SINGAPORE, Nov. 3, 2020 — Lazada, the region’s leading eCommerce platform, kicks off this year’s 11.11 Shopping Festival with more than 350,000 brands and sellers across Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam joining its Biggest One-Day Sale. Thousands of new brands will also participate in Lazada’s highly anticipated shopping event for the first time this year.

Celebrating the eighth edition of its annual big show, Lazada is reinvigorating its 11.11 Shopping Festival with attractive promotions, exclusive deals, rewards, and exciting Shoppertainment content to bring non-stop happiness to 80 million consumers who have embraced eCommerce as part of their daily purchasing routine this year.

Adding to this year’s 11.11 celebrations, consumers will also be able to enjoy a little stardust from Lazada’s first regional brand ambassador, popular Korean superstar Lee Min Ho. He has joined the Lazada family to spread happiness with his encouraging personality and put a smile on fans’ faces as they shop for their favourite brands and products.

Local brands take centerstage, powered by Lazada’s technology and logistics infrastructure

From Prism+ in Singapore, Signature Markets in Malaysia to Wardah in Indonesia, homegrown local brands take centerstage as Lazada promotes the development and sustainability of young brands, some who have only made the online switch this year, to take on their first 11.11 shopping festival with Lazada.

In support of over 150,000 local brands and sellers in our markets, Lazada extended stimulus packages offering cash funds to subsidise start-up costs, and helped small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs) optimize cash flow by partnering with financial institutions. Being able to leverage Lazada’s technology and logistics infrastructure boosted the operational capabilities of local businesses from agri-farmers in Malaysia and the Philippines, to artisanal craftsmen in Thailand and Vietnam, and helped them diversify their revenue source.

Lazada’s logistics network covers six countries across Southeast Asia and is ready to handle peak-time order volumes. This network, which includes over 15 warehouse facilities, over 400 sortation centres and hubs and is supported by 45 logistics partners, is ready for volumes from domestic and cross-border sales of over 30 times the norm this 11.11 season. In addition, Lazada is expecting its logistics fleet to see a 25% increase in mileage fulfilling orders this 11.11, compared to last year.

"Our data-driven technology and smart algorithms enhance the user experience by improving product relevancy and buyer-seller matching, helping our sellers achieve better results," said Li. "Each 11.11 sets a new benchmark for our technology and logistics infrastructure to deliver the best service to our customers – this year will be no different as we prepare to serve even more buyers and sellers."

Consumers enjoy vouchers, promotions and deals through new Shoppertainment features

Besides an improved browsing and product discovery experience, shoppers can anticipate benefits including over 200 million deals with maximised value and free shipping where available. With over 700 million vouchers offering discounts of 10% off or more, there will be at least eight vouchers available for each of Lazada’s active consumers.

"We are grateful for the support of our local businesses and international brands for choosing Lazada for this annual big show. The Lazada team believes we have a duty to help consumers find lighthearted joy and spread happiness with family and friends, especially right now," said Jessica Liu, Co-President and Regional Head of Commercial, Lazada Group. "With that spirit, we will have the most attractive promotions and deals at the lowest prices, together with non-stop entertainment like LazGames and livestreams."

Fans of LazGames can also play Happy Bounce, Lazada’s newest game, where shoppers can navigate a cute "Kitten" avatar through different levels by swiping left and right to collect Lazada coins and vouchers. Almost USD2 million worth of rewards from over 5,000 brands and sellers are up for redemption. Shoppers can also earn extra points to access more deals by inviting friends to join the game. Coins earned through LazGames can now be converted to vouchers to make purchases on the platform.

Lazada’s signature 11.11 Super Show – country-hosted concerts featuring local celebrities and performers – will also take the stage on the eve of 11 November. Consumers will also have the opportunity to win exclusive vouchers through various interactive segments, such as Balloon Rain, Voucher Rain and Shake It!, which will be localised in each market.

Pantum sees boost in printer sales as India gradually reopens

Leave a comment

MUMBAI, India, Oct. 28, 2020 — Pantum has experienced robust growth in printer sales in the Indian market as the country gradually reopens, with monthly sales jumping 100%. Several Wi-Fi models are hot cakes in the market and sold out quickly with their increasing popularity during the pandemic.

One such model is the P2500W monochrome laser printer. No taller than a mobile phone and no wider than an A4 paper, this compact printer takes up minimal space and is easy to install, thanks to Pantum’s one-click installation. With a printing speed of 22 pages per minute (PPM) and a monthly printing capacity of 2,000 pages, it is particularly suited to home offices. Currently, approximately 80% of India’s population has returned to work, but some continue to work from home. Moreover, as schools in India remain closed, students must study from home. This model prints both work-related documents and schoolwork easily, while its mobile printing function enables users to conveniently and quickly print via mobile phones.

