P&G and Shopee drive record sales at first-ever experiential online initiative, Show Me My Home, with more than 15x increase in orders
Show Me My Home is a key initiative under the recently signed Joint Business Plan between P&G and Shopee
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, and Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), a leading fast-moving consumer goods company, achieved strong performance for their first-ever experiential online initiative, Show Me My Home. The initiative recorded more than 15x increase in orders at peak day[1], and it is a key activation under the recently signed regional Joint Business Plan (JBP) between Shopee and P&G. The JBP marks a joint commitment between Shopee and P&G to improve the online shopping experience for users across the region, and to provide convenient and easy access to quality FMCG products on Shopee.

Chris Feng, CEO at Shopee, said, "As we transit into the new normal, e-commerce has taken on greater importance in people’s lives. Consumers are increasingly going online to fulfil their everyday needs, and it is important for businesses to remain agile and adapt quickly. The success of P&G’s online debut of the Show Me My Home initiative on Shopee is proof of that. By merging P&G’s portfolio of leading FMCG brands and retail expertise with Shopee’s wealth of insights on online shoppers’ behaviour and preferences, it allowed us to deliver a novel, experiential online home shopping experience for consumers across the region. This success has inspired us to continue innovating to provide the best for our users, and we are excited to work closely with P&G going forward."
Shoppers enjoyed greater convenience with Show Me My Home
The Show Me My Home initiative was initially an offline concept which was well-received among both consumers and retailers. With a shared vision to serve the region’s increasingly savvy digital consumers at scale, P&G leveraged Shopee’s technology expertise and insights on online shoppers to optimize and scale the experience online. Through this partnership, P&G and Shopee successfully piloted the online version of Show Me My Home, recording more than 15x increase in orders at peak day. The Show Me My Home initiative offered greater convenience as shoppers could easily find what they needed as the microsite simulated the household environment. This novel way of shopping online successfully captured shoppers’ attention with an overall increase in traffic for P&G.
Fostering meaningful connections with Shopee’s in-app engagement features
As people spend more time online, brands are also increasingly finding new ways to interact and engage with their consumers. As part of the Show Me My Home initiative, P&G leveraged Shopee’s engagement features to foster deeper and meaningful connections with their consumers.
- Shopee Live: P&G tapped on Shopee Live to engage consumers with a special series of live streams featuring popular local celebrities. The biggest stars, including Yuna, Iman Azman and Preston Kaw shared with fans and Shopee users their favourite P&G products, as well as provided tips on how to use them.
- Shopee Throw: Users visited Shopee daily to play Shopee Throw, an in-app game where users can win exclusive P&G vouchers and prizes by throwing arrows onto a target on the Shopee app. The game was played over 600,000 times in 5 days, offering added entertainment and value to consumers while they shopped for their favourite P&G brands.
Show Me My Home marks the first of many initiatives under the recent regional JBP between Shopee and P&G. The JBP aims to better serve and capture the hearts of online shoppers in the region by providing a seamless access to P&G’s wide range of leading brands and products. This agreement will see P&G broadening its multi-brand portfolio offerings on Shopee and tapping on Shopee’s big data analytics capability to provide a personalised customer journey via precise marketing. In addition, P&G will leverage Shopee Brands Suite, a comprehensive set of support tools, such as Shopee Live, to help brand partners better reach and connect with consumers.
"At P&G, we are continually trying new ways to personalize and engage our consumers be it offline or online. The encouraging results we have achieved from this campaign proves the partnership with Shopee to be very successful as we managed to engage more meaningfully with our consumers on digital platforms. We look forward to evolving with the customer as we work closely with Shopee to execute future innovations online, serving more regions and value-adding to digital transactions," adds Shankar Viswanathan, Vice President, E-Commerce, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa.
With the success of the Show Me My Home initiative, P&G and Shopee will be bringing it back on 15 June 2020, featuring another round of exclusive deals and promotions from popular P&G brands including Olay, Pantene, and Ambi Pur.

