Shoppers can visit website for promotions, coupons
NEW Straits Times Press (M) Bhd (NSTP) will be working with the best local marketing platform, iPrice Group Sdn Bhd, to provide exclusive promotions and coupons for online shoppers through http://vouchers.nst.com.my/.
The website, that was developed through an e-commerce platform, would be launched by the New Straits Times (NST) this month and would be updated daily.
NSTP digital business and development general manager Azizi Othman said the initiative was launched to fulfil the companies’ commitment in offering diverse digital products and services with add-on values for its customers.
He said apart from having an excellent reputation in Malaysia and the region, iPrice had the capability of providing a platform to compare prices of more than 250 million products, making it convenient for customers to select the best options before buying.
“The voucher portal will list high-value online voucher and coupon offers from 60 e-commerce businesses in Malaysia and across the globe.
“At the same time, NST digital content will be enhanced to establish it further and with improved quality. We believe the collaboration will strengthen the e-commerce ecosystem and improve the Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) through NST’s participation in the industry,” he said.
iPrice Group chief marketing officer Matteo Sutto said the company was honoured to work with Malaysia’s oldest English newspaper to provide a global shopping platform via the easiest and fastest method.
He said the rapid Internet economic growth had seen an increase in e-commerce businesses and the company had an opportunity to offer more choices to online customers by merging existing options.
“Reports by Google and Temasek revealed that the value of e-commerce in Malaysia is expected to reach more than RM33 billion by 2025 and the industry is growing more rapidly than forecasted.
“NST has successfully developed along with the times in providing the most relevant, current and comprehensive news to Malaysians.
“We believe this teamwork will have an even bigger impact on millions of customers consistently,” he said.
The voucher portal will showcase the highest offers searched online like Lazada, Zalora, Shopee, Grab, Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia and others.
Shoppers can look for the best offer easily through popular category searches like electronics, fashion, health and beauty, travel and hotels, and others.