"I bought this printer because it is extremely compact and affordable," says Abhishek Sawant. "Among them, the Wi-Fi model is the most cost-effective. I usually use it to print documents for my work, and I can do it directly from my phone thanks to the Wi-Fi function. This has made work much more convenient as well as printing homework for my children, which is extremely helpful in the current situation."

Another sold-out model is the multi-function, all-in-one M6502NW printer. It can print, copy, and scan, making it ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises. Moreover, it can connect via USB, network, and Wi-Fi. With the Wi-Fi function, multiple users can connect to the same printer, saving costs and improving efficiency during a time when businesses are closely evaluating expenses. With printing and copying speeds of 22 PPM, it boasts a monthly volume of up to 20,000 pages. One-step installation and mobile printing make the experience even more seamless.

"I bought the Wi-Fi version of the M6502NW printer for our small business, allowing several people to connect at the same time," says Soniya Jain. "It is both practical and cost-effective, with all the functions necessary. I would definitely recommend it to friends and other offices."

In light of the pandemic, Pantum is focused on adapting to changes in work and life. Mr. Abhra, India Sales Head, says, "Given the pandemic, minimizing time outside of the house helps us protect ourselves and loved ones. To adapt to this new way of life, a printer can help us carry out more tasks at home, enabling us to complete our work efficiently and assisting children in their studies. In the long run, buy one! It’s also much cheaper than relying on printing shops."

As the pandemic causes modern life to shift, Pantum products emerge as strong partners, helping users work and study in the new normal. Pantum will continue to adapt to consumer needs and develop printers accordingly.

Electrolux Q3 2020 Interim report: Strong results and cash flow on rebounding markets

Leave a comment

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 23, 2020 —

The comments and figures in this report refer to continuing operations unless otherwise stated

Highlights of the third quarter of 2020

  • Net sales amounted to SEK 32,004m (30,330). Organic sales increased by 15.2%.
  • Record high operating income of SEK 3,220m (1,063), corresponding to a margin of 10.1% (3.5), mainly driven by strong volumes and prices. The comparison period included non-recurring items of SEK -290m.
  • Significant market recovery driven mainly by pent-up demand and government stimulus programs.
  • Income for the period amounted to SEK 2,356m (610) and earnings per share was SEK 8.20 (2.12).
  • Operating cash flow after investments was SEK 6,005m (2,499).
  • The Board proposes to reinstate a dividend for 2019 of SEK 7.00 (8.50) per share, to be paid in one instalment.

President and CEO Jonas Samuelson’s comment

In the third quarter Electrolux reported record earnings of SEK 3,220m, or 10.1% of net sales, driven by pent-up demand and government stimulus programs impacting consumer spending. This drove significant volume growth, and positive price and mix improvement, resulting in organic sales growth of 15.2%. The record high operating income translated into a strong operating cash flow after investments of SEK 6,005m.

The strong demand in the quarter was to a significant extent a recovery of the very low market volumes in March-May due to store closures and restrictions on movement. Demand was further enhanced by stimulus programs, more than compensating for the weaker economy caused by the pandemic. Due to pandemic restrictions during the first half of the year, we entered the quarter with unusually low inventory levels, which have remained during the quarter despite high production levels, somewhat impacting our ability to meet the strong demand across all regions. 

Sales also benefitted from consumers spending more time at home, using their appliances more intensively and allocating more of their household budgets to home improvement. This in combination with our relentless focus on consumer experience innovation has continued to improve demand for our more highly featured products, driving favorable product mix.

One great experience innovation example is the Frigidaire Gallery AirFry cooker that recently received the 2020 innovation award at the Home Depot. The AirFry cooker also delivers a significantly higher gross margin compared to traditional cookers. Innovation is truly a key pillar for creating value and that is why we will showcase how we are driving profitable growth through innovation at our online Capital Markets Update on November 17.

The Board of Directors proposed to reinstate a dividend for the fiscal year 2019 based on the recovery in earnings and cash flow. The proposed dividend of SEK 7 per share will be up for decision at an Extraordinary General Meeting on November 3. Our strong commitment to sustainability remains unchanged with the target of climate neutrality by 2050, and I am pleased that the long-term incentive program for senior managers proposed by the Board includes a substantial climate impact reduction element.

Looking into the fourth quarter, visibility remains limited as demand may be impacted by several factors, especially as the pandemic is still very much present. However, we currently anticipate that consumer demand and thus financial performance will normalize gradually going forward. Considering this and the catch-up effect during the third quarter, we are revising our market outlook for the full-year 2020 upwards. We anticipate market demand for appliances in Europe to be slightly positive, in North America to be slightly positive to positive and in Latin America to be positive. It is only the combined demand in our larger markets in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa region that we still expect to be negative for 2020.

I am very proud of how we as an organization successfully have navigated in these challenging times. My colleagues around the world has done a great job in executing on our strategy. That is why I am confident that Electrolux remains well positioned to create value.
