#1 with you!’ realme hailed no. 1 best-selling mobile brand in Lazada, Shopee 12.12 sale

Tweet

The country’s no. 1 smartphone brand for three consecutive quarters in 2021

dominated various tech categories during the recently concluded 12.12 sale on

both Lazada and Shopee.

This year 2021 has been nothing short of incredible for realme Philippines as it has achieved countless milestones that solidify its position in the industry. With the year coming to a close, the country’s no. 1 smartphone brand for the past three consecutive quarters once again showcased real strength with a successful 12.12 performance on both Lazada and Shopee.

Dubbed as realme’s Big Year-Ender Sale, the brand’s 12.12 campaign proved its commitment to providing the best digital lifestyle experience to every Filipino and becoming one with the Squad this holiday season. realme offered discounts of as much as 62% OFF on selected smartphones and TechLife devices, along with other deals such as free shipping, and giveaways during its livestream series on both platforms.

On Shopee, realme dominated the electronics category as it emerged as the no. 1 best-selling brand for mobiles and tablets based on units sold. The brand’s first-ever tablet, the realme Pad, which was launched in October, emerged as the no. 1 best-selling tablet during the one-day sale on the platform. In addition, the brand also ranked third in the wearables category. Overall, realme’s performance on Shopee was a step-up from last year’s 12.12 campaign as it recorded a 50% year-over-year growth in overall campaign sales.

Meanwhile, the brand also achieved massive success on Lazada with a similar no. 1 ranking for mobiles and tablets on the first day of the sale, and a no. 2 ranking for overall Electronics category on LazMall. Among the top-selling smartphones during the campaign were the ever-reliable realme C25-Y, and the #EntryLevelGamingChampion narzo 50A, which was noted to have sold 1,100 units in only 11 minutes. In addition, the brand performed well in the audio segment, ranking third in the category. realme also managed to achieve the fourth spot in the TV category, despite being a relatively new player with its first-ever Smart TV launched earlier this year.

These milestones once again proves the three-year-old brand’s steady momentum and foothold within the e-commerce landscape. “We are truly happy to be one with our Squad this holiday season. We could not have achieved our recent 12.12 success if it weren’t for the love and support of everyone part of the realme community. Rest assured, we will continue to give our all to be the best tech and lifestyle companion of every Filipino,” shares Austine Huang, realme Philippines’ VP for Marketing.

While the 12.12 Big Year-End Sale has come to a close, there’s still some exciting news the Squad can look forward to! Everyone who purchased any realme device with a minimum worth of P5,000 from November 15 until January 2, 2022 via realme’s Official Lazada and Shopee store will earn an e-raffle ticket for the #realmeWithYou Christmas Raffle Promo.

Watch: PLDT Home’s Heart-tugging Christmas Video Gives Tribute to Filipinos all over the world

Tweet

This Christmas, PLDT Home gives tribute to Filipinos all over the world in a special video that celebrates the real and meaningful connections of families made possible by the power of the Internet.

In a heartwarming 45-second video featuring the iconic and sentimental Yuletide ballad “Pasko na, Sinta ko” (Christmas is here, my love), PLDT Home puts a spotlight on the uniquely Filipino touch of celebrating Christmas by connecting with family and loved ones. Aired over PLDT Home’s social media channels, the video depicts how the Filipino tradition of coming home for Christmas transcends even distance as many rely on the internet to keep family connections strong, especially in trying times.

Topping all other Filipino merry-making traditions, like karoling, parol, and bibingka, Christmas for Pinoys won’t be complete without hearing the familiar voices and seeing the bright faces of loved ones by our side. And if we can’t be with them personally, the next best option is to be with them virtually, powered by the country’s fastest internet connection, PLDT Home.

