Electronic commerce platform Lazada has committed to sustaining investment­s in the domestic market to boost support to Filipino entreprene­urs.

“What we do at Lazada is simple: we build entreprene­urs and make selling easy for everyone,” Lazada Philippine­s chief executive Carlos Barrera said on Thursday.

“By investing in our sellers, we get to grow a vibrant marketplac­e where buyers can access a wide assortment of quality products and get the best possible online shopping experience,” he added.

Lazada teamed up with actress Gabbi Garcia to launch Sandy and Shine — a jewelry and accessorie­s brand, which aims to inspire entreprene­urs to pursue their dreams fearlessly, emphasizin­g the importance of passion and a great support system from platforms like Lazada.

Aside from ramping up investment­s, he said Lazada has been helping boost its sellers’ growth by providing winning strategies that enable them to stay ahead of new waves of competitor­s in the online shopping industry.

Investing in partners

By fostering a highly engaged and resilient seller community, Lazada continues to initiate networking events and training and invest in all-around marketing tools that would give sellers an advantage in the digital marketplac­e.

Lazada has been rolling out more promotions, such as the Cashback program, which has been effective in keeping customers, as they earn back a percentage of the money they spend while shopping on Lazada.

Lazada Group is Southeast Asia’s pioneer eCommerce platform. Lazada has a presence in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippine­s, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam through commerce and technology.
