Unilever and Shopee #BeautyThatCares August 19 to 31 SALE
Five months into the lockdown caused by the pandemic have affected most livelihoods in the country. The Philippine economy shrunk by 16.5% in the second quarter of this year, and we have seen several of our favorite local businesses reduce in size or even close their doors permanently or temporarily, as a harsh result of the pandemic.
Unilever and Shopee are teaming up again for the annual #BeautyThatCares sale to help small local businesses who are affected by the pandemic. While you get to add heart to cart and avail of up to 70% off on your favorite Unilever Beauty and Personal Care products on Shopee this August 29–31, a portion of the proceeds will go directly to Mano Amiga’s Skills for Success Grant and Training Program.
An organization that aims to empower people and communities through education and development initiatives, Mano Amiga set up this program to help microentrepreneurs, such as sari-sari store owners and online sellers, to start, sustain or scale their business. Through a monetary grant to get them the necessary funding, and training courses focused on essentials of entrepreneurship, online selling and finance, the organization aims to support small local businesses and to help them get back on their feet in the new normal.
Small businesses covered by Mano Amiga’s program will also be given the opportunity to expand their trade online. As a partner for the #BeautyThatCares campaign, Shopee will onboard these small businesses onto their platform as marketplace sellers which will empower them with more sales and growth opportunities, reduce their operational costs and reach new customers.
“Our purpose is to create a positive impact for the people, for the planet and for the society. With the ongoing health crisis, we’d like to do our part to help fellow Filipinos who have been most affected, particularly small businesses struggling to keep afloat. We are bringing back the #BeautyThatCares sale this year, focusing our efforts on helping them,” says Dorothy Dee-Ching, Unilever Philippines’ Vice President for Beauty and Personal Care. “We are so thankful Shopee has once again partnered with us for this initiative, and we are enjoining Filipinos to take part in the sale for the benefit of Mano Amiga’s communities.”
Ruoshan Tao, Head of Marketing at Shopee Philippines, adds, “We are excited to partner with Unilever to help small business owners get by during this challenging time. The #BeautyThatCares Campaign is in line with Shopee's goal of helping MSMEs rebuild and grow their businesses online through education and development programs. Shopee will continue to partner with different brands to support, uplift, and encourage Filipino small businesses.”
