In addition, the refreshed LazMall offers brands increased visibility, traffic, 
and quality leads that map the right target audience to brands. On top of 
effectively reaching the right target audience, access to value-added marketing 
solutions and data insights will further help drive traffic and brand growth. 
Brands will also be able to leverage Lazada's logistics infrastructure and 
fulfilment capabilities to improve the overall customer journey on LazMall, 
both during regular business periods as well as mega campaigns such as 9.9. 

"LazMall plays a key role in Lazada's overall business strategy as local and 
international brands look to advance their presence and growth through an 
omnichannel approach in Southeast Asia. More than 80% of Forbes' Most Valuable 
Consumer Brands[1] are on LazMall because we are constantly investing in key 
infrastructure services and user experience to support and complement our brand 
partners. By strengthening the consumer online commerce journey, we provide 
brands with more avenues to diversify and increase their consumer touchpoints," 
said Jessica Liu, Co-President and Regional Head of Commercial, Lazada Group.

LazMall provides brands with a robust eCommerce solution that allows new brands 
to open their Lazada store more conveniently. Brands can also integrate their 
loyalty programme into our platform and leverage Lazada's proprietary 
technology infrastructure for search, recommendations and LazLive livestreaming 
– which collectively bring about an unmatched shopping experience.

Currently, LazMall shoppers gain first access to exclusive launches from many 
top brands, as well as Brand Mega Offers that provide daily attractive discount 
promotions by LazMall retailers. To step up its brand promise, four new 
features that will be introduced on the platform are: 

1.Beat the Price: Deal-seekers can discover market-beating prices on a daily 
assortment of top-selling products; 
2.Brands for You: Shoppers can enjoy a customised set of recommended brands 
based on user interest and recent interactions with the LazMall channel; 
3.Brand Directory: Consumers can access and navigate a comprehensive directory 
of all brands across categories to seamlessly find the brands they love; and 
4.Follow Button Feature: The LazMall channel now comes with a 'follow' button 
to increase engagements and improve adhesion for consumers to subscribe to and 
get access to the latest updates on deals and offers.

Since LazMall's inception in 2018, the largest virtual mall in Southeast Asia 
has grown more than nine-fold, including department stores and shopping malls. 
In 2020 Q2, the total number of brands who have come on LazMall more than 
doubled year-on-year, and the LazMall quarterly orders saw more than 3x 
increase year-on-year. 

Popular and reputable brands that have joined Lazada's B2C virtual mall include 
30 tenants from Singapore's Marina Square and 40 tenants from Thailand's Siam 
Center. Brands such as Coach, Himalaya, Miniso, Kiehl's, Starbucks and Under 
Armour that onboarded in the last six months will also participate in their 
first 9.9 mega campaign.

With over 18,000 brands, LazMall is committed to product authenticity and 
pioneering the region's first bold compensation policy[2] - offering up to 5x 
return in Thailand and Malaysia, and 2x return in Singapore, Vietnam, 
Indonesia, and the Philippines for purchases proven to be non-authentic. This 
is on top of a 15 days hassle-free return policy, guaranteeing 100% authentic 
quality products with specially curated attractive promotions and discounts in 
all markets.

Furthermore, Lazada has been co-curating Super Brand Day (SBD) events with 
top-rated brands since the successful launch of its first SBD with MAC 
Cosmetics in 2018. These exclusive 24-hour shopping events leverage Lazada's 
technology to customise seamless Shoppertainment experiences that enable brands 
to reach a wider audience through such meaningful approaches.

In the lead up to Lazada's 9.9 shopping festival, shoppers can look forward to 
the biggest showcase of brand deals during Lazada's 9.9 LazMall Big Brands 
Sale. An engaging line up of Shoppertainment initiatives such as in-app 
livestream shows, awaits shoppers, who can also score the best deals through 
rewards and vouchers that can be redeemed with the coins accumulated when 
playing LazGames.
