LAZADA launched 11.11 with a bang!

The highly-anticipated 11.11 sale of the year continues to make waves as Lazada continues to redefine the total shopping experience in the Philippines. The country’s #1 eCommerce platform kicked-off its biggest one-day sale of the year, 11.11, with local event The World of Lazada, teasing the first-ever live interactive countdown concert show in the country. Lazada’s 11.11 Super Show will be broadcast on ABS-CBN and livestreamed on the Lazada app, on November 10. This will mark the first time the show is being telecast on a national network.

With more than PHP 11 Million vouchers and 11 Million product offerings and massive deals and discounts, in-the-know savvy shoppers can look forward to only the best from each of their favorite product categories such as ‘Women & Men’s Fashion,’ ‘Health & Beauty,’ ‘Sports & Outdoors,’ ‘Toys, Babies and Kids,’ ‘Home & Living,’ and ‘Electronics.’

Lazada’s 11.11 provides brands and sellers more ways to reach consumers through new formats and channels. New in-app game LazCity Wonderland enables consumers to build and explore a virtual city of LazMall brands with special brand vouchers. Moreover, in-app facial recognition game Moji-Go will make it even more fun to win exciting vouchers when you play during 11.11. Users just need to match facial expressions to win coins that can be converted to vouchers. In introducing new games, consumers are promised an engaging shopping experience where redeeming rewards are easier than ever to achieve.

“As the first eCommerce player to bring the shopping festival concept to Southeast Asia, we continue to break new ground and accelerate the region’s progress in eCommerce. We are proud to see that Lazada has made 11.11 one of the key industry growth drivers in Southeast Asia, changing the way people shop and the way sellers do business,” said Ray Alimurung, Philippines’ Chief Executive Officer.

The World of Lazada brought to life the latest shopping innovations, together with products from the bestselling categories to create a truly immersive, seamless and entertaining shopping experience.

For 11.11, we’re pioneering innovation even further with new interactive shoppertainment features and exciting games!” said Neil Trinidad, Chief Marketing Officer.
