  • Shopee reveals key online shopping trends of Filipinos ahead of Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale

    Shopee reveals key online shopping trends of Filipinos ahead of Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale

    Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale features a wide range of deals customized for Filipinos’ tastes from April 28 to May 5

    Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, dove deep into the data of its users in the Philippines to uncover key consumers insights on online shopping in the country. Tapping on its deep understanding of the tastes and preferences of Filipino shoppers, Shopee introduces the Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale from April 28 to 5 May, featuring the daily ₱1 Game and daily 100% cashback vouchers.

    “Shopee has grown tremendously in the past year to firmly establish ourselves as the leading e-commerce platform in the Philippines. We owe a big part of our success to the data-centric approach we use to understand and serve our users. With millions of users and growing, we can generate rich and detailed insights about Filipino online shoppers and design campaigns for their evolving needs. Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale is another example of this, and we are proud to once again help Filipinos save more on a massive range of brands and products catered to their tastes,” said Ruoshan Tao, Head of Marketing at Shopee Philippines.

    Shopee reveals 3 key online shopping trends in the Philippines for 2019, ahead of Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale:

    1. More Filipinos are shopping online

    Metro Manila continued to be the online shopping capital of the Philippines, with the most orders recorded on Shopee since the turn of the year. However, online shopping is quickly becoming the norm nationwide, as Mindanao and Visayas are seeing rapid growth in online shopping activity on Shopee.

    Shopee is also becoming the preferred e-commerce platform for Filipinos to find their favorite products. This is apparent as the number of keyword searches in the first quarter of 2019 increased by 2.5 times compared to the same period last year. Filipinos search most often for terms related to Electronics, Health and Beauty, and Fashion; with Xiaomi, Maybelline, and Vans among the most-searched brands so far in 2019.

    2.Geography shapes online shopping habits in the Philippines

    Shopee has found that online shopping preferences differ across regions in the Philippines. For users in Metro Manila, Health & Beauty and Electronics are the top categories with Xiaomi, Realme, and Honor as the leading smartphone brands. In fact, Realme sold over 1,000 units of its brand-new Realme 3 smartphone in two flash sales, with the first flash sale on March 25 selling out in under an hour.

    For shoppers outside the capital, they prefer to buy Fashion products online as they benefit from a massive assortment of products and styles. In Visayas and Mindanao, Korean-styled apparel and footwear are the most purchased items.

    Filipino online shoppers are also most active during lunch and before bed. For instance, Shopee users from Metro Manila tend to shop online from 12NN to 2 PM. Meanwhile, users in Mindanao and Visayas are most active from 8 to 10 PM.

    3.Men are shopping online more often, and more widely

    Finally, men are shopping online more as e-commerce becomes the norm in the Philippines. Shopping among male users has more than doubled on Shopee in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same time last year.

    Men are also more actively shopping for Fashion and Beauty products, aside from conventional categories such as Electronics and Gaming. Online shopping for skincare items is becoming especially common for men, with face masks ranking among the top 10 most popular products for male Shopee users in the first quarter of 2019.

    Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale: 8 days of unbeatable deals catered to Filipinos’ shopping habits

    Taking place from April 28 to May 5, Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale features 8 days of unbeatable deals including daily ₱1 Games and daily 100% Cashback Vouchers. Armed with a close understanding of Filipinos’ tastes and preferences, Shopee has partnered leading brands in the Philippines including Maybelline, Globe, Enfagrow, and Infinix to deliver up to 90% off the most-wanted items.

  • Redmi 7 returns for an exclusive Flash Deal on Shopee

    Redmi 7 returns for an exclusive Flash Deal on Shopee

    7 things to know about the fastest selling smartphone under ₱6,000 on Shopee

    The Redmi 7, the latest budget smartphone from global technology leader Xiaomi, sold out within 30 minutes after it was put on sale last April 5 on Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. This made the Redmi 7 the fastest-selling smartphone under ₱6,000 on Shopee Philippines. To celebrate the record-breaking feat, Shopee and Xiaomi will once again hold a Flash Deal for the Redmi 7 on April 10 at 2PM.

