There’s also an increase in shopping activities between 10am-11am, as well as a steady purchasing trend for vouchers category.

To help shoppers learn and understand the smarter way to shop at Taobao and Tmall, ShopBack has developed and promoted its very own browser extension, coupled with an ultimate guide that consists of articles and videos since the beginning of October. It certainly contributed to the growth and we expect to be able to reach RM5.19M sales today.
