East Coast Retail Powerhouse TMG Mart is now on Shopee

Shopee users can revel in the choice and variety increase of essentials and household products as TMG Mart is now exclusively on Shopee. The Malaysian-owned hypermarket aims to reach the growing proportion of online-first customers in the country after having successfully built a strong offline presence in the East Coast region. 

 

The decision to embark on this digital journey rides on the acceleration of e-commerce adoption as seen in recent months. Malaysians are placing greater reliance on e-commerce to get their daily essentials, groceries and other necessities.

Chin Poh Ling, Head of Marketing of Tunas Manja Sdn Bhd said that the company is excited to be venturing into the digital market as they transform their business model to diversify trade channels. “Online shopping is now part of the landscape in the Malaysian retail scene. If we want to continue thriving in this competitive environment, we have to digitize. We are happy that through our collaboration with Shopee, TMG Mart is now able to service our customers better online.”

TMG Mart today has more than 61 outlets in Pahang, Terengganu, Kelantan, Johor, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan. The hypermarket’s most recent offer – TMG Plus @ Andorra Peak in Kuantan, aims to rejuvenate the retail scene and improve the shopping experience of grocery shoppers in the East Coast. 

Opening a store on Shopee allows TMG Mart to offer online-first customers the same attractive deals and offerings as those who visit the hypermarket chain’s physical stores. Consumers across the country can enjoy low prices on a wide assortment of over 2,000 items such as food staples, cooking ingredients, household supplies, personal care and baby products.

Chin added that the move to join Shopee is part of the company’s ambitious plans to keep growing and expanding their brand. “We are constantly looking to scale greater heights. Seeing that our online store also allows us to reach out to more customers across Malaysia, we are excited for this opportunity to have more Malaysians to get to know us better.”

To celebrate its official launch on Shopee, TMG Mart is offering a plethora of great deals for users to enjoy: discounts up to 90% as well as 7% off with a minimum spend of RM40 (capped at RM3) and 10% off with a minimum spend of RM60 (capped at RM6) in-store vouchers.

ASCENSIA AND ALPRO PHARMACY FIRST-IN-KIND DIABETES MANAGEMENT SUBSCRIPTION PLAN

In addressing the need for greater affordability and accessibility in managing diabetes, Ascensia Diabetes Care (Ascensia), together with Alpro Pharmacy, a home grown retail pharmacy chain in Malaysia, today launched sugO365, a first-of-its-kind diabetes subscription plan in Malaysia.  

sugO365, which was conceptualised by a group of highly-trained and visionary individuals from Malaysia’s health care industry, is an innovative platform that allows Malaysians living with diabetes the ability to manage and learn how to manage their diabetes effectively through the use of digital technology. 

Speaking at the launch of sugO365, Maximillian Lim, Managing Director of Ascensia Diabetes Care Malaysia, said, “Self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) is undeniably an important aspect for those living with diabetes. As the world’s leading diabetes care solutions provider, we are committed to simplify the lives of people with diabetes, empowering them to take charge of their health. With sugO365, they can focus on what matters the most: their diabetes control.” 

According to Lim, Ascensia recently spearheaded a grassroots diabetes survey that found that those living with diabetes are discouraged from performing appropriate self-monitoring blood glucose because of the cost. The survey also found that over 50% of the diabetic respondents believe that the primary responsibility of diabetes management is very much a doctor’s duty, not the patients. 

“We believe that the subscription plan will address the issue of affordability and accessibility to timely and accurate information. With that, we hope to empower people with diabetes to take charge of their diabetes,"Lim said.sugO365 comes in four different plans-sugO Trial, sugOVIP, sugO COMBO and sugOMAX, exclusive for diabetes mellitus type 1 patient. Upon signing up,subscribers will be given a free COUNTOUR®PLUS ONE Blood Glucose Monitoring System. The device is wireless-enabled with Bluetooth® connectivity and can seamlessly connect to the mobile app on a smartphone.The app collects, stores and analyses the subscriber’s blood glucose readings in real-time. Through this easy-to-use app, the subscriber will have a better understanding of how their daily activities affect their blood glucose results that may impact their diabetes management. 

Subscribers will get personalized care from Alpro Pharmacy’s certified health care professionals, including pharmacists, nutritionists and dieticians, through LIVE chat and face-to-face consultation. There will also be webinar and diabetes health tips available. According to Ph. Lee Yin Chen, Branding, Promotion and Trade Marketing Director from Alpro Pharmacy,the American Diabetes Association® (ADA) estimated that the medical cost for a person living with diabetes is approximately RM71,000 ($16,750) per year and of that amount RM4,100 ($9,601) is attributed to diabetes treatment. This is more than twice the medical cost for those without diabetes.“With sugO365, we can help to relieve the burden on patients who are faced with high diabetes expenses. Most importantly, they will get to access to accurate information at their fingertips.”

“Moving forward, both Ascensia and Alpro will continue to bring about more features to this subscription plan. Our ultimate goal is to encourage Malaysians to take charge of their own livesand encourage their loved ones to do the same,” he concluded. 

SugOVIP, the most comprehensive plan, is priced at RM360 onwards for one year and is available to all members of Alpro Pharmacy. In conjunction with the launch of sugO365, customers of Alpro Pharmacy who have successfully purchased MSIG Gluco SafeGuard Insurance during the campaign period will be entitled to a complimentary sugO VIP package worth RM360.00.