The free-to-play game now offers eleven Heroes, each catering to different strategies and combat styles.
New Hero Tagahl Sherekhan Arrives in Shadow Arena
With an origin story written in the annals of Black Desert Online lore, Tagahl Sherekhan is a descendant of the Dragon Hunter tribe Sherekhan. When a ferocious dragon appeared in Calpheon and terrorized its people, they called Tagahl for help. However, when Calpheon failed to reward him for defeating the dragon, he turned his back on those lands in discontent and left. He has finally found his way to the world of Shadow Arena, where he is preparing himself for a new battle.
Tagahl is a warrior who uses his main weapon, his signature glaive, to deliver widespread damage with every blow. His ability to bypass or weaken his opponents’ defenses also allows him to attempt reversals. Players can now use his Inherent Skills to attack enemies more strategically.
With the arrival of the new Hero, various in-game events are taking place in Shadow Arena. Players can now claim a Hero through the free DLC package on Steam until July 9. Those who submit their play strategies through the official website or participate in the social media event will also have the chance to win a special item. Until June 18, a Hot Time event will run where players can receive 5 times more silver for completing Daily Quests.
In the meantime, "Shadow Arena Regional Cup – Asia" was hosted for the first time to determine the best of the best on the Asia server.

Chinese Sports Technology Brand Keep and Fitness Brand Zumba(R) to Hold Strategic Collaboration Conference Online
BEIJING, June 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — On May 30, sports technology brand Keep and world’s leading brand Zumba® Fitness held a unique online global press conference, at which the two firms announced the roll out of a program in China that is expected to inject new vitality and energy into the summer of 2020.
Zhao Xi, General Manager of Keep Marketing Center Delivered Speech on the Conference
At the event, Keep announced the launch of a series of genuine Zumba® courses, a world-leading fitness brand. This marks Keep’s deep commitment to the introduction of copyrighted content, as well as an expansion in the variety of its courses and in the portfolio of licensed fitness content.
Keep invited 5 heavyweight Bilibili video uploaders to participate in the conference as Zumba® experience officers and dance with internationally renowned Zumba® instructors. This interaction continues to support the spread of these types of fitness programs and gain a legitimate foothold in China. The collaboration between the two firms gives China’s young adults an opportunity to know and experience Zumba® and enables further collaboration on and exchanges of sports cultures.
At the sharing session themed "At Keep, exercise what you like" that was part of the press conference, Zhao Xi, general manager of the Keep marketing center, related Keep’s thinking over the last few years in terms of further exploration into the world of sports and fitness. "The original intention of Keep is to enable more people to experience science-based exercise and enjoy a healthy lifestyle anytime and anywhere," said Zhao. Keep is committed to examining more possibilities on breaking down the boundaries that inhibit people from taking that first step towards engaging in a healthy exercise routine and making it possible for every person to find the content that resonates with their expectations.
During the five years since Keep’s founding, the firm has accumulated over 200 million sports-loving users. The platform has introduced a variety of courses that meet the diversified needs of different groups when it comes to sports and exercise, such as the Tai Chi series courses in cooperation with Taiji Zen, ballet courses in partnership with the Russian Hermitage Ballet, and plot run courses in cooperation with Marvel. Keep is not only focusing on the amount of content that it plans to make available, but also on the diversity of the content offerings.
This formal and strategic collaboration with the international fitness brand Zumba® supported the launch of its newest HIIT program, Strong Nation™. A music-led, high-intensity training exercise class that combines bodyweight, muscle conditioning, cardio, and plyometric training moves. Routines are created first and then music is reverse-engineered to match every move perfectly, for a unique workout experience. This new concept, which emphasizes music, is the main motivator, allowing participants to burn more calories while toning abs, legs, arms, and glutes.
Compared with traditional training routines, Zumba® moves beyond the limitations of basic aerobics, turning something that feels repetitive into an exciting and stimulating event. Zumba’s huge number of fans lose weight effortlessly while dancing joyfully. CEO Alberto Perlman claims that, "Zumba now has millions of class participants worldwide." Knowing that nothing compares to a live class experience, Zumba® acknowledges that trying classes at home is often the beginning of the Zumba® journey so that is why working with Keep has been a great collaboration. We (Zumba®) are happy to collaborate with companies around the world that align with this journey, and that’s why we are so excited to be working with Keep."
Alberto Perlman, CEO of Zumba Joined the Video Conference
The collaboration allows Keep’s users to engage in their exercise routine mentored by licensed Zumba® Instructors from Keepland, as well as experience 14 of Zumba’s official programs via the Keep app anytime and anywhere. Keep and Zumba® will continue to work together to keep users engaged in both of their programs: Zumba® and Strong Nation™
With a deep understanding of user expectations, Keep is committed to creating an excellent fitness experience by providing users with increasingly improved fitness solutions enhanced by the brand’s insights into user habits and preferences as well as its competitive content and enhanced products.
