This is just some news over the shopping habits of Filipinos this Christmas season, Shopee just got hold of the numbers and it has been astounding. Compared to last years shopping activities, this year, Shopee has garnered a whopping 4x the amount of items sold on the platform compared to 2019. This 12.12 Big Christmas sale has officially broken records in just the first hour and there are also several shopping habits seen on the platform.

Top purhcases came from Home & Living (congrats titos and titas of Manila), Men's Apparel (because your man deserves it), Health and Personal Care (because we need to fight covid and also look good). Most purchases came from Metro Manila, next is South Luzon and last is North Luzon. The top shopper for the platform made 100 orders on this day and the most popular product are Men's Joggers. (It's pretty cold and nippy these past few days and men want something comfy and protect them from the cold nights LOL). They sold around 30,000 pieces of it. Next product comes close at 20,000 for shoe box organizers, which reminds me, I need a lot of that LOL!

Big Things Coming on SHOPEE's 12.12 BIG Christmas Sale

Oh yes big things are coming on SHOPEE's 12.12 BIG Christmas Sale. We got the chance to see what will happen this December and the grand day on 12.12 earlier including an appearance from Jose Mari Chan and the one and only Queen of all Media Ms. Kris Aquino. Shopee also told us some of their milestones and what the next few days would look like with the 12.12 event coming our way.

Martin Yu, Director of Shopee Philippines shares "2020 has accelerated everything digital. Shopee has innovated its platform in the region and has driven growth despite the pandemic. This brings the human touch to online shopping. Consumers want to be entertained, informed and Shopee has made changes to make it more meaningful. Livestream has increased 10 times across the region. From January to September this year, it has quadrupled. Some of our partner brands have also increased sales and have captivated more users and changed the lives of a lot of Filipinos. Consumers get overwhelmed shopping online and we are personalizing the experience by refining our recommendation engines to fit your needs. This has been AI driven, and at Shopee there is no one size fits all solution so we tailor fit it to Filipinos. In integration efforts, our logistics system, payments and Shopee mall has been further strengthened. We have daily segments, a new ambassador with Kris Aquino and have launched different programs to support our shoppers and sellers. We are also happy to have been able to give back through the Shopee Bayanihan in app donation drive. We have pledged 10,000 vaccines for DOH, launched campaigns for the benefit of front liners too.


He added "On December 12 itself, there will be nonstop promos on the app itself. Flash deals every ten minutes, free shipping, big disounts with big brands. Thanks to participating brands who have given us their support. We are also doing 12.12 Big Christmas TV Special on December 12 Saturday at 10AM. Stay tuned for that! We couldn't have done this without you! Maraming salamat po!"

 

They awarded several brands for also doing good on the platform. They had several successful campaigns in the recent months. It has proved to be successful in sales too!

 

 

Father Christmas Jose Mari Chan also had a surprise and quips "To my Shopee family, thank you so much. Christmas is family, I will  spend it with my children and my grandchildren. I will be singing my newest Christmas song for you today. Merry Christmas! My wish for you is good health, to return to our families, remember to love your family during this pandemic, we really hope for the best for all of us."

I was super ecstatic to see Ms. Kris Aquino in the same virtual room as ours and she says "Shopping is my hobby and I've been buying things off Shopee during quarantine. I have broken Shopee Pay. I am so happy to be part of Shopee that's why I'm always happy. I want to sing with Joe (ahahaha "that signature laugh"). Thank you to Shopee for increasing riders during 11.11 because I read the comments I see on my social media channels, you are helping a lot of families. I am praying for more things this 12.12 so we can help more. We need to hold hands, help each other out to bring back the economy. I salute Shopee for not giving up, now there are thousands of riders delivering for their work and families. When I get my Shopee products delivered, it is my happy day when I receive my items. I want to be able soon to have Shopee pay cards so I can show my appreciation to front line workers, you know it feels good to be appreciated, Filipinos need it right now especially the front liners. The best way to do that is stay home, stay safe and do Shopee so they feel good while they are at home."

 

There will also be some huge discounts with brands from the Shopee mall and if you also use other payment channels.

Shopee Endorsed by Kris Aquino

I had my heart on my sleeve when I saw a silhouette quite familiar to me... but remained a mystery to some of my blogger and media friends one morning. I am sure they wouldn't be able to guess who this is, but at that time I already had a pretty good hunch. The holidays are of an important part of the Filipinos lives and Shopee is launching 11.11 and 12.12 in a big way. They got the one with the huge personality, the one that got us all in the edge of our seats when she opens her mouth, she's a source of happiness and a ball of fun, speaks of truth, classy, with an impressive command of English and hell of a lot tactless at times, much like me, and I love her for that. She is no other than Kris Aquino.

The mother of Kuya Josh and Bimby is now the official endorser of Shopee. What I felt during this time was an OMG floating on top of my head. I couldn't believe they got the queen of all media doing the best job this season, but in hindsight, I couldn't blame them at all. I was excited, to say the least, to see her doing what she does the best, and she hosted the online media conference's games to give us a taste of what's going to happen this November and the Christmas season. 

11.11 and 12.12 was also explained to us briefly by the Shopee Country Head Martin Yu. In a nutshell, Shopee is growing and so is the trust of the Filipino consumer with their app. They showcased how they have given access to e-commerce to everyone and will continue to do so in the coming years. Now that everything is online, they even got necessities like groceries in the app making it easier for consumers to repeatedly use the platform and make it part of their daily lives. Making sure also that it is safer, from shopping, shipping to receiving the packages and I can attest to its convenience (oh I always Shopee). Ms. Kris also told us of her different purchases during quarantine which includes all pink items, pink surgical masks, knick knacks and a lot of other items in the same color shade (not surprised, it's why I love her!). During 11.11 and 12.12, they will have FREE Shipping Days, a Flash Sale Day (Nov 4), ShopeePay Day (Nov 5), Games Day (Nov 9), and my favorite Voucher Day (on November 10th). Not only that, they'll be having special brand sales which includes top ones in the country, they made it bigger for you because Shopee is a huge partner.

Kris also told us that there will be several opportunities to also help. Organizations and charity institutions will have direct channels on the app where consumers can directly help so it would be easy for them to do so. It will include Digital Charity Sales, Co-Branded Livestream with Brand donations and an in-app donation drive which I find so endearing. Imagine, they took time and effort to do this so they could help causes which are also close to Kris Aquino's heart, which is such a noble cause. They call it Shopee Bayanihan Pamaskong Pambata.

Kris will also have participation not just in the commercials, but also in a big 11.11 Christmas Special which will happen on November 11th in Wowowin. They will also be having a whopping Php 1 Million worth of Daily Cash Prize in the 11.11 and 12.12 Christmas Millionaire special which will happen soon, so stay tuned for that!

By the way, we got first dibs on the new Shopee commercial and all I can say is, that Kris Aquino you miss will be so much fun to see. I don't want to spoil it for you, but all her iconic acts will be involved in it. Shopee also promises there will be more in store for you this 11.11 and 12.12, and I can't wait for you to find out more about it. Make sure you download the app on Google Play or the App Store. 

Kris also said not to call her Ms. Kris anymore, as it is one of her pet peeves. She also says "Shopee came in when I was in one of the lowest point in my life and I am thankful for the trust they've given me!"

Congratulations Kris! I am so happy for you and your whole family!
