Carousell and SPH Magazines partner up to create Singapore’s largest community marketplace for women

Singapore, 20 August 2013—Carousell has partnered with SPH Magazines to launch SheShops Marketplace, bringing over 200,000 fashion and beauty sales listings to readers of herworldPLUS and digital editions of selected magazines, including Her World.

Fashion and beauty listings created using the Carousell app will reach the combined audience of prospective buyers across both the Carousell marketplace and SheShops Marketplace, significantly increasing the likelihood of a successful sale for Carousell sellers.

The selling process, which allows the creation of a beautiful listing in just under a minute, remains seamless; sellers need not spare extra effort to enjoy the additional distribution.

The partnership will enrich the experience for herworldPLUS and digital magazine readers, as they can now shop from a huge variety of ladies’ apparel, shoes, bags and beauty products sold by members of the Carousell community at prices as much as 80% off retail price.

Niki Bruce, Editor of herworldPLUS, says: “I’m really excited about being able to offer herworldPLUS readers yet another reason to spend time on our site. Alongside the latest news and reviews of fashion and beauty brands and products, behind-the-scenes posts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram from the hottest events in Singapore and our up-to-the-minute info on the best places to shop, eat and enjoy yourself, our readers can now also shop on the spot!”

This gives us the flexibility to be creative with the kinds of solutions we can create with partners to benefit our users, and to innovate the selling process to make it a lot simpler. Our collaboration with SPH Magazines is a clear example.”

Joseph Lee, Managing Director of New Media at SPH Magazines, says: “We are constantly exploring ways to better engage our users and to provide them with enhanced experience when interacting with our digital properties. We are excited to partner Carousell for this initiative, as I am certain will allow our users greater access to the marketplace environment. Additionally, partnering promising startups like Carousell is our little way of showing support for our local technopreneurs.”
