Bella Hazaha Makes Pyjama Fashion Go Viral on Shopee Live

 One homegrown Shopee Live entrepreneur has disrupted the Malaysian sleepwear market by targeting customers searching for trendy, modest, and affordable pyjamas that can be worn publicly. Bella Hazaha Pyjamas, launched in September 2023, has carved out a unique space in ready-to-wear pyjama fashion, by selling over 500 pyjamas daily and becoming a top seller on Shopee Live.

"Shopee Live has been a game-changer," says founder Bella. "Gone are the days of niche social media advertising. Now, I connect directly with customers, showcasing products in real time. It's like having a personal shopping assistant – the platform tracks orders while the host explains each pyjama's details. This has streamlined operations and boosted my business significantly. I even opened a physical office and warehouse to meet demand!"

Redefining Sleepwear Beyond the Bedroom

Going beyond traditional sleepwear, Bella Hazaha shatters stereotypes with bold prints, vibrant colours, and playful patterns. Their best-selling Kaftan Dress, designed by Bella herself, resonates with women who crave both comfort and self-expression, boasting over 36,600 pieces sold. The collection consists of 16 stunning patterns, ensuring every woman finds her perfect match, from ‘Daisy’ to ‘Leopard print’.

“Our customers are owning their individuality,” she explains. “While satin and silk sleepwear offer undeniable luxury and sensuality, their hefty price tag can be a barrier for many. We strive to create affordable luxury fashion pieces without compromising on quality. That’s why we use cotton mix for our sleepwear. This material isn't just budget-friendly, but it also provides comfort and practicality, offering low maintenance and easy care.”

Harnessing the power of live streaming, Bella revolutionises the way customers connect and shop. During a recent session with over 3,400 viewers, a viewer asked, "What size is right for me? I'm 151cm and 60kg." The host, demonstrating quick thinking and product expertise, promptly recommended a size ‘S’ and went on to explain the brand's sizing guide in detail, giving viewers confidence in their purchase decision. The brand goes live daily at 12PM, offering Malaysians not just affordable pyjamas below RM30 but also a friendly and informative shopping companion.

Personalising Audience Experience

To maintain brand consistency, Bella handpicks and trains each host as a brand ambassador. “I believe that livestream hosts are not just tasked to answer questions – they are the face of our brand. I ensure that my hosts are trained far beyond scripts, standardising everything from makeup and headscarf styles to host-audience interaction. It’s a demanding approach, but what truly sets us apart is our ability to captivate viewers with both stunning fashion and genuine connection."

Bella Hazaha’s live team drives a sevenfold increase in sales through captivating Shopee Live sessions. Since its launch, the brand has strategically expanded its team from three to eight hosts, attributing a significant portion of its sales success to their lively streams that build trust and drive conversions.

"Maintaining energy and engagement during our four to eight hour daily streams demands a lot from our hosts," says Bella. "To ensure their well-being and maximise viewer interaction, we rotate between two hosts per stream, allowing for short breaks and recharged energy. Peak sales periods on Shopee can be intense, with viewership spiking over sevenfold from an average of 36,000 views. We prioritise addressing every comment, fostering a sense of community and ensuring no viewer feels neglected." she concluded.



MGTC & Shopee’s "Jom Beli Produk Hijau" Campaign Sees Malaysians Embrace Sustainable Shopping

 

The "Jom Beli Produk Hijau" campaign, a collaboration between the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC) and Shopee, successfully promoted sustainable shopping habits among Malaysians. Running for four months from September to December 2023, the campaign aimed to encourage eco-conscious consumption and promote sustainability in Malaysia's marketplace.

The campaign achieved 100% voucher utilisation of RM60,000 on MyHIJAU-tagged products, a green product recognition scheme endorsed by the government. This accomplishment demonstrates a strong commitment from Malaysian consumers to support local sustainable products and indicates a significant shift towards environmentally friendly purchasing habits.  

A total of 1,195 local sellers participated, listing over 3,600 green products. Paper products emerged as the top-performing category, accounting for 73% of total sales. Paint closely followed, representing 17% of total sales, while cleaning products accounted for 9%. The remaining sales were attributed to Biomass Packaging and Kitchenware categories, showcasing the diverse array of sustainable options available to consumers.

