Shopee and Samsung Electronics recently revealed a regional partnership to boost consumer outreach in Southeast Asia. Samsung’s partnership with Shopee will expand its reach to online shoppers, leveraging Shopee’s consumer base to engage more than 200 million users across the region.

As part of the regional partnership, both companies will renew their commitment to providing consumers with convenience and increased access to quality products on-the-go. Shopee will also be rolling out interactive consumer engagement features to entertain users as they shop on the move.   

“Samsung is pleased to witness the growth of our partnership with Shopee in Southeast Asia through the regional partnership,” said Grace Yi, Regional Head of Online Business, Samsung Electronics, Southeast Asia and Oceania. “At Samsung, we are constantly looking for innovative ways to engage and serve our consumers. Through this partnership, we hope to be able to bring our products and experiences to our customers in a new and meaningful manner, to serve them better."

With over 95% of orders on Shopee made through mobile phones, the joint partnership will focus on mobile-first engagements. This is especially vital as Southeast Asian consumers are one of the most engaged mobile internet users in the world. Shopee’s user interface is optimized for mobile, making purchases of Samsung’s products on mobile phones simple and seamless.

Ian Ho, Regional Managing Director, Shopee said, “We are heartened to strengthen our partnership with Samsung through this regional partnership. Sales of Samsung products on Shopee have more than quadrupled in the past year, proving Samsung to be a brand that's trusted by consumers across the region. This partnership demonstrates our commitment to helping brands make their products easily available to all and to enhance the user experience.”

Shopee and Samsung Electronics will also launch “Now’s Your Chance”, a regional-led campaign aimed to deepen engagement with consumers. The campaign will be launched across six markets in Southeast Asia and will have interactive features to entertain users. Campaign highlights include: 

1. Follow the Store Raffle: Those who follow the Samsung Official Store on Shopee can win exciting prizes including a Galaxy A10, the ‘TV Mate’ Soundbar or a 24”. FHD monitor.

2. Piso Game: Shopee will give consumers a chance to score the Galaxy A10 for just PhP 1.00.

3. Shopee Live: Viewers can also get a chance to win a Galaxy A50, a Samsung refrigerator, a soundbar or a gaming monitor when they join Shopee on Facebook Live.
