The Success of WeChat and Lazada’s Partnership
Lazada has always been one of my favorite online shops in the Philippines. I completely trust this brand when it comes to providing the items I want at affordable prices. WeChat, the country’s leading social mobile app, has been keeping me connected with the people I love across the globe. In fact, it is one of the most-opened or used application in my phone. WeChat makes it easy for me to get updates from my friends even if we are miles away. Lazada and WeChat never failed to make me feel happy. And this time, they made me happier by announcing another WeChat-Lazada partnership.
WeChat is Teaming Up with Lazada
Lazada, the country’s online shopping mall, is partnering with leading social mobile app WeChat, to bring users an exclusive surprise. This is in line with the celebration of Lazada’s anniversary and its 2nd Anniversary Sale.
In my previous post “
Exciting Surprise for WeChat Users: Get An Exclusive Offer from Lazada PH,” I talked about how the followers of Lazada Philippines at WeChat can get a big discount on the tablets at its online shop. And this partnership was a great success! Did you know that hundreds of tablets were sold in just a couple of hours through WeCha? Lazada’s creative promotional ideas, paired with WeChat’s large number of young users, have received positive feedback particularly for its easy to use interface and quick to navigate features.
Lazada Says “Thank You”
Lazada wants to show their gratitude and appreciation to their loyal customers! They are rewarding all customers with substantial discounts on their best-selling items. The new promotion will give an opportunity for all customers to purchase their favorite Lazada items through WeChat.

I find the app and the store website link together…makes and help the customers shops online clearer and easier.
That's great! I haven't shopped at Lazada yet although I have a couple of vouchers from them. WeChat? I've only learned about that from my SIL. I don't think it's available here.
Lazada seems to be really captivating a lot of online shoppers there in our country. Glad to see that there are online companies like them who caters those shoppers who has limited time to shop in the mall.
I am such a picky shopper because I need to touch the item I intend to buy. Because of a negative customer experience of having to go through the returns process, I only buy stuff online with trusted manufacturers. Lazada has some good house ware items that are worth looking at and with the link up of WeChat, the process would be easier indeed.
WeChat really connects people from all around the nation, and now, not only they connect people but connect people to shops as well. Kudos to WeChat and Lazada.
I have done this after reading the other blogger about wechat and lazada's partnership. I have receive some updates already congrats to both! x0~ http://www.tauyanm.com
I actually tried availing the special deal partnership of Lazada with WeChat when i first heard about it to hoard 3 tablets as grad gifts but to no avail, i think the offer already ran out. Good thing they're on up to 85% sale this weekend!!! ^_^
There are too many chat apps available for mobile i'm confused which to use na hahaha
I love the app because it is convenient. And I am happy they partnered with Lazada because I am sure they would have good partnerships 😀
I love WeChat and it's good that they partnered together with Lazada 😀 I'm sure the partnership will garner good results
I have heard so much about Lizada and this chat. It sounds like a perfect partnership. It gives the customer an easy access to shop and talk to chat to somebody if they have issues with their items 🙂
This is an excellent team up of an online store and the popular social app.
Very good marketing strategy for the two successful companies; Lazada and WeChat.
WeChats Network plus Lazada's promo is such a perfect team up.

I already performed all the steps above and I'll be starting to do online window-shopping for gadgets with lazada now. 😀
Been hearing about this news – and I believe they did a great job!
Wow nice! I've been using lazada for quite sometime now and I love it. Now that wechat is also with them, i guess it would be a better online shopping experience for me then.
This is such a good news for their avid customers. Even though I haven't tried yet both of these services but they seem great like what the others have said.
Too bad I wasn't able to catch the deal of Lazada.