Homegrown brands such as PaperOne, Readycare, and Bina Paint were among the top sellers, resonating with Malaysian consumers due to their commitment to environmental stewardship and the quality of their sustainable products, further driving the success of the 'Jom Beli Produk Hijau' campaign.

These trends align with the findings from the "Shop Green with Shopee" study in 2022, which revealed that Malaysian consumers are increasingly seeking sustainable products. The study showed a threefold increase in the preference for products promoting smarter consumption compared to previous years. Additionally, keyword searches on the Shopee platform reflected a growing interest in terms like 'pre-loved,' 'pre-owned,' 'warehouse clearance,' 'demo unit,' and 'thrift,' indicating a shift towards more sustainable purchasing behaviors among consumers.

Ir. Ts. Shamsul Bahar Bin Mohd Nor, Group Chief Executive Officer of MGTC, enthusiastically shared the success of the 'Jom Beli Produk Hijau' initiative, “The campaign has not only showcased the collective commitment towards sustainability in Malaysia but has also underscored the growing demand for green products. The positive response from consumers reflects the growing awareness of the profound impact of our everyday decisions on the health of our planet. The partnership with Shopee provided the initiative leverage in the digital landscape to reach a broader audience. It also allows us to demonstrate our goal of making green products accessible to the masses, and the overwhelming support demonstrates that the demand for eco-friendly alternatives is indeed present."

Shopee, as the leading e-commerce platform in Malaysia, played a pivotal role in connecting buyers with local sustainable products. Kenneth Soh, Head of Marketing at Shopee Malaysia, commented, 'We are proud to have been part of the 'Jom Beli Produk Hijau' campaign, which has not only raised awareness about eco-conscious consumption but also supported local businesses committed to sustainability. This campaign reflects our ongoing commitment to driving positive change in the marketplace.”

The campaign underscores stakeholders' efforts to promote sustainability in Malaysia. Shopee remains dedicated to fostering eco-conscious consumption and supporting local sustainable businesses. The Jom Beli Produk Hijau Closing Ceremony was held on 22 February 2024 at MGTC HQ with Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability, YB Tuan Nik Nazmi Bin Nik Ahmad, officiating the event.

Shopee Affiliate Livestreamer Humanises Deal-hunting for Malaysians

 Shopee Affiliate Livestreamer Celeste Phuah simplifies the shopping journey for approximately 36,000 rural Malaysians seeking convenience online every day. Over the past six months, she facilitated the redemption of over six million discount vouchers across the platform. Through her educational Shopee Live sessions, Celeste humanises e-commerce, explaining the intricacies of platform and store vouchers to empower users. 

Understanding the needs of fellow shoppers and recognising the importance of bringing accessibility and convenience to all Malaysians, she curates a daily selection of 500 promotional products — five times more than the average Affiliate’s Shopping Bag. This ensures her viewers a seamless access to budget-friendly daily essentials as she guides them through the process of redeeming additional live vouchers through the Livestream Viewer Hub.

As an avid Shopee user, Celeste notes that the platform provides an abundance of exclusive deals and promotions tailored to deliver users a joyful experience that goes beyond just transactions. Through this, she carved her niche, providing fellow shoppers with a convenient solution. “I wanted to provide convenience for savvy spenders, where you can find a list of vouchers and daily essentials on promotion, with just one click," Celeste explains. “Now, when my viewers ask 'Celeste, what's the hottest deal today?', I can point them straight to the platform and guide them through the process of claiming it. With livestreaming, users can tune in, listen to the latest deals, and multitask simultaneously."

Based on past user engagement and interactions, Celeste tailors her content to enhance buyer experience, recognising that many new users don’t know where to start to obtain exclusive deals and promotions offered by the platform. This limits their ability to fully capitalise on these savings. Coming across questions such as 'How do I best stack shop vouchers with live vouchers?' and 'Are there additional live vouchers?’ Celeste, as a Key Opinion Leader on the platform, believes it's her responsibility to actively educate users about the different types of vouchers and how to optimise their utilisation.

Through her livestreams, Celeste actively empowers the local community by sharing her findings on deals, enhancing their lives one bargain at a time. In her dedication to keeping viewers informed, she strategically schedules her Shopee Live sessions during peak traffic hours of 12PM and 12AM, ensuring they always stay up-to-date on the latest steals.

