KUALA LUMPUR: Shopee, Malaysia’s no.1 e-commerce platform, has launched its biggest ever 11.11 Big Sale and extended charitable initiatives to help cancer patients.
In a recent statement, Shopee said the 11.11 Big Sale featured attractive discounts and exclusive privileges for online shoppers.
The shopping event is the platform’s biggest one yet, kicking off free shipping with a minimum spend of RM11, daily cashback up to 111 per cent and a chance to purchase a Toyota Vios for only RM1 - from October 24 to November 11.
Also making a debut at this year's 11.11 Big Sale is popular food and beverage (F&B) chain KFC with exclusive discounts of up to 52 per cent valid only on 11th November.
Top banks such as CIMB, Citibank, HSBC, RHB, Standard Chartered and UOB are offering special discounts for their cardholders with upsized vouchers on November 11.
Users of the Boost e-wallet can buy Shopee cash vouchers at 10 per cent off to score better savings.
Shopee said the 11.11 Big Sale will feature fun in-app games like Shopee Catch, Shopee Strike, Voucher Together-Gether, Shopee Lucky Egg and Shopee Quiz on the App, all with Shopee Coins and vouchers to be won.
A total of 11 million orders were recorded on November 11 last year, signifying a 24 times increase from Shopee’s first 11.11 Big Sale campaign back in 2016.
With the introduction of new features, games and tech enhancements and along with new local and international brands that have on boarded the platform over the past year, Shopee expects this 11.11 Big Sale to be its biggest one yet.
This year, Shopee regional managing director Ian Ho said the group and partners had donated RM33,000 to National Cancer Council Malaysia or Majlis Kanser Nasional (MAKNA).
"Using our greatest asset - the sheer amount of traffic to our platform during the 11.11 Big Sale, we decided to run #ShopeeMAKNA 11.11 Charity Challenge to assign the campaign with more meaning other than just shopping," he said.
"We are making the entire fundraising activity fun and engaging with a star-studded Shopee Live show.
Ho said Malaysians can donate via the ShopeeMAKNA Official Store where they can select their preferred amount from as low as RM5. Those donating are eligible for a tax exemption receipt from Makna.
Shopee is also working with Sunway Medical Centre to encourage Malaysians to get themselves checked for cancer.
Ho said Sunway Medical Centre will be providing the first 300 donors who donate RM100 with a complimentary blood test worth RM100 and the first 50 donors who donate RM250 with a complimentary 3D mammogram package worth RM430 via the ShopeeMAKNA official store.
As part of the campaign, Sunway Medical Centre will also be donating RM20,000 to Makna.
