Most sellers on Shopee have not maximised the full potential of all the marketing tools available inside their Shopee Marketing Centre. A common reason for this is because they aren’t sure how each of the tools can help them.
Although using them may add to your overall cost of selling on Shopee, the ROI can be worth it.
What are the Marketing Tools Available in Shopee Marketing Centre?
At the time of writing, there are a total of 12 tools inside Shopee’s Marketing Centre:
Vouchers
Vouchers can help increase sales by reducing the cost of purchase. They are the oldest promotional tools in the book.
Inside the Marketing Centre, you can create vouchers that can be used shop-wide, or specific to selected products.
These vouchers can take the form of:
- Fixed amount discounts
- Percentage discounts
- Coins cash back

Shocking Sales activate a buying frenzy by using the combination of a time-urgency and unbelievable prices.
When a buyer arrives at your Shopee store, they might be tempted to buy products from your shocking sales section with urgency, increasing sales.
