Malaysian fashion goes global with eBay

eBay, the world’s largest online shopping community, has collaborated with the Malaysian International Fashion Alliance (Mifa) to take homegrown fashion labels to a global audience.

Participating in this year’s Malaysia International Fashion Week (M-IFW) as Official Online Partner, eBay Malaysia has created a microsite where local established designers from the annual event will be featured.

Shoppers can now log on to www.ebay.com.my/fashion and gain access to the latest designs from Asian Atelier by Alin Anuar, Eric Choong, Eclipse, Gallo by Thian, KN Key Ng, Nurita Harith, Stud, Tangoo, Tom Abang Saufi and William Liew.

The inaugural collaboration with Mifa is the latest effort by eBay Malaysia in forming valuable partnerships with key industry participants to extend the benefits of e-commerce.

Fashion is one of the most popular categories on eBay Malaysia — about 438 items of clothing and accessory items are sold everyday.

Allis Ghim, the eBay director who oversees South-East Asia, said: “With an apparel business approaching US$5bil (RM17bil) annually and 89 million active users worldwide, eBay is thrilled to present to the participating M-IFW ‘09 designers a new and innovative sales channel in today’s competitive retail environment.”

“Though their online eBay stores, with listings on international sites such as eBay.com, eBay.co.uk or eBay.com.au, the designers will be able to reach a broader international audience in a low cost and effective way,” he said.

Syeba Yip, Mifa’s chief executive officer, said: “M-IFW ’09 is aimed at elevating and positioning Malaysia as an influential player in the global fashion scene.

“In recognition of the increasing importance and value that e-commerce brings, we are pleased to team up with eBay to provide a platform for top Malaysian designers to showcase their products and take their businesses online.”

Wan Norma Wan Daud, director of product section at the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade) said: “The partnership between eBay and Mifa is timely, particularly in the current economic climate.

“With eBay, some of Malaysia’s finest fashion labels will be able to gain international exposure while expanding their sales channels beyond Malaysia to the world.”

Matrade is Malaysia’s national trade promotion agency.

How to prepare for Google's updated algorithm

On Aug. 10, Google announced Caffeine, suggesting a shift in the Google algorithm. Matt Cutts, the head of Google's webspam team, indicated Caffeine is basically a rewrite of the search index, roughly comparable to the Big Daddy upgrade of 2005-2006.

The once hush-hush project is supposed to revitalize the Google algorithm to provide users with a better search experience. The official word is that the update is "the first step in a process that will let us push the envelope on size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness, and other dimensions."

Based on that, it sounds like we'll get faster indexing speeds, with more pages indexed and a more comprehensive search results page -- necessary advances as the web becomes more unwieldy. For search marketers, it means more competition for single, generic-type keywords, less stability of rankings, and an increased focus on long-tail keywords as they become more relevant to sales conversions.

That's all good news if your website is well ranked for your best keywords. If not, it's time to optimize now. Make sure your site conforms to Google's new infrastructure to avoid any loss of rankings.

Penang USM "Techoprenuership Talk"

I was invited by Penang USM last week "Techoprenuership Talk". It is an honor for me to share my experience & knowledge to the young graduate how they can use Internet Marketing to start an online business from home while still studying.

Practical skills is crucial when you are looking for employment. What this graduate learned about online marketing is purely from the text book. Theory and Practical is a totally different learning experiences.

Text book might look 100% perfect strategy with minimum risk. While when you pratices it on the real world, it might not the case. You will face a lot of challenges and obstacle.

I totally believe our education system should emphasis more on practical training rather from the text book. This will definitely add advantages to the young graduate when they are looking for employment in future.

Since the world economy is under recession, the worst since 1930 great depression. It is not easy to look for employment at this moment. Thus, it is good for the University graduate to learn the internet skills and make some pocket money online.

My next challenge is to share my internet knowledge & experience to other higher education in Malaysia.

Again, thank for USM lecturer for their kind assistance.

Cheer!