“For us Filipinos, Christmas comes alive the moment we’re gathered with family. Whether huddled in a dining room or in a virtual room, our connection matters most. To reconnect, get closer, and catch up with people who mean the world to us, that’s the most perfect Christmas gift we could ask for. Enabling this family connectedness has been the driving inspiration behind PLDT Home’s growth this year. As always, our fervent hope has been for Filipinos everywhere to enjoy the strongest connections with their family, for a brighter Christmas this year,” said Butch Jimenez, Senior Vice-President and Head of Consumer Business-Home Group.

Indeed, nothing says “Pasko na, sinta ko” like making time for the family, greeting them in person or even virtually over social media platforms. When using devices to connect with family for the holidays, it’s always best to ensure a smooth and lag-free experience, with PLDT Home Fiber.

As the Philippines’ most reliable and fastest internet connection provider, PLDT Home continues to set the standard for the country’s broadband services. Leading the country’s digital future, the telco giant also recently launched the first 10,000 megabits per second (Mbps) fiber-optic internet service in the Philippines.

Top Brands Share Their E-Commerce Success on Shopee

Tweet

Johnson & Johnson, vivo, Crocs, SM, and NIVEA share how Shopee supported its growth on the platform

The Philippines is the fastest-growing market in the SEA region, with an overall internet economy likely to reach $40 billion in value by 2025 — and e-commerce greatly contributes to this significant surge. More consumers now heavily rely on online platforms like Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, for their needs. With this,  brands shifted online to better connect with their customers and tap into new and unreached markets. Five brands shared how they took advantage of Shopee’s various programs and enhanced marketing solutions to remain top-of-mind while establishing themselves as a strong player in the digital space. 

1. Johnson & Johnson wins big during big sales

Johnson & Johnson grew its brand through Shopee’s innovative solutions and services. The recently concluded 11.11 Big Christmas Sale campaign was their most successful one to date with multiple basket-building strategies, such as co-sponsored vouchers, aimed at  driving conversion. Denise Peralta, Head of E-Commerce at Johnson & Johnson Philippines, Inc, said, “We are able to extend J&J’s presence on Shopee with its category-focused programs (Mom’s Club & Shopee Beauty). Through Shopee’s Brand Memberships Program, we are also able to offer our shoppers exclusive perks & privileges like vouchers and gifts.” 

2. vivo surpassed target sales with exclusive launches  

vivo also saw significant growth during their Super Brand Days (SBD) on Shopee, as well as the platform’s double-double campaigns and payday sales. Shopee’s extensive marketing solutions also played a big role in the success of vivo’s Y series launch, which saw ₱150 million in sales for 2021. He Zhuopeng (Chris) vivo E-Commerce Manager, said, “Shopee has helped us expand and grow our business through partnered campaigns every month. It gave us the opportunity to be known in the e-commerce industry. We are looking forward to many more years of strong partnership with Shopee.” 

3. Crocs won customers with curated pages during campaigns

Through their Shopee store, Crocs created curated pages for campaigns and collections easily. In the recent 11.11 Big Christmas Sale, the brand achieved a 65x uplift in orders compared to the usual, alongside Shopee’s marketing solutions such as Flash Deals and Rush Hour sales. John Darryl Bonifacio, E-Commerce Manager at Crocs, said, “At Crocs, we think of people first at every step and during the pandemic, safety was every Filipino’s priority. Retail store closures were inevitable with the lockdown measures but Shopee has allowed us to reach customers across the country.” 

4. SM Online boosted sales after first-ever Super Brand Day

In 2021, SM attained many e-commerce milestones through Shopee, including a successful first-ever Super Brand Day that helped increase sales, and an all-time spike in orders during the 11.11 Big Christmas Sale. In the recent 7.7 Mid-Year Sale and 8.8 Mega Flash Sale campaigns, The SM Store’s participation in the TV Flash segment resulted in a significant increase of their 2021 orders and GMV. Nicole Villanueva, AVP of SM Online, said, “This year has been about how to sustain the massive growth of online from 2020.  Shopee has provided The SM Store prime avenues on which we can serve our customer’s essential and non-essential needs.”

