INTERNATIONAL superstar Jackie Chan is the new Shopee superstar for the e-commerce platform’s 9.9 Super Shopping Day in the Philippines.
At the virtual press and media event, Martin Yu, Shopee Philippines director, introduces Chan as one of the most well-loved and influential celebrities in the world, and an actor who has lit up the movie screens for over seven decades with his action-comedy films that are certified Hollywood blockbusters.
Chan enjoys putting a smile on people’s faces. For him, it’s exciting to partner with the e-commerce platform to celebrate the action-packed yearend festival and bring more joy to his fans and Shopee users.
“I had a lot of fun working with Shopee and I think people of all ages will enjoy the activities and content that we have prepared together,” he said.
Users can expect Jackie Chan-themed Shopee Games such as Shopee Spin & Win, Shopee Shake and Shopee Collectibles and catch his special Shopee Live on September 9.
They can expect a more action-packed shopping season. During the festivities, Shopee promises big celebrities and performers, fun games and livestreams; supersized coins cashbacks for discounts and special prizes; and new in-app game Shopee Collectibles.
“We’ve done all these efforts to make sure that everyone is ready to welcome ‘BER’ months with a bang,” Yu pointed out.
The e-commerce platform has several cross-categorical sales until September 9, featuring deals and promotions such as Super Brand Days, Super ShopeePaySale, Super Shopee Mall Sale, Super Digital Deals Sale, Super Shopee Prizes Sale and Super Shopee Vouchers Sale.
These deals and rewards are available all day on September 9: P1 deals on a wide array of products, free shipping with zero minimum spend and 20 percent cashback on multiple categories.
In addition to its sale, Shopee users can tune in to the 9.9 Super Shopping Day TV Special on September 9 at 9:30 p.m. on GMA-7 and Shopee Live.
The must-see show will feature big celebrities, discounts and millions of prizes including two house and lots to be given away; the Shopee Quiz hosted by Shopee brand ambassador Kris Aquino; and a special K-Pop group as headline performer.
Every year, Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, sees to it that there’s something for everyone on the platform.
To kick-off the yearend shopping season, Yu said the e-commerce platform ensures that all its partner brands, sellers and community are ready for the most action-packed sale yet.
With the pandemic restrictions still in place, keeping everyday transactions safe and contactless is a top priority. ShopeePay is the e-commerce platform’s e-wallet which has helped Filipinos navigate this new landscape through its growing network of partners.
ShopeePay expands its network of partners to give users the most rewarding shopping experience: 10 percent discounts on mobile load and data through ShopeePay; up to 25 percent bill cashback when paying bills and loan premiums; and P1 deals from select establishments and other promos.
The e-commerce platform ramps up efforts with brands and sellers to advance their digital journeys. “It now has over 25,000 brands on Shopee Mall across the region and growing, and bigger deals and exclusive perks in Shopee Mall Memberships,” Yu said.
Shopee said it remains steadfast in supporting local micro, small and medium-size enterprises (MSMEs) in their digital transformation by launching Shopee Thursdays, an in-depth e-commerce discussion, with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) last June; second Asean Online Sale Day also with the DTI to facilitate transborder e-commerce in the region and support Filipino MSMEs this month; and second Shopee University Summit in September.
The e-commerce platform also aids in accelerating pandemic recovery in the community by launching vaccine education with the Department of Health last June, rolling out vaccination center support in Makati and Taguig local government units (LGU) and incentivizing fully vaccinated individuals through its #FullyVaxxed package discounts and brand vouchers.
To ensure all deliveries are safe, it also partnered with a number of LGUs to get its riders vaccinated.
