 Lazada Philippines, a part of Lazada Group which operates Southeast Asia’s number one online shopping and selling destination, is celebrating its third anniversary this month with three days of sales from 24 to 26 March.
 
Lazada Group has seen rapid growth since its launch in March 2012. The company now has over 4,000 employees across the region and has raised approximately EUR 520 million in funding from leading sector specialists and investors including Temasek, Tesco, JP Morgan, Kinnevik and Rocket Internet, among others. 
 
In December 2014, Lazada Group’s GMV exceeded US$70 million, supported by the success of the month-long Online Revolution campaign which kicks off annually on 11 November. Its sites and mobile applications saw over 40 million unique visitors during the month of December. This performance is testament to the company’s focus on delivering an effortless, secure and reliable one-stop shopping experience for its customers.
 
Lazada Group’s growth is also a result of its rapid assortment expansion driven by its unique position to provide brands and merchants simple, fast and direct access to approximately 550 million consumers in six countries through one retail channel. The number of sellers on the marketplace platform, which now accounts for approximately 75% of overall sales, crossed 10,000 in December 2014.
 
Addressing the logistical challenges in the region, Lazada Group is investing heavily to develop its infrastructure. The company now has eight warehouses and a dedicated Lazada Express last mile delivery fleet with 50 hubs covering 80 cities. In addition, Lazada Group has partnered with 60 express transport and courier companies across the region to provide customers with quick and reliable delivery.
 
“We are delighted to be celebrating our third year of rapid growth this month. Looking ahead, Lazada will continue to focus on increasing its assortment range, expand our logistics infrastructure and payment solutions to further enhance the effortless shopping experience for our customers,” says Inanc Balci, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Lazada Philippines.
 
Lazada.com.ph has been growing in line with the group and received 18 million visits in December 2014. By continuing to focus on developing the marketplace platform to support brands and merchants, the company reached more than 1,600 sellers by the end February 2015, who were supported by 1500 employees.

About Claude Monet

Claude Monet as everyone knows, was primarily a landscape painter. But early in his career, he painted portraits, still life and interiors which showed amazing art style in these type of images.
He simply preferred landscapes, and bodies of water in particular, first the seacoast, then the Seine River, and finally the pond in his garden at Giverny. Monet, Renoir, and by this time Pissaro, Morisot, Sisley, Bazille, Cezanne and other artists are joining together in their new vision of painting. Monet’s landscapes, however, although freshly and boldly painted, had not been far from the officially accepted rules of painting.

History


AHMGI began with the opening of its flagship property, Le Monet, in Baguio 2012, which soon built up an enviable reputation for luxurious service and artistic themed functions. Since Le Monet Hotel was already a legendary property and acknowledged as one of Baguio’s great hotels, Stern Real Estate Development Corp. (SREDC), the property developer, decided to appoint AHMGI as Hotel Rembrandt’s management, and continue its development and reinvent its strong image of spectacular hospitality. SREDC is incorporated in Manila which holds various businesses that expands from real estate, hospitality to commerce.
In 2013, Stern Real Estate Development Corp. (SREDC) extended their hotel properties through the acquisition of a 100% percent interest in a heritage Vigan property which is now Hotel Luna. SREDC rationalized its corporate structure by combining two prestigious properties under a common management group, ArtStream Hospitality Management Group, Inc. (AHMGI). The ArtStream Hospitality Management Group, Inc. decided to expand their hotel management expertise in Vigan City where they can combine heritage, hospitality and art as a perfect trifecta and floated the conversion of the Dona Carmen Florentino House into a hotel structure.
AHMGI’s express aim was, and still is, to concentrate on the development and operation of first class city and destination hotels nationwide.
