This online shopping festival is your ticket out of the holiday shopping stress

We know you’re looking forward to the end of the year, but this early, you may also already be dreading the shopping, which we all know gets pretty intense here in the Philippines. The answer to your worries may come in the form of ShopFest, a four-month long shopping festival which caters to your holiday shopping needs. Committed to making shopping more affordable and convenient for Filipino customers, they offer amazing vouchers, promotions and cashbacks so you can get the best bang for your buck.

“Christmas countdown starts in September for all Filipinos and that’s the main driving force for us to spend during the year-end period,” shared Mr. Prashant Kala, Country Head of ShopBack Philippines. “With this consumer insight in mind, we set out to construct a meaningful platform that efficiently connects both retailers and shoppers for the year-end period when shoppers are prepared to spend in preparation for the most important festive season of the year.”

With over 300 stores participating, all your needs—from grocery shopping, health and beauty, to travel needs and dining—will be covered. Having established itself as one of the top players in the e-commerce cashback market in Southeast Asia, with presence in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan and most recently, Australia, you’ll also be glad to hear that locally, they have partnered with retailers you’re familiar with, such as Booking.com, Lazada, Traveloka, foodpanda.

The festival has already started, and will end on Jan. 3. For more information, you can visit their website, or follow them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. They also have a free app on App Store and Google Play Store, so go check that out.
