MANILA, Philippines — E-commerce platform Shopee has partnered with Globe Telecom Inc.’s micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) arm to help sellers take advantage of opportunities and succeed online.
Shopee conducted a Sellers’ Masterclass webinar for Globe myBusiness MSME clients to provide them with knowledge and skills to grow.
With more consumers opting to shop through internet platforms these days to prevent catching the coronavirus disease 2019, businesses have to put more focus on increasing their presence online.
Through the partnership, Shopee and Globe myBusiness are able to provide a venue for sellers to learn about the marketing tools they can use to promote their products and boost online sales.
“Guiding our customers towards digitalization has always been our focus, even before the pandemic. We believe that having this Sellers Masterclass with Shopee, who is also one of Globe myBusiness’ valued customers, will enable us to further support our MSMEs in transitioning to the online retail space,” Nicola Ebrada, industry lead for Supply Chain at Globe myBusiness said.
Shopee Philippines head of marketing Ruoshan Tao said the partnership with Globe myBusiness reflects one of the e-commerce platform’s key commitments which is to help local MSMEs recover from the impact of the crisis.
“Undoubtedly, this pandemic affected the Filipino community and brought about many challenges, especially to business owners. Together with Globe myBusiness, we will continue to accelerate our seller empowerment efforts and provide them with opportunities to sustain and grow their businesses,” Tao said.
Another initiative to be implemented under the partnership is the launch of the Shopee Live Super Seller Rewards campaign.
Through this initiative, sellers will be encouraged to use Shopee Live to promote their products.
Shopee Live enables brands and sellers to interact and connect with their fans and consumers in real-time.
Shopee said it would continue to partner with Globe myBusiness for other activities this year to support Filipino MSMEs.
