We are delighted to see how these local brands were able to achieve over 4.5x increase in sales on 11.11, compared to a normal day, and witness how local creators Pinn Yang and Khairul Aming were able to unleash the power of social commerce to support local MSMEs by generating million-ringgit sales each via livestreaming during 11.11.”
