Shopee‘s sale day called “12.12 Mega Pamasko Sale” was deemed successful after online shoppers purchased last-minute gifts at the e-commerce platform.
According to its data, the company made a record with 12 million items sold in the first two minutes of December 12 through Shopee Live across different markets.
Shopee Live is the application’s interactive, live-streaming feature for both customers and merchants.
Through this feature, the number of orders made also increased 50 times, and new buyers also rose 46 times.
Overall, online shoppers saved a staggering P509 million in deals and discounts with brands and sellers on Shopee.
Best-selling categories that emerged, meanwhile, were:
- Home and Living
- Women’s Apparel
- Mobile Accessories
Some categories also saw an uplift in orders.
Orders for items under Fashion, and Health and Beauty grew by five times on that day. The top-performing brands were:
- Maybelline
- Uni-Care
- Issy & Co
The brands that gained the highest number of single-day orders through Shopee Live were o.two.o.ph, Uni-Care, and Lovito.ph.
Essentials also were not forgotten amid the hectic gifting season.
Shopee also logged orders for face masks, organic baby wipes and 3-in-1 twin coffee packs.
Aside from orders, a staggering P2.9 million was poured into Shopee’s raffle draw promotion called the “12.12 Shopee Live Milyonaryo” in hopes that customers can bring home P1 million in cash prizes.
