More than 50% of Singaporeans want more local brands online: report

But, shoppers will only buy from brands with good deals and promotions.

A total of 53% of online shoppers want to see more local brands on e-commerce platforms, Amazon Singapore found.

Despite this interest, a larger majority of 78% said they will only buy from local brands that offer good deals and promotions. Another 66% also said they will shop from brands with the lowest price offering.

“This indicates that while Singaporean shoppers appreciate having more options from local brands, price and value-for-money are still the top considerations, and local brands have to be competitive in their pricing and offers in order to attract online shoppers,” the report read in part.

Moreover, Amazon Singapore found that the majority of online shoppers in Singapore said they plan to purchase items online for themselves during the holiday (68%).

Despite this, 37% of those aged 25-34 years said they plan to purchase items for their parents or partner’s parents, whilst nearly half of those aged 35-54 years plan to purchase items for their children (48%).

“This indicates that there is an opportunity for retailers with a target audience aged 25 and above to appeal to online shoppers looking to purchase items or gifts for their family and children.”

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
