KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 April 2025 – Raya is more than just a festive season for Shopee sellers—it’s their biggest sales opportunity of the year, deeply tied to personal and business aspirations. According to Shopee’s Raya 2025 Seller Trends Study*, 9 in 10 sellers experience a significant sales boost during this period, with nearly half calling it their most profitable season.

When surveyed, 60% of sellers shared that their main drive is ensuring financial stability for their families, while 30% see Raya as a key opportunity to grow their businesses for long-term success. The remainder are motivated by offering Raya-specific products that enhance the Raya celebration and help their customers create meaningful experiences during the festive season.

Seizing the Raya rush, sellers strategically leveraged Shopee’s tools to reach more customers and increase engagement. Every active seller utilised buyer incentive features including, Shopee Ads, Shopee Coins, and vouchers, ensuring their products remained visible to shoppers. Meanwhile, eight in ten sellers tapped into the Shopee Live and Shopee Video features, which played a significant role in driving sales spikes. Sellers recognised the power of these content-driven tools to build deeper connections with buyers, enhancing visibility and driving conversions. The Shopee Affiliates program, also contributed to expanding reach through trusted recommendations.

Shopee Live and Shopee Video were key enablers of exponential growth for many sellers. By tapping into these tools, sellers saw significant sales spikes. One such seller is Mohd Naimran Nordin, founder of Adnaa, who views Raya as a time to celebrate tradition and family through fashion. Inspired by his wife and children, Naimran has built Adnaa into a brand known for its elegant yet accessible traditional wear, catering to families looking for stylish Raya attire.

“Shopee’s content tools brought our designs to life, helping customers see the quality and fit in real time. With a mix of live streaming, video content, and affiliate marketing, we reached more shoppers than ever. Shopee Live lets us connect personally, Shopee Video highlights our craftsmanship, and Shopee Affiliates help us expand through trusted recommendations. This Raya, our sales surged over 170%—but more importantly, we helped families find outfits that made them feel confident and connected during the celebrations,” shared Naimran.

Shopee Live became a key driver of Adnaa’s success, aligning with findings from the study, where 45% of sellers use it for product demos and Q&As. By hosting interactive styling sessions, Adnaa saw a 116% increase in sales through Shopee Live, as live streaming provided an opportunity for real-time interactions with potential customers, answering their questions and showcasing product details. Shopee Video further supported their brand storytelling, allowing Adnaa to engage audiences with curated showcases and behind-the-scenes content that deepened trust and interest. Shopee Affiliates also proved crucial, boosting sales by 227% as influencer recommendations expanded Adnaa’s reach.
