Leading eCommerce platform Lazada has introduced the first-ever “digital giving” platform by an eCommerce player in the Philippines that will allow shoppers of Lazada to donate to local communities and causes. They can use the Lazada platform to donate directly to these causes.
The project, which is part of a wider LazadaForGood program, leads up to Lazada’s anticipated 12.12 Grand Year Sale. With more than 12 million deals, customers can look forward to shopping this season.
Currently, there are 11 local and international advocacy partners on Lazada’s digital giving platform: Habitat for Humanity, Young Focus, Caritas Manila, MovEd, UNHCR, Hero Foundation Inc., UNICEF, WWF, Tahanan ng Pagmamahal, HOPE, and CCEF. Shoppers can support causes close to their hearts, from alleviating poverty and saving the environment to putting a roof over someone’s head.
“Christmas is the season for giving, and we want to empower our customers to do just that and empower our advocacy partners in their various causes. Lazada’s 12.12 Grand Year End Sale is not only about making our wishes or our loved ones’ wishes come true, but also to make the wishes of many others in the community come true,” said Ray Alimurung, Lazada Philippines’ chief executive officer.
“This is the first Digital Giving platform by an eCommerce company in the Philippines. We are truly honored to partner with great organizations who share the same values, and going forward, hope to sustain this initiative by onboarding more. We believe that everyone can contribute in their own way, big or small, and we would like to do our part by providing our advocacy partners a platform to champion their causes, raise awareness, funds and resources.”
Lazada’s digital giving platform makes it easier for the organizations to onboard on the platform and access Lazada tools and services that will aid in improving their online store.
In addition, Lazada created a one collective landing page for the partners that will drive more awareness and traffic to their respective shops.
For shoppers, Lazada will also help inform the users on how they can now easily donate to local and international advocacies using the platform. Lazada also provides them peace of mind as they are assured of making secure online payments (monetary donations) to these causes.
“At Lazada, we are a platform that takes meaningful partnerships seriously online and offline. As the leading online lifestyle destination in the country, it is our duty and responsibility to empower and demonstrate real human connection and meaningful shared experiences. This Christmas season, we want our customers to add their heart-to-cart and shop for good.”, said Neil Trinidad, Chief Marketing Officer.
Lazada’s digital giving platform was formally launched last December 4 during “The Lunch of Hope”, which introduced the 11 advocacy partners. The event provided information on some of the exclusive donatable items available online and how customers can purchase them to help support individuals and communities in need.
