The Lazada Seller team together with top sellers Steve Plibundo, Naresh Daswani, Monalisa Gao, Steve Sy, and Ankur Choudhary<\/em><\/p>\n They have experienced strong uplift3<\/sup> in their sales during the month-long Online Revolution sale. In addition,\u00a0they have also offered great value to shoppers with their deals, efficient product dispatches, as well as achieving minimal number of returns and cancellations on their products.<\/p>\n Inanc Balci, Lazada Philippines Co-Founder and CEO said, \u201cLazada has become the biggest entrepreneurial opportunity in the Philippines. Our\u00a0platform, payment and logistics services enable all our merchants to achieve commercial success by reaching out to millions of Filipinos every day.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWith this business trip set for our sellers to Hangzhou, we are confident that our sellers will further improve their businesses by incorporating Alibaba\u2019s best practices into their strategy. Our merchant\u2019s success is our utmost duty.\u201d added Balci.<\/p>\n Steve\u00a0Sy\u00a0of Great Deals Marketing shared, \u201cI started selling online last quarter of 2014\u00a0with power banks. I then realized that\u00a0there is a great opportunity in e-commerce\u00a0when\u00a0my inventory was completely sold out during\u00a0the Online Revolution sale.\u00a0In just a span of two years, we have increased our sales to more than 200% – tremendous growth versus offline.\u00a0Now I am even\u00a0more excited for the upcoming 5th Birthday Sale this coming March 21 to 23.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to learning opportunities overseas, Lazada offers sellers a comprehensive suite of tools and solutions to make their online business a success. The seller center for instance, gives sellers a comprehensive overview of their business with Lazada. It is also a mobile platform for sellers to manage their business on-the-go.