    Xiaomi is known for smartphones with amazing features at an affordable price and the Redmi 7 lives up to that standard. Here are seven things you should know about this budget phone with a flagship-level design.

    1. Premium-style design

    The Redmi 7 offers an immersive viewing experience with its Dot Drop design and reduced bezels, that’s all Corning® Gorilla® Glass. The case may be plastic but it feels premium in the hand, especially with its stylish gradient back cover available in Comet Blue and Lunar Red.

    1. Powerful processor

    It runs on the Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 632 mobile platform and boasts of an Antutu score of 52520, outperforming other phones in its price range. This gives the Redmi 7 support for a smooth gaming experience and makes it great for daily use.

    1. Infrared (IR) Blaster

    The Redmi 7 comes with an IR blaster that turns the phone into a universal remote to control devices and appliances. No need to search the whole house for the remote control, just use the Redmi 7.

    1. Palm Shutter

    Selfies can be hard to take, but not with the Redmi 7. Use its Palm Shutter feature to conveniently take pictures. Just flash a palm to the camera, like a high five, and the camera will instantly start a countdown timer perfect for getting selfies or groufies on point. Users should watch out because more gestures will be added soon.

    1. 4,000 mAh battery

    With a 4,000 mAh battery, the Redmi 7 can last up to 15 hours of continuous video playback, 26 hours of voice calls and an astounding 412 hours of standby time. Users can also listen to 3,778 tracks continuously on a single charge.

    1. True dual sim tray

    Many dual smartphones sport a hybrid sim card tray, where only one slot is dedicated to a sim card, and the other is a hybrid sim card-memory card slot. With the Redmi 7, on the other hand, users can have all three running at the same time with its three card tray – two slots for sim cards and one for the memory card. Perfect for people who want all their contacts and data in one device.

    REX Showcases Latest Learning Solutions at EduTECH Philippines 2019

    EduTECH Philippines is a gathering of the tech sector´s leading solutions providers whose works are geared toward advancing the field of education through innovative applications of technology. The event was held at SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia last February 20 and 21, 2019. In the recently concluded conference, REX Book Store has once again proven that it is ahead of the curve when it comes to progressive and holistic learning solutions designed for 21st century learning.

    With over 5,500 attendees the conference´s theme of ¨21st Century Quality Education for all in the Philippines¨ was a resounding success for participants and exhibitors alike. Keynote speakers Fr. Benigno Beltran, SVD of Sandiwaan Center for Learning initiated the conference´s lineup with his presentation entitled ¨Design Thinking in education.¨ Mike Gilmour of GEMS World Academy, Singapore inspired the audience with his experience and thoughts on ¨Leadership-Influencing Organisational Excellence through 21st Century Skills.¨ William Sanchez, representing Saxion University of Applied Sciences from the Netherlands, gave insights with his keynote on ¨Get ready for a smart world: The connected teacher & 21st century learning.¨ The tech innovations showcased at the conference were oriented towards helping shape the future of learning, and REX´s exhibition featured its latest learning solutions designed for the Whole Child.

    The REX booth featured Quidbots, electronic building blocks that are modular, magnetic, color-coded, and reusable. The building kit inspires students to innovate, invent, and create solutions based on a program aligned with K-12. With the kit, students can learn how to make simple machines and applications like alarm systems, switches, and simple tools. The booth also featured Schoology, a learning management system that serves as a platform for connecting students, parents, and educators all in a single, cohesive, and easy-to-use digital learning environment. Another learning solution featured is TestPro, a digital exam builder tool that helps educators created their own customized exams for Basic Education students. A new coding programme was also introduced, with curious students and participants spiritedly asking questions about Scottie Go, a tile-based learning app that helps young learners become familiar with the basic concepts of programming and acquire skills as they navigate through a space travel themed adventure game.

    The idea behind REX´s booth this year was how technology has helped transform the field of education into something more oriented towards how young learners must be able to creatively solve and adapt to problems and innovate with their own solutions. With the help of products that foster critical thinking and problem solving skills, REX hopes that students will be able to form and come up with their own inventions, prototypes that will solve everyday problems, letting them think outside the box and become ready for the challenges that lay ahead in the future.
