Nintendo and PUMA have celebrated significant growth and expanded customer reach since their partnership with e-commerce giant Shopee during its inaugural Shopee Brands Summit. The platform, which offers a seamless shopping experience, has seen a 20% increase in orders on Shopee Mall, its premium retail space reserved for brand owners and authorized distributors. Shopee Mall offers a dedicated platform for online shoppers to discover authentic, high-quality brand products, easily identified through a distinct label on the shop’s profile page and product listings. The partnership with Shopee has helped brands like Nintendo and PUMA expand their reach and achieve sustained growth in the Philippines.
Since its launch in 2017, Shopee Mall has expanded its roster of brands to include popular favorites like L’Oreal, PUMA, Nintendo, and Italian make-up brand KIKO Milano. By working with brands to offer users exciting product launches and exclusive deals over the upcoming 10.10 Brands Festival, Shopee Mall is poised to continue being the go-to brand e-tailer for Filipino shoppers.
With millions of users visiting the platform and carting out daily, Vincent Lee, Head of Shopee Philippines, emphasized Shopee Mall’s role in opening up a wealth of opportunities for brand growth and sustained success in the digital era.
“Shopee Mall aims to help brands build lasting relationships with our users by providing a dynamic and trusted platform where both can thrive. We believe in empowering brands to elevate their presence and deliver exceptional shopping experiences,” Lee said.
Recognizing that trust forms the core of solid brand and buyer relationships, Shopee has made strides in enhancing its customer journey, adapting to the evolving needs of Filipinos, and strengthening trust in online purchases. For instance, product authenticity is the most essential attribute in an online mall for 77% of upper to middle-income Shopee users in the Philippines. Reaffirming its dedication to authenticity, Shopee requires brands under Shopee Mall to undergo rigorous verification and tripled its money-back guarantee to ensure every product sold is 100% authentic.
Furthermore, Shopee Mall has an extended return and refund window to 15 days – double the platform’s initial 7-day return and refund period – to reassure buyers that their purchase will be satisfactory. With a revamped Shopee Mall interface to improve product and brand discoverability and the app’s signature seamless and secure checkout experience, Shopee’s enhancements enable brands to broaden and deepen their connections with buyers.
Shopee’s commitment to delivering an enjoyable shopping experience has attracted a diverse user base and proven to be a strategic platform for brands to expand their reach and drive sales. Successful partnerships with PUMA and Nintendo demonstrate how Shopee’s innovative features and robust support have enabled these brands to thrive in the competitive e-commerce landscape.
Upon partnering with Shopee, sports apparel brand PUMA has significantly increased its brand visibility and broadened its customer reach, enabling it to strategically position itself alongside other competitors in the market. Shopee Live has proven to be an indispensable tool for the brand in engaging sports enthusiasts, driving exponential sales growth for PUMA during each livestream.
“The key difference for us is the exceptional support from the Shopee team,” remarked Javier Sabarre, Assistant Manager for E-Commerce Marketplace at PUMA. “We anticipate sustained growth over the coming years through our continued partnership.” Sabarre highlighted that Shopee’s operational support has strengthened its customer-centric strategy, as demonstrated by the remarkable fourfold growth in its business since entering the e-commerce sector in 2022.
Gaming giant Nintendo opened its official Philippines store on Shopee in November 2023 and continues to see rapid growth as one of the platform’s top gaming brands. Their presence on Shopee Mall and use of the platform’s engagement features and promotion tools drove excitement among the brand’s fans, especially when coupled with attractive brand offers. Nintendo also actively leveraged Shopee Live and Shopee Video to deepen its relationships with the local gaming community and capture new audiences.
Innovative features like Shopee Video and Shopee Live transform how brands build relationships with buyers. These tools allow sellers to showcase their products through engaging video content and real-time interactive shopping experiences, allowing shoppers to get a better look at product conditions and specifications to drive buyer confidence.
“Shopee strives to create an environment where users can shop with confidence and ease,” remarked Lee. “With our extensive selection of well-loved brands and innovative features, Shopee Mall has become a thriving hub where brands can unlock growth potential while ensuring secure, convenient, and enjoyable online shopping experiences for all our users.”
