Tesco scales online offerings to help Malaysians safely get their essentials

 

Tesco Stores (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd has scaled its offerings on its official store on Shopee by 200 items, bringing its total product assortment to over 3,000. This is on the back of stay-home efforts encouraged by the Government, where most Malaysians are observing the Conditional Movement Control Order.

“No one tries harder for customers than we do, here in Tesco. We have seen the demand for groceries and other household items increased ever since the start of this pandemic and with the situation persisting, this is the ‘new normal’ now,” said Tesco Product Director, Kenneth Chuah. “By increasing the assortment on our store on Shopee, our customers can now shop for daily essentials and more, safely from home with confidence and ease during these uncertain times,” he continued.

“We are also especially pleased to partner with Shopee as not only this brings more convenience to our customers, but it also enables us to offer shoppers in Sabah and Sarawak the best of Tesco, where we are not yet physically present,” added Chuah.

The top 200 items that were added to Tesco’s official store on Shopee was determined through the consumer data and purchase trends from its network of 62 physical stores nationwide. These items include grocery food and drinks; baby toys and diapers; personal and healthcare products; home storage; small furniture and many more.

Most notably, Tesco has also strengthened its electronic offerings by including several varieties of the Microsoft Surface Go 2 and the Microsoft Surface Pro 7, with discounted prices beginning at around RM2,899 and RM4,149 respectively. Knowing that smartphones are the lifeline of many, Tesco is also stocking its official Shopee store with varieties of Samsung offerings such as the Samsung Galaxy A31, Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Samsung Galaxy Fold and many more at affordable prices.

Apart from its wide assortment, Tesco will also be offering in-store discounts of up to 50 per cent on Shopee during the e-commerce platform’s 12.12 Birthday Sale which is ongoing until 12 December 2020. Malaysians will be able to enjoy bigger savings on well-loved and value-for-money Tesco Own Brand items which also include the best-selling baby essentials range, Fred & Flo and other essentials while enjoying store-wide free shipping. For smoother checkouts throughout the campaign, users can top up their ShopeePay accounts so they do not miss Tesco’s limited time deals or products in fast sellouts.
