With the successful conclusion of the 10.10 mega sale, TikTok Shop Southeast Asia cross-border e-commerce has quickly shifted its focus to preparing for the biggest shopping festival of the year—the 11.11 mega sale.

To welcome this grand event, TikTok Shop has already released a detailed event calendar, hot-selling product lists, merchant preparation guides, as well as platform discount support policies, providing comprehensive support for merchants.

Phased Mega Sale Event Arrangements

TikTok Shop Southeast Asia cross-border e-commerce has specially selected November 2 to 12 as the event period for the 2024 11.11 Shopping Festival.

The event periods vary by site. The Singapore site will run from November 2 to November 11, lasting 10 days; the Philippines site will start on November 5 and also end on November 11, lasting 7 days; the Malaysia and Thailand sites will each have a 5-day event period, from November 7 to November 11; the Vietnam site will start on November 8 and end on November 12, also lasting 5 days.

This strategy aims to comprehensively cover the entire Southeast Asian region, ensuring that consumers in every country can participate in and experience this shopping extravaganza.

Three Major Preparation Strategies

In terms of preparation strategies, TikTok Shop officials have emphasized three key points: inventory management, participating in online live streaming, and grasping product selection trends in the Southeast Asian market.

1. Inventory Management

Ensuring sufficient inventory helps stores gain continuous exposure during the mega sale and supports long-term sales growth. To this end, TikTok Shop has launched activities such as video ranking competitions and the Rising Star Competition, encouraging merchants to post short videos with purchase links to expand product visibility and purchasing channels.

The platform also provides resources such as subsidies and allowances to help merchants gain more traffic support during flash sale events.

2. Live Streaming Sales

Live streaming has become an important sales method in the TikTok Shop Southeast Asian market. During 11.11, TikTok Shop has launched limited-time flash sales, live streaming competitions, and Syok vouchers, providing merchants with bonuses, vouchers, and exposure incentives.

Through these incentives, merchants can attract more viewers to their live streams, increasing the activity and conversion rate of their live rooms. The interactivity and immediacy of live streaming sales allow the selling points of products to be directly conveyed to viewers, achieving efficient conversion.

3. Product Selection Strategy

As for product selection, the hot-selling category trends from the TikTok Shop 10.10 mega sale provide important references for merchants preparing for the 11.11 mega sale.

According to the data, categories such as nail products and eye & lip care products in the beauty and personal care field, outdoor adventure gear and daily cleaning items in household goods, accessories such as bracelets and bangles, comfortable women's underwear, as well as audio-visual equipment and humidifiers in 3C digital home appliances, all show low market penetration and high growth potential, making them worthy of attention as selected directions.

These products not only meet consumer needs but also have considerable market growth potential, providing merchants with clear product selection guidance for the 11.11 mega sale.

Summary

Through carefully planned event arrangements, comprehensive merchant support policies, and precise product selection guidance, TikTok Shop Southeast Asia cross-border e-commerce has made full preparations for the 11.11 mega sale.

Merchants are expected to make the most of platform resources to achieve both brand exposure and sales growth, while consumers can enjoy the fun of shopping and obtain high cost-performance products.

With the launch of the 11.11 mega sale, TikTok Shop will undoubtedly become a highlight in the Southeast Asian e-commerce market, bringing a shopping feast to both merchants and consumers.
