Focus on High Margin, Long-tail Categories
•
Shopee's strength is in the long-tail, high SKU categories of Fashion, Beauty & Home Décor.
•
These categories fit well with a C2C model, due to the diversity of supply-side offerings.
Category margins tend to be much higher too (for example, Fashion and Beauty generally carry ~50-70% value chain
margins). One evidence of this is Tmall's higher take-rates on these verticals, which we believe is a good Shopee proxy.
Fashion and Beauty tend to have higher order frequency rates too, with Shopee at ~3.6x orders per month, Taobao at ~4-5x per
month, etc. This compares to Electronics retailers, where order frequency can be as low as 0.2x orders per month (albeit on a
much higher Average Order Value each time).
"One of the ways we do that is we look for services that attract a lot of young female users initially. It's a service that could make sense for a whole lot of
people, but for whatever reason, the initial user base is young and female. We think that young women are the early adopters of popular culture. They're kind
of hit-makers for the rest of society." - Jeremy Liew, Lightspeed Venture Partners
