs. No song is duplicated, no public domain songs included. All tracks are handpicked favorites – songs you actually want to sing!

    • How Quickly Can You Find Songs?

    Song searching can be a tedious process. While some videoke machines now offer on-screen searching through a remote control, this is still far from a seamless process. To remedy this, Grand Videoke Symphony 2.0 PLUS, the flagship of the series, offers the GeeVee™ Voice Command feature. By simply speaking the song title directly to your microphone, you can find your favorite song in just about 5 seconds.

    • What is the Type of Storage Used?

    Often ignored but no doubt one of the most important, the storage system used can determine the longevity of the device. External storage options such as optical discs (CDs or DVDs) and SD cards are more prone to damage and data corruption. That’s why, Grand Videoke PLUS uses an internal memory storage system that is more secure. That means more peace of mind for you.

    • How is the Song Quality?

    A well-produced song is one that lets you hear the beautiful harmonious details. Grand Videoke PLUS, with its dedicated Dream Sound Module, is able to produce high-definition sound. Much care was devoted to song production, with some even featuring full orchestral accompaniment and back-up singers. It’s like starring in your major concert right at the comforts of your home.

    • How is the Vocal Quality?

    A good microphone must be able to reproduce your voice naturally and clearly. The Grand Videoke PLUS wireless microphone utilizes cardioid pro audio technology tuned for vocals. The result is clearer voice reproduction and better voice pick-up. Singing becomes an effortless and confidence-inspiring experience.

    • Is it Well-Designed?

    The words “sophistication” and “videoke” doesn’t always go together. But Grand Videoke PLUS is set to change that perception. With its steam-injected piano black finish, the Grand Videoke PLUS exudes a premium look and feel. The unique clarinet-inspired wireless microphone is iconic – a conversation piece in and of itself.

    So this holiday season, be smart and choose the right videoke brand that will bring you grander parties. Sing B4 U Buy! To make your holidays even more wonderful, Grand Videoke is offering a free WOW Digital TV Box worth Php 1,500 for every purchase of Grand Videoke Symphony 2.0 PLUS (TKR-372MP PLUS). This promo runs from November 15, 2016 to January 15, 2017 and can be availed in participating dealers such as SM Appliance, Gadgets Hub at The SM Store, Astroplus, Odyssey, Robinsons Appliance, and other leading appliance and music stores. It can also be purchased online via Lazada (www.lazada.com.ph) and The WOW Store (www.thewowstore.com.ph).
