FAQs: B2C Customer Acquisition

  • Social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok dominate across markets.

  • Messaging apps: LINE (Thailand), WhatsApp (Indonesia), Zalo (Vietnam).

  • Marketplaces: Lazada, Shopee, Tokopedia are key for e-commerce acquisition.

  • Influencers & KOLs: Local creators drive faster trust than global campaigns.
    Performance marketing works, but localized content and partnerships are the growth levers.

SEA consumers are mobile-first and price-sensitive. Flash sales, gamified experiences, and installment payment options strongly influence conversion. Trust is built through reviews, influencer endorsements, and COD (cash on delivery) options. Companies must balance aspirational branding with affordability.

Localization is more than translation. Campaigns should:

  • Use local celebrities or KOLs.

  • Incorporate festivals and shopping holidays (e.g., 11.11, Songkran, Ramadan).

  • Adapt payment options (COD, e-wallets).

  • Price-test for affordability tiers rather than applying global benchmarks.

  • Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) relative to ARPU (average revenue per user).

  • App installs → active users conversion (mobile-first markets).

  • Retention rates after 30/90 days (stickiness).

  • Market share on local platforms (Shopee, Lazada).
    These KPIs must be tracked market by market, since behavior varies.

Startups should use paid campaigns to gain quick visibility but focus on organic levers like referral programs, community building, and social commerce. Many SEA success stories (e.g., Grab, Shopee) scaled through viral referral incentives and partnership bundles with telcos, banks, and e-wallets.
