    Top Talents to Tech Leaders: The Key to Sustained E-Commerce Growth

    Shopee invites all aspiring tech leaders to join the Global Leaders Program to experience in-depth training and mentorship to help drive the growth of e-commerce in the Philippines.

    E-commerce platforms continue to strengthen their foundation in the global retail market with constant innovation and improvements in the consumers’ overall online shopping experience. Along with the immense demand for quality products and services, there is also a great need for tech talents who will drive the growth of e-commerce locally and internationally. The value of e-commerce in Southeast Asia is projected to reach US$132 billion by the end of 2021, and in five years, the Philippines’ e-commerce value will grow by 3.8X.[1]

    Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, equips young and high-potential talent with immersive training and in-depth mentorships through its Global Leaders Program (GLP).

    The Shopee Global Leaders Program is a 2-year graduate program consisting of four 6-month local and overseas rotations designed for highly enthusiastic and ambitious young Filipino talents. Participants will help drive Shopee’s campaigns and new initiatives by working with local and overseas teams. They will gain eye-opening experiences, regional exposure and contribute to the expansion of Shopee across the region. Outstanding final-year students or fresh graduates with up to 2-years of working experience can qualify for GLP and will be part of a structured learning and development program. They will also receive dedicated mentorship from Shopee leaders.

    Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “With the demand for tech talents significantly rising, Shopee will continue to equip and nurture aspiring tech leaders through various training and internships like the Global Leaders Program. With this, Shopee is inviting those who are eager to learn to join the program. We are looking forward to the next batch of participants who will greatly contribute to the future of e-commerce in the region and in the  international landscape.”

    Participants of GLP shared how they gained significant professional and personal growth, which will help them excel in their careers in the e-commerce industry.

    For Jan, the GLP is a holistic learning experience. “I love how diverse the possible rotations are and the opportunity for regional exposure is definitely a bonus. The program definitely builds your business acumen and widens your perspective on e-commerce as a whole. GLP is a great training ground to become a better problem solver. Not only do we get to analyze and solve real business problems, there are also many resources available to us. I personally enjoy the GLP training and gatherings wherein we get to hear from GLPs from other countries,” Jan shared.

    Lance, on the other hand, sees GLP as an informative learning experience that opened his eyes to the industry’s broader spectrum. “I’ve always been interested in technology and startups, especially startups that create a new business model and innovation that is grounded on a new perspective or set of values. I wanted to join GLP because I felt it was a great opportunity to develop key leadership and problem-solving skills, while also getting exposure to tech-related businesses and the world of startups,” Lance added.

    Both Jan and Lance are still currently enrolled in the program and consider it as an opportunity to hone their skills and understand the industry better. “If you are looking for strategic exposure and impactful work, apply to Shopee’s GLP. It is definitely a unique training experience that exposes you to highly skilled mentors, all the way to challenging and enriching projects,” Jan explained.

    “If you find yourself interested and excited with roles that require business and problem-solving skills,  then GLP is a great choice. Read up on the program details on the Shopee website and if you find yourself excited or curious about the rotations and challenges in e-commerce, then you should give it a shot,” Lance shared.

    Are you an aspiring tech leader and interested in learning about the e-commerce industry? The application is open until October 30, 2021.

  • Four things Robi Domingo learned to prioritize in the new normal

    Four things Robi Domingo learned to prioritize in the new normal

    Host and youth advocate Robi Domingo has experienced his fair share of challenges this past year. Just like most, the stress of the pandemic took a significant toll on him and his family.

    “It came to a point that I asked myself if I made the right decision not to pursue medicine. When everyone needed a frontliner, why didn’t I become a doctor?” Robi shared.

    The situation taught him certain things that many would take for granted before the pandemic happened. Now, Robi found ways to keep himself productive and healthy, and he continued to use his platform for good. Here are four things he learned to prioritize even more:

    1. Staying physically healthy and fit

    Because his parents are frontliners, Robi admitted they were scared of the virus coming to their home. To ensure everyone’s health, they are medicine-ready, focused on staying fit, and have set up automated alcohol dispensers in various rooms. Using a product like Shield+ Alcohol is also important for Robi because it helps disinfect and kills germs. It also has vitamin E and collagen to moisturize dry skin caused by constant sanitizing.

