Massage devices have become increasingly popular in Singapore. With the fast-paced and stressful lifestyle that many Singaporeans lead, these devices provide a convenient and accessible way to relax and ease muscle tension. While there is a wide range of options available on the market, finding a high-quality device that won’t break the bank isn’t easy. This is where Snailax comes in.
With the vision to offer superior healthcare devices at affordable prices, Snailax invests extensively in research and development to provide comfortable, customisable massage knobs suitable for all.
To leverage the growing demand for such massagers amidst the pandemic, Snailax decided to venture into the world of e-commerce through Amazon.sg. Since selling on Amazon.sg, Snailax has seen a growth in the number of first-time customers, impressions and sales.

What made you decide to sell on Amazon Singapore?
In April 2020, during the circuit breaker in Singapore, we saw an increasing demand for wellness treatments with more people facing aches and pains working from home. Despite not having any prior online selling experience, Amazon Singapore was one of the first online stores we ventured into.
We knew that Amazon Singapore had a strong brand presence, with thousands of customers shopping online, especially during Prime Day and Black Friday Cyber Monday (BFCM), we wanted to be present during these times.

"We knew that we had the potential to scale globally through Amazon Singapore so starting our store on Amazon.sg was a no-brainer for us."

What was your journey on Amazon.sg like and how did you build up your presence and product? How did the Amazon team support you?
Since we started selling on Amazon.sg, our account manager has been true partners in helping us scale our operations. For example, they have helped with our product listings, inventories and fulfillment recommendations.
Moreover, since we set up our store, we’ve always leveraged Amazon’s major sales events like Prime Day and BFCM. During these sales events, we work closely with our account manager on inventory and campaign preparations.
We also used Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) to streamline our fulfillment. With FBA, all we need to do is send our products to Amazon's Fulfillment Centre, and Amazon helps with the picking, packing, and shipping of the order. Amazon also provides customer service and process any returns so we have time to focus on growing our sales, especially during major sales events.

Can you tell us about how you work with the Amazon ads team to prepare for sales events like Prime Day and BFCM? And what were some of the early successes you saw?
We amplified our always-on approach by investing in Amazon ads, specifically Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display. We saw a 90 times return on ad investment during Amazon’s major sales events like Prime Day and BFCM, and saw consistent performance during off-peak seasonal campaigns.
Adding Sponsored Display into our ad product mix helped us build awareness and consideration with our customers. Interestingly, we saw an 81% jump in impressions month-on-month and a 30% increase in first-time shoppers, which was the highlight for us.
