KUALA LUMPUR, 2 NOVEMBER 2022 ā Today, Shopee Malaysia hosted the Future of E-Commerce with Malaysian Influencers, a virtual forum discussing the relatability of influencer community online. The panel featured four keynote speakers: Hanita Sayuti (Shopee Bintang Seller), Nikki Wong (Shopee Livestream Influencer), Syazwani Md Saad (Shopee Affiliate), and Mr Kenneth Soh (Head of Marketing Campaigns at Shopee Malaysia).
What Attracts You To Livestreaming Platforms
Emphasising the power of livestreaming to build more engaging and personalised relationships online, Kenneth Soh said: āOn Shopee, we have an ecosystem of trusted influencers ā they are fellow users and sellers themselves who provide authentic experiences during Big Campaigns. While thousands of buyers watch Shopee Live daily, not everyone watches solely for shopping purposes. In fact, 27% of our surveyed buyers watch Shopee Live for entertainment and educational content. For example, in Shopee Liveās āMum’s Club Showā programme, communities of mom influencers speak about health topics related to other moms, kids, and even kids with special needs.ā
Azaria Tagaya (Moderator), Hanita Sayuti (Shopee Bintang Seller), Syazwani Md Saad (Shopee Affiliate), Nikki Wong (Shopee Livestream Influencer), and Mr Kenneth Soh (Head of Marketing Campaigns at Shopee Malaysia
āThis is an increasingly important channel for sellers to drive conversion on the marketplace. Our data shows that 75% of surveyed customers follow influencersā tutorial videos in order to solve problems and expand their product knowledge.āĀ Ā Ā
75% of Malaysians Watch Influencer Tutorials to Solve Problems
Hanita Sayuti, Shopee Bintang Seller who also runs a fragrance business called Zheo Lab said, āInfluencer marketing is important for business owners as a touchpoint for audiences. There are no brand or product limitations. Personally Iāll be engaging with local celebrity, Dato Rosyam Nor as the ambassador of my Cat Perfume, one of my best selling products on Shopee. Our promotion video has already gone live and we look forward to collaborating with more influencers in the future.ā
Speaking on the future of e-commerce, influencers Nikki Wong (shop owner of Bitcraft) and Syazwani Md Saad (a reviewer on home and living products) both agree that listening with empathy and developing personalised content are important for building long-term customer loyalty. Nikki shared, āConsistency breeds familiarity, familiarity breeds confidence, and confidence breeds sales. I don’t have the intention of going live just to get sales, but to share something good with my followers as I would to a friend.ā Nikki is part of Shopee Liveās All Stars community, an active and supportive group of influencers who frequently share product reviews, DIY tips, and even feedback on each otherās livestream feeds.
Swazwani added, āI practise transparency and consistency as I attract people who share my values. I make sure to greet my followers every morning and share about my day with them. The process takes time. We should not be afraid to enquire and collaborate with businesses and brands to increase our experience and exposure.ā
In the āFuture of E-Commerce with Malaysian Influencersā survey of 2,459 buyers, 75% of Malaysian shoppers indicated that they wanted to feel more connected through bonding and interacting with followers, fostering strong brand relationships, and staying relevant. In other words, to future proof themselves and stand out in a crowd, Shopee encourages influencers to continue building loyalty by being authentically human in their content and engagements.
How Can Influencers Stand Out from their Peers
1.Survey Methodology*
The 2022 āThe Future of E-Commerce with Malaysian Influencersā survey was conducted by Shopee Marketplace, between 28 September and 26 October 2022. Voluntary feedback was obtained from 2,459 Malaysian buyers and 1,035 Malaysian sellers on the platform.
Kuala Lumpur, 2 November 2022 ā Tooth sensitivity is often associated with a sharp jolt of discomfort from consuming cold or hot food and beverage such as Ais Kacang, ice cream and a cup of freshly brewed or ice-blended coffee. If a trip to the dentist rules out tooth decay or a cracked tooth, you may be experiencing dentine hypersensitivity, a condition that is characterized by a sharp sensitive feeling due to exposed dental in response to external stimuli.
With over 100 years of innovation in oral healthcare, ListerineĀ® has formulated a unique mouthwash that is clinically proven to provide all-day protection against tooth sensitivity*. Containing potassium nitrate — the star ingredient of ListerineĀ® Total Care Sensitive, it is an active, desensitizing agent used against sensitivity when exposed dental encounters external stimuli like hot and cold food and beverages.
Fluoride, another key ingredient for cavity protection, helps prevent tooth enamel from wearing down while repairing itself. Combined with antibacterial essential oils and a mild soothing taste, ListerineĀ® Total Care Sensitive serves to keep breaths fresh and kill 99.9% ** of germs that cause bad breath, plaque, and gum problems.
Ā Stephen Tiu, Country Director, Consumer Health of Johnson & Johnson Malaysia and Singapore, said: āAt ListerineĀ®, we are constantly innovating and evolving to meet the oral hygiene needs of our consumers. Tooth sensitivity can often be a passing remark over a mealtime conversation, but it can affect a personās quality of life in both the short and long run. With ListerineĀ® Total Care Sensitive, we aim to provide a more robust oral protection against dentine sensitivity to their existing oral hygiene routine. This is also the first time we are introducing potassium nitrate ā a desensitizing agent ā in combination with fluoride to our mouthwash. This ingredient is new and unique to ListerineĀ® Total Care Sensitive, a distinction from other ListerineĀ® mouthwash lines. As a brand backed by years of robust clinical research, we are proud to offer a multi-action formula that protects and provides fast sensitive relief to Malaysians***.ā
According to the 2010 National Oral Health Survey of Adults, 88.9% of adults in Malaysia had dental caries and 94% had gum problems****. Tooth sensitivity can at times be an early sign of a more serious underlying concern such as periodontal diseases, decay, dental caries, or plaque. Now with proper brushing and flossing, along with exposure to active desensitizing ingredients and fluoride found in mouthwashes like ListerineĀ® Total Care Sensitive, one can decrease our overall risk of oral diseases and tooth sensitivity.
