"This is a positive sign given there are limited sales information revealed by e-retailers at this point of time. It is highly possible that the success of past #MYCYBERSALE events have led to the high interest this year, and potentially, those who missed the previous version are going to join the purchasing crowd from Oct 9th to 13th," Alvin Gill, Country General Manager of ShopBack Malaysia expressed.

Which categories do you plan to shop during #MYCYBERSALE?

The findings also show that electronics is the most popular category, followed by health & beauty, home & living and fashion. Based on shoppers' preferences, Alvin encourages online marketplaces in the country to put a heavier focus on these categories, and as for the e-retailers in other industries, applying an effective marketing approach could help to make their products more appealing.

With that in mind, ShopBack Malaysia delved deeper into its gathered user data to find out plausible ways for e-retailers to increase their competitiveness.

Influential factors & budget

Most of the shoppers indicated a price slash of more than 50% would attract them the most, and the second and third factors that would affect their purchasing decision are promotional/discount code and free shipping. Interestingly, shoppers voted 14 days refund policy as the least important factor, after free gift and exclusive flash deals.

In addition, 60% of respondents shop via both desktop and mobile, while 21% only use mobile devices and 19% only use desktop as it provides a better view (larger screen) as well as a quicker research process.

Main information sources of #MYCYBERSALE

There are close to 55% respondents who referred Facebook and Google search as their main information source for #MYCYBERSALE 2017. E-retailers could consider pouring more investment and efforts into these two online channels to entice shoppers.

"Pricing is clearly the most powerful tactic during online sales. Our data also shows that shoppers tends to be very active during post-meal period i.e. after 2pm and 8pm. Pushing marketing messages via digital advertisement at the right timing would help in generating traffic and sales. Such message has to be tailor-made for desktop and mobile in order to achieve the best outcome, " Alvin added.
