Moreover, over 75% of Gen Z consumers rely on reviews and customer service when shopping, often seeking user and expert reviews, engaging with sellers via chat, comparing products across brands, and using Shopee Live and Shopee Video for product information and decisions.

“We understand that Gen Z presents a significant growth opportunity,” said Ming Kit Tan, head of marketing and business intelligence at Shopee Malaysia. Our user-friendly platform features like Shopee Live empower users with information beyond product listings, such as in-depth reviews or live demonstrations. 

“It fosters a relationship between seller and buyer, allowing a sense of trust to be built between each interaction,” he continued.

He added these hyper-personalised experiences serve as a valuable addition, fostering long-term brand loyalty among this growing demographic.
