When it comes to social interactions with friends and family or with your business associates, gifting has always been a custom to show gratitude, share the love and to be remembered. This year, things started to change from the first quarter of 2020 and we were forced by circumstances to stay at home and adapt to a new lifestyle. More things started getting done from home, through online platforms that you never heard of or tried before, since shops and establishments remained closed and inaccessible.
The number of digital consumers in Southeast Asia is expected to reach 310 million by this year-end, a number previously forecasted to be reached by 2025, according to a recent report by Facebook and Bain & Company. These consumers make up 69 per cent of the region’s population that is aged 15 and above. This means almost 70% of Southeast Asian consumers will go digital by the end of 2020. Due to social distancing measures, more people are adopting a home-centric lifestyle and shopping online for groceries, clothing, electronics, furnishings and such. We thought why not gifts? Lanos is an online platform that helps you to think and act differently, quickly and easily, to find unique & memorable gifts with a few clicks for next day delivery across Singapore.
