PHILIPPINES, 15
November 2016 – Lazada Philippines has set a new record on the first day of its
highly-anticipated shopping event. On November 11, Filipino shoppers checked
out more than 400,000 items on the website and mobile app.
“Online
Revolution is the biggest online shopping event in the Philippines and
Southeast Asia.” said Inanc Balci, CEO of Lazada Philippines. “We created
Online Revolution in 2012 to encourage more consumers to experience the
benefits of shopping online. Every year we see a larger pool of online shoppers,
with growing diversity across generations and geographical locations. This was
once again confirmed this year, as we saw consumers ordering from places as far
as Bongao, Tawi-Tawi to purchase international and local brands not previously
available to them. This makes us very excited about the future”
The operations
team was in full swing as items shipped from the warehouse were 22x more than
an average day. The shortest lead time from checkout to delivery was a
record-breaking 8 hours, a feat worth celebrating at the Lazada warehouse. The
first 11.11 delivery was received by a customer at 10:29am.
Filipinos were
truly in a Christmas shopping frenzy. With deals starting from midnight,
shoppers spent about seven minutes on the Lazada’s website and fourteen minutes
on the Lazada mobile app. In the first minute of the sale alone, a total of 241
items were checked out, ending the day with more than 400,000 items.
11.11 is only
the beginning of a month long sales event. During the next 4 weeks, Lazada will
tailor its offering to all its customers’ interests with a weekly curated
selection of items for beauty fans, supermoms and families, techies and
fashionistas. The deals extend over 17 product categories including Fashion,
Health & Beauty, Home & Living, and Electronics.
Customers also
get a chance to win an Isuzu D-Max and Turkish Airlines international roundtrip
tickets with a minimum purchase. Join the Christmas shopping craze by visiting www.lazada.com.ph or downloading the Lazada Mobile App for
