Our latest e-Conomy SEA Report unveils the incredible growth and profitability of Southeast Asia's digital economy. In just two short years, the region has experienced a remarkable 2.5X surge in profits while maintaining robust double-digit growth. One of the most significant trends we've observed is the evolution of e-commerce. While first-time shoppers were once the primary driver, we're now witnessing a shift towards repeat customers. These loyal shoppers account for a substantial 70% of e-commerce expansion, propelling the industry towards an estimated $159 billion  Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) by 2024. Another game-changer is the rise of video commerce. From live shopping to influencer-led content, video is revolutionizing the way consumers shop online. In fact, video commerce has captured a significant 20% of e-commerce GMV, up from a mere 5% in 2022. What does this mean for marketers? 🛒 Prioritize Customer Retention: Invest in loyalty programs and exceptional customer experiences to foster long-term relationships with your customers. 📹 Embrace Video Commerce: Leverage video platforms to create engaging video content that drives sales and captures the attention of your target audience. Read on here for the report’s key takeaways: https://lnkd.in/gj4CC9dW Download the full report here: goo.gle/sea #eConomySEA #ProfitabilityOnTheRise #AdvanceSEAwithAI

Lam Tran is the co-founder and CEO at WisePass, a lifestyle app that connects brands to consumers through events, promotions, and rewards. Before WisePass, he was at Google and Tiki and had grown up French-Vietnamese. ‍ 👋🏼 How would you explain your job to someone outside tech? At networking events, I have a 30-second pitch where I tell people I used to work for Google and my job was to drive traffic to their websites, apps and measure sales for the client. For WisePass, it's pretty much the same but we measure sales offline. For users, I just explain them that it's a membership where you can discover cool new places, access some cool events, get some cool promotions, enjoy some cool rewards for 15 bucks a month. For venues we're working with, we're basically their B2B sales. We drive traffic and sales. Initially we just list and there's no cost. If they want to do more with us and create special offers and build their own VIP customers then we can charge a flat fee for 30 bucks a month.  ‍ 🧐 What's something about you or your job that would surprise us? The beverage industry is still using Excel spreadsheets in 2024. ‍ 🏆 What has been the biggest highlight of your career so far? The breakthrough moment was when I found that the app was used every day and we generated thousands of redemptions earlier in the year 2018. It took me a couple years to get there. Finding the product-market fit for a product that doesn't really exist around the world makes it more difficult. You don't have a blueprint and need to keep trying.  ‍ 🔍 What's a startup trend or space you're watching this year? E-commerce. My background is in e-commerce, and for the past 20 years I've always been interested in seeing what's happening.  ‍ 💼 What advice would you give someone starting out in your industry?  Get as much knowledge as you can, so you can build your expertise and understand the problem the industry is facing.  ‍ 🗣 What's one thing you can keep talking about for hours?  Data ‍ 🎥 What's your favorite movie/TV show?  Inception ‍ 🍨 What's your go-to ice cream flavor?

Can you build a bootstrapped, remote-first company to $100m in revenue? The post below clearly shows that is it possible. Here is a brief timeline of Todoist: → The founder emigrated to Denmark in the 90s when his family had to flee the war that erupted in Bosnia and Herzegovina. → 2007: Amir creates Todoist as a side project while studying at Aarhus University → 2008: Amir drops out to co-found Plurk, continues Todoist as a side project → 2011: Leaves Plurk, returns to Bosnia, gets $40k equity free funding for Wedoist from an accelator → 2012: Founds Productivity Ltd. (later Doist), adopts fully-remote model → 2013: Launches Todoist Business with collaboration features → 2015: Major redesign and rebranding of Todoist → 2016: Introduces AI-powered task scheduling → 2017: Launches Twist, an asynchronous communication app → 2019: Reaches over 20 million users worldwide → 2020: Adapts to increased demand during global pandemic → 2021: Introduces new features for remote work optimization → 2022: Has 73 employees across 25 countries; launches Linux version → 2023: Expands enterprise offerings and integrations → 2024: Todoist hits $100m in lifetime revenue Many people may have read the post below and thought of the company of being an overnight success. However, that is far from the truth. I strongly believe that you could achieve what Amir has far more efficiently with all the tools and infrastructure we have today. If you are frustrated at your day job and want to start a side hustle, let's chat!

Thank you, #Campaign360, for the opportunity to lead the discussion on Managing and Maximizing First-Party Data in e-commerce—a topic I am deeply passionate about, particularly from my experience running my own e-commerce business in the food industry. First-party data collection encompasses various considerations, from the methods of collection and potential monetization strategies to compliance issues.

Four stages of startups founder growth according to someone I read recently: First time founder cares about product. Second time founder cares about distribution (marketing). Third time founder cares about retention. Fourth time founder cares about finding a big enough market. My favorite market in the adtech/martech industry is cashback. It’s huge! Probably because it just goes so well with e-commerce - whatever you buy, it’s better with cashback. Anyway, recently we closed a deal with Qoala. The guys are about all things smart shopping and I love it https://lnkd.in/ekGpzp6x
