Local MSMEs see 30-fold sales boost during Shopee 7.7 Mid Year Sale
Shopee Malaysia said the boost was driven by a combination of marketing tools, livestreaming content, affiliate recommendations and the platform's 'Lagi Murah, Lagi Cepat' (Cheaper Prices, Faster Shipping) promise, which focuses on affordability and speed.
According to Shopee, over 80 per cent of orders during the campaign were shipped out within a day. Shoppers also saved more than RM60 million during the sale, particularly on essentials such as groceries, personal care products and baby items.
Sellers saw higher visibility and conversion through Shopee's affiliate network, which now includes over 650,000 content creators. These affiliates promoted local products on platforms such as Shopee Video and Shopee Live, generating up to 160 per cent more sales for MSMEs during the campaign period.
Women's fashion brand KM Fashion, based in Perak, said livestreaming for nearly eight hours helped double its orders compared to an average day.
"What made the difference was going on Shopee Live, where we were able to connect with more buyers and close sales faster," a brand representative said.
Meanwhile, home appliance brand Russell Taylors reported that affiliate-led content and short-form videos helped drive nearly 40 per cent of its sales during 7.7.
"The 'Lagi Murah' tag drew so many eyes to my store. Product views doubled, and our checkout performance improved by 50 per cent compared to our previous campaign," said a Russell Taylors brand representative.
BOOSTING PURCHASE INTENT
The 'Lagi Murah' and 'Lagi Cepat' features appeared to play a crucial role in converting buyer interest into actual sales.
Bath Garden, a local body care brand, said shoppers made quicker decisions thanks to price clarity.
"The 'Lagi Murah' tag helped us to reduce customer decision-making time since they didn't need to compare prices. It was a key driver of our growth," the brand said.
Automotive seller Carsolution also saw record-high daily checkouts and sold out both bestsellers and niche items.
"The campaign helped us attract more serious buyers. It wasn't just massive — it was meaningful," said a brand spokesperson.
Shopee Malaysia's head of marketing, Tan Ming Kit, said the company remains focused on helping local entrepreneurs succeed in the digital space.
"Our mission has always been to build a platform that supports seller growth. Campaigns like 7.7 show that when we strengthen our ecosystem, from marketing tools and creator content to buyer satisfaction, our sellers thrive," he said.
Shopee said it will continue investing in initiatives that enable MSMEs to grow sustainably, helping to bridge them with new audiences while offering consumers better value and a more engaging shopping experience.

They're here! KOSPET officially unveiled the Magic R10 and Magic P10 in Malaysia recently, bringing its global smartwatch innovation closer to local consumers. As Malaysia's wearable technology market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15% to 18% from 2023 to 2030, driven by rising demand for health tracking and smart lifestyle tools, the launch reflects KOSPET's commitment to meeting the needs of this fast-evolving digital generation. 'With the Magic Series, we've designed something that performs and inspires confidence,' said Johnathan Zheng, Marketing Director of KOSPET. 'These watches reflect a lifestyle that's bold, informed, and in motion. It's not just wearable tech, it's a personal statement. 'Whether you're powering through an intense workout or heading into a business meeting, the new KOSPET Magic Series smartwatches are designed to keep pace, delivering exceptional performance in a form that's sleek, stylish, and built for everyday life.' The Magic R10 and P10 are crafted for style-conscious users who demand more from their smartwatches, seamlessly blending aesthetics with substance. Both models boast a premium 316L stainless steel bezel and are paired with three strap options—liquid silicone, magnetic, and knitted—to suit various lifestyles, from formal to active or casual. The Magic R10 features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with a 466×466 resolution, while the Magic P10 offers a larger 1.96-inch AMOLED screen at 410×502 resolution.

Features like menstrual cycle tracking, one-tap health checks, abnormal alerts, and breathing guidance empower users to manage their health more intuitively. Adding star power to the occasion, the grand launch was graced by national badminton icons Lee Meng Yean, a former World No. 10 and Olympian, and Ameer Zainuddin, ex-national player and rising coach. Their presence underscored KOSPET's emphasis on fitness, performance, and lifestyle synergy.