    1. Watching out for his mental health

    Robi emphasized the importance of mental health, especially since many remain cooped up at home and, at the same time, experience different levels of stress. He acknowledges how fortunate he is to have parents who remind him to de-stress. Plus, he started making a daily schedule to have more control over his life in these uncertain times. His advice for everyone: “Let people know you’re there for them, to listen to them, and be proactive in asking how they are doing.” For Robi, the latter may be key to unlocking powerful stories and, somehow, reduce the baggage they are dealing with.

    1. Taking up new hobbies

    While many Filipinos—his dad for instance—have become plant parents to stay productive at home, Robi went back to playing the piano to relax. His mom usually asks him to learn and play songs from K-drama shows like Goblin and Crash Landing On You. He also brings up how important it is to find hobbies to recharge and refresh one’s mind, especially during stressful times.

    1. Making a positive impact

    As a public personality, Robi learned the power of using his platform to spread awareness and encourage the youth to make good choices, especially with the upcoming elections. “Beyond protecting ourselves, registering to vote resonates with the youth now. I want them to realize that the power is really in our hands,” he said.

    Robi is also passionate about supporting farmers and sustainability. As the brand ambassador for Shield+ Alcohol, a Filipino-made alcohol that is concocted using sustainable sugarcane, he believes that using this product can help protect customers, at the same time support the local sugarcane industry.

    “Shield+ Alcohol doesn’t just keep your hands clean, but also moisturizes since alcohol can be drying. Most importantly, it supports the farmers and contributes to the sustainable development of our country and the planet with the use of renewable local resources,” he shared.

    The maker of Shield+ Alcohol, Universal Robina Corporation Agro-Industrial Group (URC AIG), shared that Robi was a perfect fit as the ambassador of the brand. “Robi’s values are very much aligned with URC’s. We believe in the capabilities of Filipinos and we aspire to have a sustainable future,” URC AIG Managing Director Vincent Go said.

    Shield+ Alcohol’s ambassador, actor and host Robi Domingo

    If there’s anything that this pandemic taught people like Robi, it’s that keeping one’s health in check should go beyond protection through constant hand sanitizing. One should also focus on their body, mental well-being, and making a positive impact on the people around them during these challenging times.

    Shield+ Alcohol comes in two scents and six different bottle sizes. It is available in select online merchants and supermarkets nationwide.

  • More Filipinos depend on pawning to ease pandemic woes

    More Filipinos depend on pawning to ease pandemic woes

    Cebuana Lhuillier offers higher appraisal rates; opens more branches to further serve clients.

    CONTINUOUSLY GROWING ITS NETWORK TO REACH MORE KA-CEBUANAS. Amidst the pandemic, Cebuana Lhuillier opens more branches to consistently meet the micro-financial needs of every Filipino. Photo shows one of the recently opened Cebuana Lhuillier container van stores located in Kiblawan, Davao del Sur

    For over three decades, Cebuana Lhuillier has been a constant ally for many Filipinos, especially those in dire need of financial resources due to emergencies and unexpected expenses. Thanks to its many branches and consistent top-notch service, Cebuana Lhuillier has become a valuable member of every Filipino family since its early days as an emerging pawnshop brand in the early ‘80s.

    “Cebuana Lhuillier has always believed in its mission of financial inclusion – ensuring that every Filipino has consistent and reliable access to financial services, especially during times of need. The company has remained consistent with this promise in the last three decades, as reflected in our product offerings, service innovations, and constant efforts to increase our branches to reach many of our kababayans,” shared Cebuana Lhuillier president & CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier.

    The need for quick, easy, and reliable access to cash became more pronounced when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the Philippines in early 2020 and strict lockdowns were put in place, with pawnshops serving as a one-stop shop for easy loan and remittance transactions.

    A trusted ally during tough times

    For clients like Melanie Gratil of Sorsogon, pawning provides her and her family with the opportunity to start anew while also providing funds for important expenses, “Makakatulong ito pandagdag ng puhunan sa aming fruit stand at gastusin ng mga bata sa eskwelahan. Dito ako sa Cebuana Lhuillier kasi maganda ang appraisal rates nila.”

