Shopee Live Drives Growth, Expands Opportunities for Sellers
Shopee Live sellers achieved remarkable success last year by leveraging real-time engagement and live demos to build trust and foster deeper connections with customers. By participating in Shopee's campaigns and utilising platform features such as exclusive Shopee Live vouchers and interactive user engagement tools, sellers maximized their reach. This comprehensive approach resulted in a 300% rise in unique viewers throughout the year and 37-fold increase in total views, reaching 77 billion throughout the year. These results underscore the power of combining Shopee Live's capabilities with targeted platform strategies

Local brands and sellers who achieved over RM1 million in sales via Shopee Live last year experienced up to 11-times growth in order volume. Top brands who realised over RM5 million in sales in 2024 saw a tenfold surge in order volume while local sellers who earned over RM500,000 quadrupled their orders through the livestream feature.

Notable performers such as Panda Eyes, Elgini, Gun Pet Outlet & Simba Shop, and Kedai Abang Syukor exemplified the impact of Shopee Live, where they effectively connected with audiences, showcased products and maximised platform tools, turning their livestreams into compelling success stories.

Shopee Affiliates Drive Sales and Boost Seller Visibility
In 2024, Shopee Affiliates transformed the e-commerce landscape by boosting exposure for sellers while unlocking new income streams. Affiliates participation grew by 161%, more than doubling in number, and drove an 80% increase in local brand and seller orders. The Affiliates also harnessed the power of Shopee Live, with Affiliate-hosted livestreams surging 16-fold and generating a 1,200% rise in orders compared to the year before.

Among top-performing affiliates are Nurul Syuhana and Celeste Phuah, winners of the ‘Shopee Affiliate 2 Million Ringgit Club' and ‘Shopee Affiliate 5 Million Ringgit Club' awards, recognising affiliates who achieved RM2 million and RM5 million in sales milestones for local businesses on Shopee.
