    E-commerce in Emerging Markets The case of Zalora Indonesia Master thesis Cand.Merc.EBA. International Business (IBS) Copenhagen Business School, 2016 Hand in date: 17.05.2016 Supervisor: Troels Jakobsen Author: Anniken Døvle Number of pages: 77 Average number of characters per page: 2009 Executive summary E-commerce is a booming business, and not only in developed nations. Many emerging economies are experiencing shifts in consumer purchasing patterns from traditional shopping to online shopping. The evolving consumer also uses the Internet to stay connected and access information, increasing the need for companies to communicate with their customers online. This also applies for the leading online fashion retailer in Indonesia, Zalora. The purpose of this thesis is to propose an e-marketing plan for Zalora Indonesia, which can help them further their growth in the market. The e-marketing plan follows the SOSTAC structure, entailing a generation of a situation analysis, objectives, strategies, tactics and control, excluding actions based on the outsider perspective on the company. This e-marketing plan will attempt to figure out what factors stimulate or constrain the growth of Zalora Indonesia, and what e-marketing measures can be carried out to achieve growth in the Indonesian online fashion retail industry. The analysis showed that the Indonesian e-commerce market is still at a relatively nascent stage, where online retail only accounts for 0.6 percent of total retail. The e-commerce forecasts are, however, very promising, with an expected growth in online retail sales of around 60 percent. With Zalora being the largest online fashion retailer in Indonesia, their prospects are highly positive, as long as they optimize their e-marketing strategies.

  • Zalora's Secret to Success
    ZALORA’S SECRET TO SUCCESS: Delivering Outstanding Customer Experiences E-commerce has broadened the customer base for companies, but has also drastically increased customer expectations and competition. In a battle to become “the name” in online shopping, etailers have been fighting to differentiate themselves through a variety of methods, including prioritising the customer experience. Harry Markl, Managing Director at Zalora Group, Asia’s fastest growing fashion etailer, shares the secret behind their success. www.customerexperienceasia.com Delivering a great customer How do you define the best customer experience? experience starts with knowing Harry Markl: your customer. For an organisation like ours, delivering a great customer experience starts with knowing your customer, buying the right product for them and then having it delivered to the customer seamlessly. But even more than this, we want the customer to feel that even once they have received their product, that they can reach out and return it, hassle free, in case the product doesn’t fit or they simply don’t like it. Could you explain how Zalora puts this philosophy into practice? Harry Markl: The most important point is that the whole organisation, from the top management to the assistant in the warehouse, needs to be obsessed with delivering the best service day-in day-out. Every single step in the value chain matters. When I mentioned the importance of buying the right product, what I mean is buying the right assortment of products for our the target customer. This means that you don’t over purchase, which is especially important in e-commerce.

  • Zalora Soars, Overcoming SE Asian Fashion E-Tailing Hurdles
    Zalora soars, overcoming SE Asian fashion e-tailing hurdles asiacargobuzz.com/2019/06/21/zalora-excels-overcoming-se-asian-hurdles-of-fashion-e-tailing/ Donald Urquhart June 21, 2019 In 2012 when Kinnevik AB and Rocket Internet took online fashion retailer, Zalora, live in six Southeast Asian markets along with Hong Kong and Taiwan – the sceptics were rife. Who in most of these countries would buy online, what about supply chains, Customs issues? The sceptics’ questions were manifold and yes, largely valid. Fast forward to today, and while some sceptics remain – particularly given that the company, like many in the e-commerce space, has yet to turn a profit – the Zalora Group has clearly shown that in the incredible diversity that is Southeast Asia, there is also incredible opportunity if you can come to grips with the unique challenges of the region. Clearly Zalora has gotten a grip on this, with business growing at a rapid pace and all- important investors continuing to back the enterprise. In fact, the growth has led the company to expand its facilities, earlier this year inaugurating its new Regional e-Fulfillment Hub located in Selangor, Malaysia, just outside of Kuala Lumpur. Covering a total area of 43,660 sqm – approximately the size of nine FIFA football fields – and split across five levels, the e-Fulfillment Hub serves as the sole fulfillment centre for Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan and at the same time 1/13 provides stock support for the Philippines and Indonesia markets. “Zalora is gearing up for step-change in growth across its key markets including Malaysia over next three years with 40-60 per cent expected annual growth rate.