    The importance of higher appraisal fees was echoed by another long-term client Jhonyfer Gapa who credits the high appraisal fee as a big factor for his continued patronage. Like Melanie, Jhonyfer uses his pawning proceeds to start and sustain a small business.

    Through pawning, clients like Melanie and Jhonyfer are given the opportunity to earn a decent living and continuously provide for their families through their small business which continued to flouris, even in the midst of the pandemic. However, for Raquel Cabigting of Angeles, Pampanga, pawning her valued jewelries has allowed her to sustain a living, especially during these tough times: “May pambili po kami ng pagkain. Salamat po at laging nandiyan ang Cebuana Lhuillier kapag nangangailangan kami ng pera. Natutulungan kami ng pagsasangla,” she shares.

    One of the reasons why pawnshops remain an important part of every community is because it’s always accessible to those in need. “Natutuwa ako dahil hindi na ako mahihirapan na magrenew ng sangla dahil nalipat ko na ito sa pinakamalapit na Cebuana branch,” shares Rosana Rosales of Angadanan, Isabela who always relies on pawning for emergency expenses. By moving her pawned items from another pawnshop to a Cebuana Lhuillier pawnshop nearer her residence, she managed to save time and expenses on commute, and remain safe from any unnecessary exposure, especially during these times.

    Melanie, Jhonyfer, Raquel, and Rosana are just some of the many Filipinos who continue to rely on pawnshops amidst the pandemic lockdowns. In a recent “Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2021” report by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), 64% of households were in financial distress and had to employ coping strategies. Of this, six out of ten Filipino households that experienced these financial difficulties had to pawn some of their possessions, or worse, reduce their food intake, in order to survive the pandemic. (Source)

    Committed to put more value into pawning

    Cebuana Lhuillier understands the impact of its pawning product in the lives of many Filipinos. Since the beginning of the pandemic, all of its branches remained open to serve the long lines of clients waiting to transact at their doors—with many of its branch operations staff remaining committed to keeping their doors open regardless of the lockdown.

    To ensure accessibility and convenience at all times, the company is currently in the midst of branch expansion efforts to intensify its presence especially in rural areas where access to financial services is lacking. To date, the company has already opened 40 more branches, including a stand-alone container van branch located in Kiblawan, a second-class municipality located in Davao del Sur.

    The three-decade-old company’s commitment to financial accessibility and mobility does not end with the continuous push for expanded physical network, but also extends to its use of various digital channels. Last year, the company launched Cebuana-From-Home, a web-based platform which brings the full pawning experience right at the comfort of its clients’ residences. The page allows users to pawn, renew, and redeem at their convenience. Aside from the website, clients can also do their pawning transactions by typing “Cebuana from Home” in Cebuana Lhuillier’s Facebook Messenger and by also calling or texting the branch nearest them.

    Cebuana Lhuillier continues to offer its clients up to 35% higher appraisal rate, giving more value and pawn proceeds for their pawned jewelry and gadgets. Giving its Ka-Cebuanas even more bang for their buck has allowed the company to continuously earn the loyalty of its clients through the years.

    Lhuillier adds, “By providing our clients greater accessibility to our pawning service—whether through physical or online channels—while still ensuring that they get the best value for their pawned items highlights Cebuana Lhuillier’s commitment to grow and evolve based on the ever-evolving needs of the market.”

    To further add excitement to the company’s push for its pawning service and to usher in the coming Christmas season, Cebuana Lhuillier recently launched the “Sangla Xpress to the Max,” a promo for new pawn and pawn renewal transactions. At stake is a brand-new motorcycle and cash prizes for lucky clients who will transact at any Cebuana Lhuillier branch nationwide or through Cebuana-from-Home. Promo runs until November 14, 2021.

    Supplementing the “Sangla Xpress to the Max” promo are recently-launched promos for pawning and remittance transactions specifically customized, based on the company’s regional markets nationwide. With varying prizes from gold j, sacks of rice, motorcycles, gadgets, noche buena packages, and cash prizes up to half a million pesos, the market-specific promotions are pegged to give additional incentives and excitement for Ka-Cebuana clients all the way till December 31, 2021.

