Ramadan is becoming one of the biggest online shopping seasons in Indonesia. According to the browsing behavior of Opera Mini users in Indonesia, page views of shopping sites increased by 69% at the beginning of Ramadan this year, compared to the same period in 2015. Google also recently shared data from last year’s Ramadan that indicates a significant spike in shopping categories such as Apparel (29%), Travel (30%), Smartphone (17%), Telecommunication (19%) and Consumer Electronics (24%).
“We are always looking for new ways to engage and thank our fans,” says Growth Director Asia at Opera, Ivollex Hodiny. “We jumped at the opportunity to take part in Harboldan, because we knew right away that this is the best way to connect with our fans and users, and to celebrate this holiday season together.”
E-commerce sites increase online traffic
More than 30 e-commerce players are taking part in this year’s Harboldan. Several big names in Indonesian e-commerce industry, such as MatahariMall, Lazada and Zalora, are scheduled to slash prices on items across various shopping categories. While there has been an overall increase in online traffic and sales during the first couple of weeks, e-commerce players believe that the Ramadan shopping season will continue growing, reaching its peak at Harboldan on June 24.
“We had a great first couple of weeks this Ramadan season,” explains Hadi Wenas, CEO of MatahariMall. “We managed to triple our average daily online sales and grew the average daily visits five-fold. However, we are confident that Harboldan will produce even more fantastic numbers for MatahariMall.”