For optimal results, use ListerineĀ® Total Care Sensitive for 30 seconds, 2 times daily after brushing. ListerineĀ® Total Care Sensitive is available in 250ml (RM14.20) and 750ml (RM30.80) variants at all major pharmacies, supermarkets and hypermarkets nationwide.
PETALING JAYA, 1 NOVEMBER 2022 – As rich in flavour as it is in artistry, Japanese tea has long been appreciated for its many unique characteristics, from the nutritional, to the cultural, to even the spiritual. More than just a beloved beverage, it is a symbol of the Japanese people and their beliefs, one that is rooted in tradition, heritage and history.
To fully enjoy Japanese tea, therefore, requires an immersion in everything that makes it
distinctive. The World O-CHA Festival is the biggest tea event in Japan, and is held just once every three years. The theme for this yearās edition, held in Shizuoka, Japanās tea capital, is āHappy Smiles with O-Chaā. It will revolve around efforts to develop tea-producing regions and associated industries as well as expounding on the taste and benefits of tea to encourage wellness, health and appreciation to ābring back smiles to peopleās faces around the world.ā
A Journey of Discovery
In conjunction with this event, the Japan Tea Export Promotion Council, supported by South-East Asiaās No. 1 Business-to-Business Farm Direct Platform, Secai Marche, is organising the Japanese Tea Week 2022.
To create an authentic Japanese tea experience for Malaysians, Secai Marche is working directly with distinguished farmers around Japan, each employing unique production methods to help bring out the distinctive qualities of their teas. These include Mr. Ikeya of Ikenoya En in Iruma, which produces award-winning Sayama Sencha; Mr. Matsushita of Matsushita Seicha in Tanegashima, which specialises in sustainably-grown Wa-Kocha, or Japanese English Tea; and Mr Tamura of Matcha Organic Japan in Shizuoka, which grows one of Japanās most renowned organic and premium-grade Matcha, Matcha Yabukita Organic.
A Journey of Taste
On the Malaysian front, Secai Marche will collaborate with key players in the Malaysian cafe scene, namely Bray Bakery (Kuala Lumpur), Mori Kohi (Ampang), Nippori Publika (Sri
Hartamas), and Third Mile (Rivercity, Sentul) to bring exclusive tea dining experiences to life. Each cafe will draw inspiration from the aforementioned specialty teas, imported directly from their specific farms in Japan by Secai Marche, to create limited edition food and beverages that fit naturally into their menus yet provide an outstanding one-of-a-kind tea experience.
Bray Bakery
Bray Bakery, a specialty bakery and coffee establishment āwhere passion becomes realityā, will present a trio of exquisite delights. A Sussie Roll Croissant made with Wa-Kocha Organic tea, topped with sweet potato puree, almond and kinako; a Matcha & Black Sesame Brioche Craquelin bursting with the flavours of Matcha Yabukita Organic, and packed with raisins soaked in red bean syrup; and a Cold Brew featuring Matcha Yabukita Organic foam, white chocolate and kaya.
Mori Kohi
For those looking to “whisk away from reality, and enjoy a cup of Kohi (coffee) in the heart of Mori (the forest)”, Mori Kohi will introduce two unique drinks that are a perfect match for its setting – a Ginger Matcha Cafe Latte using Matcha Yabukita Organic mixed with espresso, house-made ginger syrup and fresh milk, and a Sayama Sencha-based Passionfruit & Thyme Cold Brew.
Nippori
Meanwhile, Nippori, a self-styled āJapanese Home Cooking Cafeā, will serve delicate Nama
Chocolate crafted with single origin Matcha Yabukita Organic powder, a harmonious blend of the sweetness of white chocolate with the bitterness and umami flavours of the green tea. This is best paired with Iced Wa-Kocha Lychee Tea, with tea that has been aged for over 3 months and blended with Lychee fruit flavours for a refreshing tropical drink. These will be availableat Nipporiās newest outpost in Publika, Sri Hartamas.
Third Mile Cafe
Finally, Third Mile Cafe, proprietor of āfood that loves you backā, will let its creative juices flow as it attempts a Seared Red Snapper Ochazuke with warm mushroom salad and crispy leek served on top of rice, completed with a Sayama Sencha broth. This is accompanied by the Wa-Kocha Pear, consisting of Wa-Kocha Organic tea, homemade pear puree, honey, and Asian pear – a perfect palate cleanser.
All of these culinary creations will be available in limited quantities from 1st to 30th November 2022. Visitors to the participating cafes can also participate in a simple Scan & Win contest, where they stand to win premium Japanese tea by completing a questionnaire.
Tea enthusiasts, food lovers and those with a yen for new gastronomic and cultural
experiences will find lots to love during Japanese Tea Week 2022 campaign. Stay tuned to
the official social media channels for more information and updates