    COMMITTED TO FINANCIAL INCLUSION. Jean Henri Lhuillier, President & CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier, continues his push for constant innovation in bringing Cebuana Lhuillier’s pawning service to more Filipinos especially during these difficult times.

    Gong cha also shares how partnering with ShopeePay allows them to showcase their products and reach a broader audience through regular participation in ShopeePay promos and campaigns. Gong cha Philippines, Inc., said, “ShopeePay enhanced Gong cha’s publicity in digital marketing. Every month is most awaited because of the monthly sales and surprise deals; it’s our way to give our customers more of the best milk tea experience from Taiwan to the world!” Through the acceptance of ShopeePay QR payments in their stores, Gong cha was able to grow their daily transactions via ShopeePay by 33X since launch.

    Moonleaf also saw a 50x uplift in customers who use ShopeePay since the partnership was launched due to the exclusive discounts and promos they are able to offer.

  • Shopee Supports Brands Participating in 10.10 by Cultivating Customer Loyalty and Comprehensive Marketing Solutions

    Shopee Supports Brands Participating in 10.10 by Cultivating Customer Loyalty and Comprehensive Marketing Solutions

    Deerma, Havaianas, Johnson & Johnson, and P&G Beauty share how effective Shopee’s marketing tools are in helping them grow their brand online.

    As e-commerce continues to see strong growth in the Philippines, brands continue to redouble their marketing efforts. This includes expanding the brands’ presence across all channels, including on Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. With the surge of consumers driving the need for digital transformation, four brands share how they maximize the potential of e-commerce with the support from Shopee’s various programs and enhanced marketing solutions.

    Johnson & Johnson reaches new customers with Shopee Brand Memberships Program

    Shopee helps brands encourage loyalty with its Brand Memberships Program, which was launched in July of this year. It is a new customer management and retention tool that enables brands on Shopee Mall to build deeper connections with potential and existing customers, converting them into valuable lifetime customers. For Johnson & Johnson, the program drove customer retention and repeat purchases from their store on the Shopee platform. The program was also an opportunity for the brand to express its gratitude towards loyal customers by providing them with rewards, redeemable gifts and vouchers, and exclusive access to the best deals.

    Denise Peralta, Head of E-commerce at Johnson & Johnson Philippines Inc., said, “The program gave us access to a new customer base that we could engage with via the chat broadcast. We maximized this feature at our recently concluded Super Brand Day, which delivered results 108% above target. Moreover, members who bought our special deals were able to earn more points, and we intend to continue giving them these unique deals this upcoming 10.10!”

    Havaianas ties up in-app tools with off-platform initiatives

    Renowned Brazilian flip flops and sandals brand Havaianas launched its official Shopee store in March of 2020 to expand its digital presence in leading platforms through Terry SA, the exclusive Philippine distributor of Havaianas. With Shopee’s support, Havaianas consistently performs well on the platform as they were able to tap on the marketing solutions such as Shopee ads and campaign packages to complement Havaianas’ off-platform initiatives, driving greater synergy across branding and marketing. The efforts resulted in top sales during Shopee big campaigns, and this milestone is recognized across Asia by the Havaianas regional office and globally by Facebook Business.

    Jenny Teves, Marketing Director at  Havaianas Philippines, said, “E-commerce is here to stay, and the market behaviors have shifted. Any company determined to succeed in retail needs to transform its business to adapt to these changes — It’s time to level up or get left behind. Our online growth would not be complete without establishing a store in Shopee, and they have always been a supportive partner in expanding our business on the platform. Through Shopee ads, mega campaign packages, and Shopee Live streams, along with their help and guidance, we have reached and surpassed our targets consistently.”

    Deerma sees success with vouchers, deals, and promos

    Established in 2011, Deerma Group offers household and kitchen appliances with good design, durable quality, and high-cost performance. With plans to expand their production efforts, Deerma joined Shopee in October of 2020. They tapped into other regions and promoted their product line effectively. The brand achieved and maintained a monthly average growth of 30 percent in sales, and this is largely due to the app’s promotional tools such as Vouchers, Discount Promotions, Bundle Deals, and engagement features like Shopee Live and Chat.

