MayDay Madness 2015 to Be Held Soon

MayDay Madness 2015, which will last from May 1 to May 7, 2015, will soon be held to satisfy the crave of those online shoppers. There are 48 e-commerce players have confirmed that they’d take part in the festival which is dedicated to commemorate the National Labor Day.

Various special promo will be there for Indonesians to enjoy. This event is a follow up from last year’s successful Online Shopping Festival 2014 which was held from November 25, 2014 to December 5, 2014 and featured no less than 28 e-commerce players.

Here is the best part, the discount will be so special that it would be up to 95 percent.

The event’s noble mission is to educate people who have yet made any single online transaction so far, as well as ensure them that online shopping has never been as secure and convenient as it is today.

This mission is carried on by those participating in the event. While providing special promo, the e-commerce players agreed to serve something else to spoil their customers. Building the people’s trust will be their main objective.

Educating people is indeed a fundamental point in the midst of the vast growing e-commerce industry in Indonesia. In 2014, there was up to 45% of growth in Indonesia, dominated by the B2C market.

Even though the people’s enthusiasm isn’t as remarkable as it is on the National Online Shopping Day which is held every December 12, the industry may make use of this moment to broaden the market as well as create the identity of e-commerce.

It would really take quite an effort to achieve the forementioned mission. So far, online shopping has yet been that popular in Indonesia, as numerous issues like security, convenience, and trust are still in the way.
