Celebrities Drive Authentic Connection on Shopee Live

Responding to the shifting e-commerce trend towards a more humanised online shopping experience* local celebrities Zoey Rahman and Lan Solo are actively stepping into the digital spotlight, curating and presenting products on Shopee’s own livestream channel, Shopee Mamak. Whether it's Zoey Rahman's insightful product reviews or Lan Solo's captivating demonstrations, these celebrities are going beyond traditional endorsements. This shift towards interactive and personalised content is a win-win for all users, creating a humanised online shopping experience.

Celebrities Advocates Authenticity to Build Brand Trust in E-commerce 

A human-centric online shopping experience prioritises genuine product sharing and builds connections through shared experience. Lan Solo, a member of the Shopee Celebrity Squad and a popular Malaysian singer known for his engaging Shopee Mamak content, emphasised this shift: "It isn’t just about showcasing or selling products. Live streaming is all about two-way conversations. We encourage questions, respond to comments in real-time, and create a sense of community.” Lan Solo’s Shopee Mamak streams consistently pull in an average viewership of over 50K Malaysians.

Fellow Shopee Celebrity Squad member and founder of Mikaseries, Zoey Rahman, echoed this sentiment.  "People connect with authenticity. On Shopee Live, I can share genuine product recommendations, offering viewers valuable insights beyond just a celebrity endorsement."  One of Zoey’s recent Shopee Mamak sessions drew a record number of over 60K viewers, showcasing the power of expert advice delivered in a relatable and engaging format.

Celebrities Champions Personalised E-commerce Content That Connects 

Many businesses see the potential of live streaming by connecting directly with customers through Shopee Live. But for some, the world of live commerce can feel like uncharted territory.  New sellers are eager to jump on the bandwagon, but questions like "Where do I even begin?" or "What kind of content should I create?" cloud their minds.

Zoey gave his expert take on maximising e-commerce efforts through Shopee Live. "Live streaming might seem casual, but a well-defined content strategy is key." He stressed audience research, “It's important to know what your audience is interested in before you start your live stream. What kind of content that’s both interesting and informative to them?” Besides, Zoey emphasised the importance of authenticity, advocating for live sellers to provide genuine recommendations. His commitment to authenticity went beyond mere recommendations. He personally tested products before showcasing them on Shopee Live, for example health supplements like Redoxon Cal-D Effervescent Tablets and KITSUI Whitie Snow Probiotic. This firsthand experience allowed him to identify key benefits and present them from a user's perspective, not just a salesperson's. By prioritising transparency, Zoey built trust with his viewers, avoiding hard sells in favour of genuine recommendations.

Lan shared a similar view when asked about his content strategy to succeed in Shopee Live. “Storytelling is a great way to engage viewers and reduce drop offs. Think of it as hanging out with friends and talking about something you're passionate about – your products!” Instead of bombarding viewers with sales tactics like pushing them to purchase, Lan suggested weaving stories around the products. “Imagine sharing funny anecdotes about a particular item or offering your own experiences that resonate with your audience. This approach keeps them engaged and interested in learning more.” Lan Solo, a parent himself, put this advice into action, leveraging his experience to recommend the Anakku Disney Baby Bath. His relatable stories resonated with parent viewers who trusted his firsthand knowledge and advice. Both Zoey Rahman and Lan Solo's sharing align perfectly with the growing trend of live commerce.  

Shopee Live Empowers Sellers with Its Useful Live Streaming Features

Zoey highlighted the advantages of using Shopee Live as a platform for live streaming:  "It's a built-in feature on Shopee, ready for you to engage your audience directly.” Emphasising the convenience, Zoey added, “It's so convenient that sellers can ditch the brick-and-mortar overhead. They can live stream directly from their phones – anytime, anywhere!" Shopee Live allows sellers to launch live streams easily just through a phone – a convenient and cost-effective way to connect with audiences.

"Shopee Live is like having your own mini broadcast, but without the production hassle," said Lan Solo, echoing the platform's user-friendliness. “Unlike traditional live streaming, Shopee Live empowers sellers to go live with ease. Shopee Live's easy-to-use features, such as live chat functionality, and exclusive deals, empower brands and sellers to connect with audiences in an interactive way, ultimately leading to increased brand awareness and brand loyalty.”

Top Tips For Buying Second-Hand Furniture Online

It’s important to have stylish, functional, and practical furniture in each room of the house, but it can also cost a small fortune to buy even basic furniture. This can make it challenging when you need to furnish your home or even replace just one item, but there’s a great way to save money on furniture—buying it second-hand.

 

Buying second-hand furniture is a lot more affordable than buying new, and you’ll get a lot more for your money. You can also find cute, rare, and vintage items for sale in the second-hand marketplace, allowing you to add style and personality to your home. Here are a few tips for buying second-hand furniture.

 

 

Buy From Trusted Platforms

 

First, you should only ever buy second-hand furniture from trusted platforms. There are several large marketplaces that will have a huge range of furniture to choose from, but you’ll also benefit from consumer protection when you use a trusted platform.

 

 

Check Seller Ratings & Reviews

 

You should also check the seller rating and read previous customer reviews before deciding to go ahead with the purchase. You’ll want to buy from a seller with a good rating with positive reviews to ensure you have a positive experience. Additionally, be sure to stay safe if you go to check over a piece of furniture or pick it up yourself.

 

 

Check Listings Carefully

 

When buying second-hand furniture, you should always go through the listing slowly and carefully. Sellers need to be honest about any damage or imperfections, but they may include this information subtly. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with a bit of wear and tear, but you’ll want to make sure that the item is in good condition and worth the money.

