11street unveiled its online marketplace, www.11street.my, as the latest e-mall in Malaysia today. The online shopping platform was officially introduced and launched at NU Sentral Shopping Centre witnessed by His Excellency Cho Byungjae, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea.
First established in South Korea in 2008, 11street has grown and became one of the top global e-commerce marketplaces with 400,000 sellers serving over 30 million consumers worldwide. 11street also has presence in Turkey and Indonesia, known respectively as n11 and elevenia.
Chief Executive Officer, Hoseok Kim said that launching 11street in Malaysia is the company’s aspiration to offer a trustworthy and convenient online shopping platform for local consumers to shop for a great variety of quality products at competitive prices.
11street offers a wide selection of product categories such as Fashion, Electronics, Groceries, Health & Beauty, Kids & Baby, Leisure & Sports, Home & Living and Books & Services including e-vouchers.
Kim said, “With an established global presence, one of the key differentiators of 11street is a good mixture of local and global brands, whereby buyers can enjoy shopping for high quality products not only from local sellers but also from credible sellers worldwide.”
“We are committed to bring onboard the latest and the most popular products from the overseas markets, especially Korea and other Western countries, to enrich the local consumers’ shopping experience at competitive prices.”
11street Offers a Price Competitive and Trustworthy Online Shopping Experience as Differentiator
Kim further shared, “At 11street, we strive with our sellers to make price competitive deals for the benefit of the Malaysian consumers. We recognized that in recent times, local customers are hard-pressed due to a combined effect of the recent general price increases as well as the rising costs of living. ”
“To offer our customers a stress free and enriched shopping experience affordably, we will be the first online marketplace in Malaysia to offer lowest price guarantee under the ‘SHOCKING DEALS’ section of our service that will enable local customers to continue enjoy shopping while saving more.”
