Shopee has announced the start of its year-end shopping season, starting with the popular 9.9 Super Shopping Day which offers users deals, entertainment and rewards.

It began the event in 2016, and it now marks the start of the year-end shopping season and is much anticipated by shoppers across Southeast Asia.

Tran Tuan Anh, general manager of Shopee Vietnam said: “The pandemic continues to affect both individuals and businesses. As communities continue to live, work, shop and play from home, we have stepped up our efforts to ensure users have access to their daily essentials through our shopping campaigns.

“We are also committed to supporting local MSMEs and have launched a series of support initiatives as well as the Dong Hanh Cung Shopee and Chung Tay Vuot COVID-19 campaigns to generate greater visibility and enable users to easily identify and support local businesses.

“We look forward to bringing some joy to our local communities during this year-end season.”

The deals include discounts, free shipping with no minimum spend, 50 per cent off vouchers, and giveaways.

Joining the sale will be a wide network of partners offering an assortment of products ranging from daily essentials to premium items.

A survey by Shopee found that over 90 per cent of users across the region seek out information to make better purchase decisions during sales campaigns.

Mega shopping events also attract new online shoppers, with Shopee finding that 43 per cent of shoppers make their first ever online purchase during its year-end campaigns. — VNS
