Through trusted partnerships with healthcare professionals, Galderma ensures to meet individual consumer and patient needs with superior outcomes and offers cutting-edge, premium brands that fit people's individual needs, across the full spectrum of dermatology through aesthetics, consumer care, and prescription medications.

As the market leader in the Philippine-derived derived Sensitive Skincare Market, its leading Consumer brand, Cetaphil was eyeing a move online. In addition to its range of classic best-sellers, including the cult-favorite Gentle Skin Cleanser, Cetaphil has introduced new ranges in recent years, including Cetaphil Baby, and Cetaphil Pro AD Derma, and Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance which was launched at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the emerging consumer trend for science-driven skincare, Galderma knew the potential of expanding its reach and introducing its brand benefits to a broader audience.

E-commerce Market Entry

Galderma was determined to establish a presence in the newly minted playground, that is e-commerce. The opportunity presented itself when COVID-19 hit. E-commerce boomed and became a significant priority for the group's strategy. Being the market leader for sensitive skincare in the offline retail space, Galderma was determined also to secure its top position in the online marketplace leaderboards.

The Challenge

Galderma identified the strong presence of competition in the online market, and specifically in the online marketplaces such as Lazada, Shopee, and Zalora.

The group's competitors have been in e-commerce for a number of years now and knew how to operate in an online environment and win the market. This means that Galderma needed a rapid go-to-market strategy with the accumulated know-how and technology to utilize the major market shift.

Choosing aCommerce

aCommerce account management team was able to recognize a gap in the market and developed an innovative approach to enter a highly saturated market.

Galderma entered a client partnership agreement with aCommerce for end-to-end services including e-commerce platform design and development, performance marketing, order fulfillment and warehousing, delivery and logistics, customer service call centers, creative production, marketing planning, and strategy, and channel management.

With aCommerce as the largest end-to-end e-commerce enabler in the region, processes are more streamlined, reducing long-term unit costs operating under the economies of scale principle.

aCommerce team started formulating Galderma's strategy on multiple channels such as Lazada, Shopee, Zalora, Edamama, and now expanding outright services to Grab.

The Strategy

Using keyword and search data, aCommerce team analysis of the market has shown that consumers are shifting towards dermatologically-backed, and science-driven products in the skincare industry, where consumers are increasingly well informed and constantly looking for each and every ingredient in the product.

The online consumers are very well aware of ingredients and their benefits – and aCommerce team highlighted Galderma's quality ingredients and supporting science in each campaign, assets, search ads, and throughout the brand's online presence. While focusing on educating consumers about Galderma's benefits, the team knew how to balance the premium brand positioning of Galderma together with the marketplaces promo-driven audience and created a strategy that complemented the brand's position in the market.

Collaboration, Technology, and Creative Thinking

Data presented by aCommerce allowed Galderma to execute bundling and sampling strategies shifting assortments that started with 50+ SKUs to a selection that is growing by the day.

Using the analytics on consumer behavior, the team analysis detected that consumers usually purchase specific items together, allowing the team to respond quickly to the shifting demands by creating the right bundles.

Success and Achievements

aCommerce team achieved success utilizing extensive market experience working with the top brands from various industries, relationships with the platforms and marketplaces, understanding of the market, the focus on innovating our systems and technologies, and a dedicated team that embodies the aCommerce DNA.

aCommerce (SET: ACOM) revolutionized e-commerce enablement with a cutting-edge platform & technology stack, EcommerceIQ. Proprietary software includes innovative omnichannel management software.

Taking the Scary Out of Halloween Animals

NEW YORK, Oct 7, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Is there any other holiday that has more animals associated with it than Halloween?

Plus, each Yowie features an endangered animal collectible inside and a bite-size leaflet to help kids learn about that animal.

All are endangered, and all could be considered scary, but we've focused on their superpowers in our newest collection. This bright blue tarantula has hypersensitive hairs, the red-eyed snake's infrared vision helps it hunt, and the bat's ultrasonic calls can't be heard by humans.

Summary Points:

– ECommerce Holding Company. Society Pass is an acquisition-focused eCommerce holding company operating six interconnected verticals in loyalty, lifestyle, food and beverage, telecoms, digital media, and travel, connecting millions of registered consumers and thousands of registered merchants in Southeast Asia. The company has on-boarded more than 3.3 million registered consumers and over 200K registered merchants and brands. The company generated $520K of sales in 2021, with a revenue forecast of $9.5 million for 2022 and $42.7 million for 2023.

– Seasoned and Diverse Executive Team. The company is led by a team of seasoned Asia-based executives who have spent a total of over 150 years on the ground in Asia with operating, marketing, technology and financial experience there. Society Pass is the sixth company that Dennis Nguyen, Group Founder, Chairman and CEO, has taken public. Over half the executives and employees are female. The company's board of directors brings diverse experiences from technology to finance, to legal, to investment banking/private equity. The company has built a sophisticated technology platform in four years and on-boarded over 3.3 million registered consumers and over 200k registered merchants/brands.

– Integrated Ecosystem. Society Pass acquires companies in targeted verticals, which include lifestyle, food and beverage delivery, travel, digital media, telecommunications, and loyalty. In the lifestyle vertical, the company acquired Leflair in February 2021 and relaunched in the Vietnamese marketplace in September 2021. In food and beverage delivery, the company acquired Pushkart and Handycart in February 2022 and Mangan in July 2022. In July 2022, the company acquired Thoughtful Media, a Thailand-based digital media company. In August 2022, the company acquired NusaTrip, an Indonesia-based leading Southeast Asia OTA. The business model is to acquire companies in targeted verticals and integrate them into the platform.

– Society Points. A Virtuous Cycle of Revenue Generation and Loyalty Creation in SEA. The company opportunistically acquires attractively valued companies to synergistically generate additional revenue streams, optimize efficiencies for merchants, and more cost-effectively aggregate consumers and merchants through synchronized marketing campaigns. The company's loyalty platform, Society Points, drives this revenue generation and loyalty creation processes. The company has launched a beta version of the Society Pass app in June 2022 and expects to fully launch the app in 1Q 2023.

– Strategies for Digital Commerce in Asia/Pacific. Southeast Asia's digital commerce revenue is expected to reach a 10-year CAGR of 32% by 2025. Business unit leaders, like Society Pass, carefully select their markets. Based on industry estimates, the expected growth of consumer spending on digital commerce for the Southeast Asian region will exceed $88 billion by 2025. This comes from a low penetration of the total retail market. Southeast Asia presents attractive growth opportunities and challenges for SoPa.

– Growth Strategies. As the company continues to acquire e-commerce platforms and apps in Southeast Asia, it should dramatically increase its revenue base, registered customer base, and registered merchant base. The company beta-launched its Society Pass loyalty platform in the second quarter 2022. The company is constantly upgrading its HR talent, especially identifying and mentoring female executives. It has built a powerful and integrated technology ecosystem targeting Southeast Asia, and operates in three of the world's most attractive and fast-growing economies. Its senior executives have spent most of their lives in Southeast Asia running companies.

– Valuation. Think Equity's 12-month price target is $6, based on 3.9x FY23 sales per share estimate.

– Solid Financials. As of June 30, 2022, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $28 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the company's stockholders' equity was $35 million.
