KUALA LUMPUR, April 12 — Lazada Malaysia will hold a month-long online food festival, “Lazat Bazaar”, beginning tomorrow (April 13) until May 13, in conjunction with Ramadan.
In a statement today, the company said the online food festival is to support local small Ramadan traders by bringing them online, besides offering eCommerce shoppers authentic delicacies, fresh groceries and more.
Lazada’s head of traffic, Susan Too noted that many bazaar sellers and traders who rely on the Ramadan period to sustain their livelihoods have been worrying about the potential loss in sales due to the ongoing pandemic.
“Through the Lazat Bazaar, we aim to ease their hardships by bringing them online and supporting them with exposure and traffic on our eCommerce platform. The initiative will not only help to sustain, but also enable their businesses to grow this year,” she said.
Lazada will support these local Ramadan bazaar merchants to better serve their customers through its vast logistics network by offering same-day deliveries.
From April 13 until May 13, all cooked-to-order purchases made on the online bazaar before 4 pm will be delivered within the same day by 7 pm. Hot meals and baked goods ordered after 4 pm will be prepared and fulfilled the next day.
Lazada will also offer same-day deliveries for hot meals and freshly baked goods from local favourite stalls and markets in selected areas across Klang Valley.