    Jane Xuan, General Manager of ORRO Home, said, “Deerma continues to grow with the strong support of Shopee. They guided us throughout our partnership, which helped us commit and improve our overall performance. We will continue to work with Shopee to create a better tomorrow for every Filipino household.”

    P&G Beauty fosters growth with engagement tools on Shopee

    P&G Beauty joined Shopee to reach customers across the country. Through various Shopee campaigns, P&G Beauty can meet the needs of every Filipino family in a convenient and rewarding manner. With Shopee’s in-app tools such as Chat broadcasts and Shopee Live, P&G Beauty continuously grows on the platform, recording significant milestones such as improved effectiveness in driving conversion, increased engagement, and a 20 percent increase in sales. Notable P&G Beauty brands such as Pantene, Oral B, Whisper, Gillette, Rejoice, Herbal Essences, Old Spice, Olay Body Science, Safeguard, and Head & Shoulders, drove high conversion rates during big campaigns, with the last three being the highest performing brands.

    Shania Felizarta, E-Commerce Brand Manager at P&G Beauty, said, “Salamat Shopee for giving us a space where collaboration and creativity are limitless! The team we work with at Shopee collaborates with us to ensure that growth is shared. We thank Shopee for being supportive and flexible to help bring our ideas to life, providing customers safe and convenient access to the things they need, as well as much joy throughout this pandemic.”

  • Things Only Financially Independent Millennials Can Relate to

    Things Only Financially Independent Millennials Can Relate to

    If you take advantage of online payments’ convenience and rewards, then you’re one of them!

    Were you born between 1981 to 1996? If you answered ‘yes,’ then you’re a millennial! Millennials experienced life before smartphones, social media, and the internet, while also living and thriving in the current digital age. Although millennials sometimes get an undeserved bad rap, this generation, in fact, displays high levels of maturity and responsibility—they’re socially aware, financially conscious, and tech-savvy.

    Do you consider yourself a financially independent millennial? Here’s a quick adulting checklist for all you independent millennials:

    You pay your household and utility bills on time.

    Tired of getting late notices for your bills? Now, you are more responsible with your spending and settle all your financial obligations on time. Through ShopeePay, you can pay for your utility bills right from the comforts of your home and enjoy up to 25% cashback. These include companies such as Meralco, Maynilad, Globe, Smart, PLDT, SkyCable, and many more.

    You have enough to give to your family.

    In Filipino culture, it’s considered an act of love and a way to show gratitude when children extend monetary support to their parents. With enough savings, you can give back to your parents by helping them financially and even have sufficient funds for yourself. Sending money to your loved ones is easy and free with ShopeePay. To transfer money, just click “Transfer” on your ShopeePay wallet and input the recipient. You can also make your transfers more special with themed virtual cards! Before transferring cash, make sure that your ShopeePay is verified.

    You have your own place.

    …and you’re way ahead of your rent. There’s nothing more satisfying than being able to afford your own place where you can relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Did you get a loan to fund your apartment’s security deposit? Through ShopeePay, you can settle your loans on time and with ease from third-party lenders such as Dragonloans, Home Credit, SkyPay, and Cashalo.

    You know where to find the best deals.

    You’re practical and are always on the lookout for the best deals out there. With ShopeePay, you can maximize discounts, cashback, and “Buy 1, Take 1” promos at thousands of partner merchants nationwide. You also don’t miss out on ₱1 deals which can be used for adulting essentials like groceries, food, and gas. ShopeePay partner merchants include Puregold, Potato Corner, Seaoil, Lawson, National Bookstore, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Tiger Sugar, and more.

    You donate to charitable causes.

    Another Filipino trait most millennials possess is generosity. Even with the global situation right now, you’re still giving towards others. ShopeePay lets you donate to these partner organizations: Caritas, Gawad Kalinga, GMA Kapuso Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Red Cross Philippines, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Save Philippine Seas, Save The Children, UNICEF, Virlanie Foundation, World Vision, and many more.