 

 

Ask Questions

 

You should also always think of a question or two to ask the seller. This allows you to find out more information about the item before buying it, as well as get an idea of whether the seller is reliable and proactive.

 

 

Negotiate

 

You don’t want to shy away from negotiating for the item, as you could make further savings simply by asking. Negotiating is expected on these platforms, so it’s always worth a go. You can use a few tips from the internet to improve your haggling skills and get a better deal.

 

 

Compare Delivery Options

 

Finally, you need to think about delivery as this can be another cost to factor in. I got a free shipping quote from an online platform, which allows you to compare quotes from dozens of delivery companies in one place. This makes it easy to compare your options and get quotes from reliable delivery drivers. They often advertise their services as they’re already completing similar trips, so you can make significant savings with this approach. You’ll also benefit from peace of mind, knowing that your item is being picked up and delivered by a reliable delivery driver.

 

 

Buying second-hand furniture is a great way to keep your costs down and find interesting pieces for your home, but you must also know how to find what you’re looking for and get a good deal.

#ShopeeRaiLokal Introduces Raya Stail Kita For All Malaysians, Fashion Show Celebrates Kek Lapis, Burnt Orange, and Tarakucha Retro

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, on 5 March 2024, unveiled its #ShopeeRaiLokal Raya Stail Kita fashion show on Shopee Live, to inspire Malaysians nationwide to dress well and buy local. Themed ‘Tarakucha Retro’, Shopee collaborated with long-term sellers, celebrities, and influencers to style Malaysians for three 2024 trends this Raya: kek lapis, burnt orange, and nostalgia with a twist. 

“This fashion show is a love letter to the golden days of P. Ramlee and Saloma,” said Shopee Head of Marketing, Kenneth Soh. “By design, fashion, and beauty on Shopee is deliberately wholesome and inclusive for all Malaysians who need to balik kampung, pay respects to their elders, and attend Raya celebrations all over the country with dignity. With Raya Stail Kita, Malaysians can now dress with style and support their local sellers.”

Raya Stail Kita fashion show is the third chapter in #ShopeeRaiLokal, an episodic content platform to feature local sellers who build communities*. Ten Shopee muslimah fashion sellers, namely Ashikin Ahmad, Liyana Collection, Adnaa, Indah Pesona, Hernes, Inhanna, Zoe Arissa, Panda Eyes, Bayu Somerset, and Mikaseries by Zoey Rahman, and Habib Jewels joined forces in the spirit of gotong-royong to sponsor outfits and accessories to complete the looks.

Sponsoring brands lending their generosity to the event included beauty and skincare names such as Y.O.U, SimplySiti, SilkyGirl, Papa Feel, Mikaseries, lemooc, Emina, Dazzle Me, barenbliss, Alha Alfa, and AISASEA.

The curation of fashion runway’s looks was in line with the survey result from Raya Stail Kita study** covering Malaysian shoppers on the platform. The survey revealed that over 9 in 10 surveyed are driven to shop by coordinating looks with their whole family this Raya. Five in ten embrace the layer cake Raya trend, four in ten buy retro outfits and the remainder search burnt orange. 

Across the platform, Malaysians overwhelmingly prefer cotton (over 50%) as the fabric of choice, followed by silks (20%) and Songket (15%). A minority shop for brocade and organza. The top colours Malaysians are shopping for this Raya are: neutral tones (50%), then flaming vibrant colours like reds, oranges and gold yellow (30%), followed by solid dark greens and purples (20%).

A departure from run-of-the-mill fashion shows, Shopee’s runway slowed down the models’ catwalks to teach audiences nationwide how different garments could be styled from a variety of brands for each look to coordinate with their whole families. 

Body positive model Hikma Al Hassan headlined Shopee’ inclusive and affordable looks that were curated based on how Malaysians are shopping for their Baju Raya online. With its first look, Kek Lapis, Shopee called for Malaysians to experiment with unconventional layering of colors, prints, and textures. 

As popularized by Intan Najuwa at her wedding recently, Shopee then presented various ways to dress Burnt Orange this season for both men and women of various skin tones. The final look, Nostalgia Balik Kampung, encapsulated a rich tapestry of traditional and retro styles familiar to every Malaysian.

Kiffy Razak, Managing Editor of NONA, Hijabista, and Mingguan Wanita,  gave her styling advice on how Malaysians could tap into popular trends and dress up these looks: “Incorporating a dash of kek lapis color blocking, lively yet chic orange or nostalgia in one’s ensemble while integrating a bit of glam and a classic touch to perfect the look will provide an excellent nod to Raya trends this year. More importantly, it’s about interpreting and styling it in a way that reflects your best and true self as well as respecting values and cherished traditions you hold dear in celebration of Eid.”

Shopee is dedicated to offering a diverse and wholesome range of fashion choices for the whole family. Dato’ Jovian Mandagie, a Fashion Designer who also has Shopee Celebrity Squad store on Shopee, echoes this sentiment with his expert take: “Aidilfitri is a celebration of love and victory over Ramadan, whether you're at a kampung house or a city ballroom. Dress comfortably with modesty in mind. Avoid overdressing that will lead you looking like a Christmas Tree. When choosing baju Raya, prioritize comfort, and only follow trends if they suit your personality.”

Fellow Shopee Celebrity Squad, Zoey Rahman, Malaysian Actor and Founder of Mikaseries, gave his take on how to do Raya 2024: “I prefer classic Baju Melayu featuring a cekak musang collar and concealed buttons. I will style with instant sampin that can be ready within 2 minutes to complete the look. I like this outfit idea because it is classic suitable for Raya morning.”
