Over in the Goody Feed office, one of my colleagues would sometimes look very serious as she stares intently at her laptop and her watch. I’ve always thought she was merely focusing on pushing time-sensitive content out for one of our clients…but later, I realised she was actually waiting intently for an online flash sale to occur.
Because waiting outside a retail shop for a sale is so yesterday. Now, a flash sale occurs online, and in this latest one, it occurs right in your phone.
On 3 March 2017 and 4 March 2017, Shopee, an m-commerce platform, is organising a 2-day flash sale, aptly named “March Madness 2-day Flash Sale”. There’ll be up to 80% off in all categories: from beauty and fashion products for the ladies, and gadgets for the guys. There’s even a special category, a “March Deals Under $10” category because #MarchMadness
If you’re new to Shopee (why, why, why?!), you can simply download the app here (Android or iOS) and begin shopping. Think of it as a shopping mall right inside your phone—because who else still feed their retail therapy in physical shopping malls?
The flash sale starts from 12:00 a.m. on 3 March 2017, so remember to camp in the app from 11:45 p.m. on 2 March 2017. Thank God you won’t have to do it right in front of your boss, eh?
Here’re some of the selected deals that’ll convince you to stop your Netflix for a while and focus on the flash sale this Friday morning:
IF Local Sensation Coconut Water (24 Bottles) (56% Off)
Date of Deal: 3 March 2017 (Friday), 12:00 a.m.
Original Price: $33.80
Discounted Price: $14.90
Now, read this: “A 350ml coconut water at just $0.60.” Read it aloud. Louder. Have you caught the attention of the people around you? Are they screaming like fangirls now? Yes, it’s just so darn cheap.
In case you’ve not been sunk into the coconut water trend, here’s what you should know: it’s low-calorie (and it’s $0.60), it slows down aging (and it’s $0.60), it promotes weight loss (and it’s $0.60) and it lowers blood pressure (and it’s $0.60). Did I also mention that it’s $0.60 per bottle when originally, it’s at $1.40?
Oral-B Advance Power Electric Toothbrush (62% Off)
Date of Deal: 3 March 2017 (Friday), 12:00 a.m.
Original Price: $25.90
Discounted Price: $9.90
Let’s face it: we dread brushing our teeth in the morning because we don’t even have the energy to walk to the sink, what’s more to move our hand repeatedly. That’s when an electric toothbrush comes in handy – you just need to put it into your mouth, and you can continue your dreams as the toothbrush does the work for you.
At 63% off, and costing less than $10, this might just convince you to switch to an electric toothbrush – if you haven’t, that is.
Nature Lash Conditioning Serum Ex (27% Off)
Date of Deal: 3 March 2017 (Friday), 12:00 a.m.
Original Price: $25.90
Discounted Price: $18.90
Recommended in the highly popular Taiwanese show 女人我最大, this miracle product helps to grow your eyelashes and thicken your eyebrows all at once, and makes you stand out from the crowd! It uses a non-irritating formula and only needs to be applied once or twice daily.
At $18.90, this is one heck of a steal, and is one hack to a pair of eyes that smile!
Pullman® Turbo Force (48% Off)
Date of Deal: 3 March 2017 (Friday), 12:00 a.m.
Original Price: $58.00
Discounted Price: $29.90
This, well, isn’t just a fan: it’s a machine that can magically cool your surrounding. Known more aptly as an air circulator fan, it’s both an efficient and effective way to stay cool in our hot Singapore.
And it looks nice, isn’t it? The image has already shown you how stylo-milo it looks; you can see it as an affordable alternative to an air-con, a fan and a decorative light. For $29.90, you’re definitely getting a bang for the buck. I haven’t even mentioned about the lower electricity bills you’ll be receiving soon!
Now, before you lepak one corner and think, Alamak, later than download Shopee lah, here’s the thing: in the past, whenever there’s a flash sale, they’ll be sold out relatively fast. So here’s one advice: go download it now (Android or iOS), and set an alarm to remind yourself about the sale.
