In every minute and every second of the day, the communications revolution thus far holds a truly higher promise. Hoards of common souls from every country in the world enter public and private chat rooms. With e-commerce booming nowadays, people spend time chatting and sharing about their new sense of enthusiasm and interest on purchasing items posted online.
Mobile Communication x Online Shopping
Mobile apps are a great channel that link communication and online shopping together. WeChat happens to be the leading mobile app that realized this innovation. With this application, the chat room becomes an exciting, magical world where users can interact with friends and known contacts, people nearby and also other profiles like brands and companies on a rather more personal level.
And then, it happened. Brimming with healthy amusements of online shopping, WeChat together with Lazada, the countryβs online shopping mall, has teamed up last month. Hundreds of tablets were sold in a couple of hours via the WeChat-Lazada Partnership. Why not? At the discounted promo price of PHp 999, selected users got a tablet and won the best deal out of the cross promotion.
Lazadaβs creative promotional ideas, paired with WeChatβs large number of young users, have received positive feedback particularly for its easy-to-use interface and quick-to-navigate features. For those like me who missed out on the initial hours of the promo, Iβve got good news!

I’ve already read about Lazada and WeChat’s partnership somewhere, I forgot where. It’s actually better they have WeChat now so they could connect to mobile users. We’re in a generation where mobile are more accessible especially by the younger ones. It is really easier to shop because you can do it anywhere anytime with just your mobile phone!
Yup, in this generation, we get to experience mobility more than just freedom from the confines of our desks. We use mobile apps as they provide an anywhere-and-everywhere convenience of mobile design so we may become at the forefront of decision-making in any way such as shopping.
This is so cool! I want to be an online seller one day (because you need to have a business if you want to be your own boss, or go freelance!) and I’ve been thinking of ways to further optimize the experience of the customers. I think this is one great way! Great partnership for Lazada and We Chat. Thanks for sharing! π
Yeah you can also put up your own online business…and promote it as well via WeChat. π It won’t be easy as you know that marketing entails both time and great efforts to succeed as a startup.
I am a wechat user and this Lazada and WeChatβs partnership is great and most popular news everywhere.Eagerly waiting for their future success.
Considering that mobile users are usually those busy people and don’t have much time to spend and dedicate to learning how to navigate applications, the mobile app design and flow should really be flexible. Plus, the content must be catchy and enticing for users to keep at it.
I used to sell online once, I never tried selling under Lazada though but Lazada looks like a nice place to buy online. Good thing they’re connecting to their customers through WeChat now.
Yup, this makes WeChat become a more irresistible application and not just an interesting offshoot of a typical communications app.
This is a great partnership. I have WeChat and I love it, especially those cute animated emoticons π
Hehe you and my sister think alike on that note. π
hmm i still didn’t try these application we chat but i heard a lot nice things .. hmm i’ll try to dl this and see for myself .. great partnership.
This partnership creates a better competitive advantage since both of them are already big on their own and have loyal user bases.
Thanks for sharing this opportunity to everyone. I am as well interested on joining this as well. more power!
Yay! You’re welcome. π Go and try!
great2 prizes! although, i dont have wechat. It says error every time I download it.
Awww there may be compatibility issues with your OS/ smartphone/ app or some problem with the Internet connection.
I like how they added more value with the tie up of two leading players in Lazada and WeChat.
Yup. Now I receive notifications from Lazada regularly through WeChat. It’s nice that they alert users when there are updates but not in a way that’s obstrusing the user to take action. Sometimes they just pique curiosity and then inform about news and promotions.
I guess this is the next wave of online shopping as it’s now on mobile.
With e-commerce, there’s no need to pay for physical space and hire a lot of people to entertain and manage many customers. Online transactions make life easier but we have to remain careful as well for security risks and fraudulence.
I am now subscribed to Lazada via WeChat excited to know more about Lazada thru WeChat
High five! π WeChat is a simple app so it takes only a few minutes to explore its features. Now with Lazada entering the picture, we can have more items to discover.
The partnership of these two tech giants reminds me of the elance-odesk merger. The union brought a great impact on the growth of both companies. Looking forward for the future success of Lazada-wechat alliance.
Oh yeah how can I forget that? That merger was just epic. π
Well, this is an interesting partnership! I wonder how this would increatea sales for Lazada!
Initial sales results have shown promise. I’m also interested how Lazada would become more prosperous from this tie-up.
They’ve got their partnership on time, and their offers are spreading online and offline. Great promotion!
Yeah, whoever’s brainchild this is must be a genius. π
That’s really nice, more simple and practical ways to shop. It’s scary how easily one can shop now (with a click of a finger, really), especially for someone who’s already a total shopaholic from the beginning like me! LOL
Whaha just be careful and trust only those sites which have proven their integrity and have built credibility. π Decide hard on which to buy as it’s dangerous to go impulse shopping.
AWESOMEE!! thank you for reminding me of Lazada’s Anniversary! Would love to try this!
You’re welcome! Of course, it’s always great to share good news that others can benefit from and be happy about. π
The tie-ups between Lazada and WeChat are the best move ever for their marketing strategies. Leveling up to the present generation.
Our generation needs more of these as we’re always hungry for promotions. π
thanks for sharing this with us.. will check it out.
You’re welcome! Hope you find a suitable gadget that would answer your needs. π
Wow, this is a great improvement for the sellers and buyers in Lazada. I also buy items in Lazada and I like their return policy where in you will it in cash instead of just store credit.
Oh I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info. That’s a plus point for Lazada! π
This looks like a great deal!
Yes, it is. π
the partnership of this two company is really amazing joining the two and using both their powers to communicate to people straight to their fones is such an incredible thing to do.
WeChat should get more partnerships like this. π
I think have both their apps in my phone. I’ll check out the discounts! Time to buy and save money rin ^_^
Hehe sulit deals here. π
Commendable partnership between WeChat and Lazada.Hope to see more of these kind of offerings.
I’m looking forward to fashion items and home decors. π
I hope that they’ll keep giving good deal and good services to their shoppers.
I hope so, too. π
I wasn’t able to score the 999 peso tablets but I’m keeping my WeChat app in my phone for more deals.
Yup! They will for sure have more deals to come as this is just the beginning. π
