Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “We are extremely heartened by the strong enthusiasm for 9.9 Super Shopping Day. As many communities still grapple with the ongoing pandemic, we are humbled to play a part in providing shoppers more value, choices, and entertainment from the convenience of their homes, while helping more sellers and brands connect with their customers.

Every year, Shopee continues to delight more shoppers and sellers with its year-end shopping festivals. 9.9 was no exception as shoppers were treated to the biggest deals, with 1.5 million items available at flash sales for shoppers to meet all their needs at the best prices, along with unlimited entertainment.

9.9 Super Shopping Day also brought more businesses online and provided a boost to local MSMEs who have been impacted by the pandemic. Through Shopee’s integrated ecosystem and marketing support, sellers participating in 9.9 for the first time saw 8X more orders compared to an average day.