“I actively watch other Shopee Live segments when I’m not attending to my responsibilities as a full-time housewife, analysing communication styles and product introductions of fellow streamers. I take note of the questions viewers pose, ensuring that if I conduct a stream featuring similar products, I anticipate and prepare for their inquiries in advance. My insights benefit my viewers, and I believe it’s my responsibility to furnish them with trustworthy educational content,” Celeste concluded.

Indulge in Shopee's Chinese New Year video and experience the enchanting journey of heritage and traditions, inspired by the essence of traditional New Year hampers. – https://youtu.be/K5ra_m6PZ0o?si=ynj4PKDfsM2RYMcE .

Shopee Influencers Champion Human-Centric E-commerce in 2024

 Shopee Malaysia officially unveiled the ‘Championing Inclusive Commerce 2024’ study of over 3,000 Shopee Affiliates. The study discovered that 9 in 10 Affiliates are feeling positive for their e-commerce opportunities in 2024. These affiliates are excited to humanise e-commerce with increased personalisation, engage with more users on posts and livestreams, and drive more traffic for local sellers aligned with their values.

The Rise of Human-Centric Content 

When asked on the e-commerce trends they are most excited to embrace in 2024, 75% of affiliates were enthusiastic about creating more personalised content for their audiences. Shopee Affiliates want to have more authentic engagements with their audiences (30%), seek to personalise their content further through product education posts and livestreams (30%), while the remaining want to collaborate with more local businesses to drive awareness (15%). 

“Our affiliates are leading the charge in humanising e-commerce, providing users with original content and ultimately, building a stronger competitive edge for our local brands and sellers. This powerful statement tells us that Malaysian consumers are craving something real. They're tired of the perfectly polished posts on their feeds. They want to connect with real people, with relatable stories, and genuine experiences,” said Kenneth Soh, Head of Marketing at Shopee Malaysia, during the launch of the study today.

Sharing on the importance of authenticity and personalisation, Shopee Affiliate Livestreamer Celeste Phuah believes that developing original content is important when building sincere relationships with their audiences. “As an affiliate livestreamer, I believe it is important to be honest and open with my audience during my product recommendation live sessions. I will share my opinions on the products they are interested in based on my own experiences. When I get questions from the audience, I do try my best to inform them on the various benefits and features about the products,” Celeste said.

Building Communities Through Two-Way Engagement

A resounding 94% of Shopee Affiliates anticipate a surge in user engagement through the power of authentic content and interactive livestreams. This data unveils a crucial shift in audience behaviour, highlighting the growing demand for genuine connections between Shopee buyers and sellers, with affiliates taking on the mantle to digitally bridge this gap.

Andrew Tay in his capacity as the Chief Operating Officer for Val Media, a digital portal that produces influential content, explained that his team is enthusiastic to see more engagements and interactions from their audiences this year. “In the last few years, we have been branching out from just doing product review articles, to creative informative videos and social media postings. It is inspiring to see the different ways Malaysians consume digital content and we look forward to creating more content that drives user engagement and traffic for our local sellers.”

Championing Local Businesses in a Digital World

When Shopee asked the surveyed affiliates on what they want to achieve this year, an outstanding 100% aspire to drive more traffic to local sellers in 2024. Additionally, 96% of them want to collaborate with more local sellers that are aligned with their values, reflecting their #ShopeeSapotLokal spirit in supporting Made-in-Malaysia products to fuel the nation’s vibrant digital economies.

“I enjoy working with local brands and sellers as I believe it is important to support our homegrown entrepreneurs. It lights up my heart when I drive traffic and awareness for a local seller selling hand-made or traditional products to my audiences. I can’t wait to collaborate with these sellers in 2024 to create family-friendly content that is aligned with my Muslim culture and values,” said Rita Zafran, Shopee Affiliate (Top Posting Creator).

Shopee Affiliates collectively believe that the age-old phrase ‘Honesty is the best policy’ rings true when adding a human touch to their product insights and brand recommendations. They want to build sincere and genuine connections with their audiences, and aim to partner more with local brands and sellers aligned with their social and cultural values.

The “Championing Inclusive Commerce 2024” study is part of Shopee’s thought leadership series. These data-driven insights showcase how Shopee Affiliates have the unique opportunity to build win-win relationships that drive customer loyalty for local brands and sellers. Further insights on Malaysian affiliates will be shared in greater detail in the coming week.
