MANILA CITY,
PHILIPPINES – Lazada Philippines sent five of its top performing sellers
to Alibaba’s campus in Hangzhou, China, last February 23 to 25, 2017. They
joined a delegation of 34 other sellers coming from Indonesia, Malaysia,
Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand.
Highlights
from the 3-day visit to Hangzhou included a rare opportunity to hear from
Jing Jie, Vice President of Strategic Partnership Development, Alibaba
Group and Aimone Ripa di Meana, Chief Marketplace Officer, Lazada Group to gain
insights on the e-commerce landscape development and best-practices of online
selling. The delegates also had the chance to visit and network with other successful
sellers such as Semir1 from Alibaba’s Tmall platform as well as
attend two training sessions on “Operations and Assortment Planning for Singles
Day” and “Online Customer Management” conducted by Taobao University2.
These
sellers have worked closely with Lazada throughout their Online Revolution sale
event last year, and have emerged to be the top in their respective product
categories, such as fashion, electronics, and other fast-moving consumer
goods (FMCG) categories.

These top
performing sellers have experienced strong uplift3 in their sales
during the month-long Online Revolution sale. In addition, these sellers
have also offered great value to shoppers with their deals, efficient product
dispatches as well as achieving minimal number of returns and cancellations on
their products.
Inanc Balci,
Lazada Philippines Co-Founder and CEO said, “Lazada has become the biggest
entrepreneurial opportunity in the Philippines. Our platform, payment and
logistics services enable all our merchants to achieve commercial success by
reaching out to millions of Filipinos every day.”
“With this
business trip set for our sellers to Hangzhou, we are confident that our
sellers will further improve their businesses by incorporating Alibaba’s best
practices into their strategy. Our merchant’s success is our utmost duty.”
added Balci.
Steve Sy of Great Deals
Marketing shared, “I started selling online last quarter of 2014 with
power banks. I then realized that there is a great opportunity in
e-commerce when my inventory was completely sold out during the
Online Revolution sale. In just a span of two years, we have increased our
sales to more than 200% - tremendous growth versus offline. Now I am
even more excited for the upcoming 5th Birthday Sale this coming March 21
to 23.”
In addition
to learning opportunities overseas, Lazada offers sellers a comprehensive suite
of tools and solutions to make their online business a success. The seller
center for instance, gives sellers a comprehensive overview of their business
with Lazada. It is also a mobile platform for sellers to manage their business
on-the-go. Sellers also receive a weekly performance report from Lazada with
details on areas they can improve on for better sales. To find out more,

On top of this business trip,
another way Lazada helps its sellers is through big sale
campaigns. The next campaign is the 5th Birthday Surprise Sale which offers
Lazada customers discounts up to 90% off and other surprise deals.