5. NIVEA tapped into a new target market through new initiatives

Through weekly in-app visibility and pushes highlighting their best-sellers, NIVEA achieved tremendous growth with Shopee. The brand regularly joined campaigns such as Shopee Beauty and activated their own Brand Days, monthly Grand Launches, and Shopee Live during new product launches. Kitz Literal, E-Commerce Sales Manager at NIVEA, said, “We are happy to share that we achieved record-breaking sales during this year’s 11.11 Big Christmas Sale. Together with our partners in Shopee, we were able to generate a sales uplift of 50x and a traffic uplift of 8x. Another win for NIVEA is securing the third spot in the Personal Care Category last 12.12. Following this momentum, we are looking into finishing this year strong.”

Shopee’s brand partners are a driving force for the platform’s success. With the new year approaching, Shopee will adapt quickly to meet user needs and support businesses of all sizes to maximize the full potential of e-commerce.

5 Lyrics from “Oh no I’m on Shopee again” that Every Online Shopper Can Definitely Relate To

Tweet

It’s the perfect song to play while shopping for your next budol haul at Shopee’s extended 12.12 Big Christmas Sale, which runs until December 15

Over the past two years, Pinoys fell in love with the ease and convenience of online shopping. Aside from providing a wide array of essentials, online shopping can also serve as a fun break from reality. Window shopping can be quite an addictive adventure, especially during big sales such as Shopee’s extended 12.12 Big Christmas Sale, since there are so many deals to enjoy!

With just a few taps on our phones, we can buy everything we want and need. Sometimes, however, we don’t have the budget to fund all our budol purchases. As much as we love to check out our whole cart this Payday sale, most of us know all too well the frustration of realizing we don’t have enough money to spare for all the items in our carts—a feeling up-and-coming artist geiko can also relate to.

geiko, a local artist, started posting songs on Youtube in 2017. She recently released a new single titled “Oh no I’m on Shopee again.” The relatable lyrics and undeniably catchy tune will definitely be our go-to song to play while scrolling through Shopee.

Here are 5 lyrics from “Oh no I’m on Shopee again” that every Shopee suki can relate to:

1. There are so many things I want to buy

But I'm broke, so I stare at my phone and cry

It’s difficult to resist adding to cart after watching Shopee hauls and stumbling across Shopee budols online. But we can only dejectedly stare at the pile of items sitting in our carts, impatiently waiting until the next big sale.

2. My mama tells me to buy only the things that I need

Who hasn’t gone on Shopee to buy one thing and ended up checking out five other items? It’s like falling down a fun rabbit hole filled with products from different categories and thousands of brands on Shopee Mall. geiko’s mom—and our own parents, for that matter—may be right, but we can’t miss the chance of buying cute stuff at such affordable prices.

3. My ShopeePay balance is zero, sometimes even a piso

There’s no greater disappointment than when you realize you’ve used up all your money. After shopping sprees, our e-wallets are often left with little to zero balance. To help save on your purchases, use ShopeePay for even more perks, such as free shipping, cashback, and more.

4. Thank you to delivery person..

Come back again

Some items are still pending

With the number of times they’ve delivered your orders, you and your Shopee Xpress rider probably know each other well by now. We all get giddy with the excitement of finally receiving our parcels, but with all the amazing deals, we can’t help but check out again and again. Who knows, maybe you and your Shopee Xpress rider can become good friends after a few (more) deliveries!

5. But I also wanna give my loved ones lots of presents in 1 big box

Our carts aren’t just full of things we want for ourselves, but also of presents we want to give to people we love. With Christmas just around the corner, we all wish to show our friends and family how much we cherish them by showering them with gifts. At the 12.12 Big Christmas Sale, spoil your loved ones with gifts at affordable prices. Enjoy shopping with free shipping with no minimum spend, ₱1 Deals, and 10% off daily.

Stream “Oh no I’m on Shopee again” on geiko’s official YouTube and Spotify accounts. You can also watch the music video on Shopee’s official YouTube channel.
