Malaysia, July 1, 2024 – Federal Express Corporation, one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, today released two cross-border e-commerce handbooks to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating internationally better engage with consumers in China and Japan.
China and Japan are the biggest markets in the Asia Pacific region[1] with robust cross-border e-commerce activity, providing extensive business opportunities for SMEs. However, foreign merchants need to understand the unique digital landscape, consumer appetites, and logistics needs of each market to build a sustainable business model.
FedEx is fully embedded in the e-commerce ecosystems of China and Japan and has used its experience to develop the handbooks which are available for download from the FedEx website. Each e-book includes:
- A geographic overview of the consumer landscape to help e-tailers geotarget their businesses in places where potential buyers are most plentiful.
- The most important e-commerce product categories so SMEs can quickly understand where their biggest competition lies, and which sectors are underserved.
- Profiles of local e-commerce marketplaces and platforms where merchants can potentially mine for the most clicks.
- Consumer habits and preferences for marketing strategies like livestreaming, short video, and social commerce.
- Hot shopping seasons like Chinese Valentine’s Day, Singles Day, and Couples Day in China, along with the Oshougatsu New Year Holidays and Golden Week in Japan.
- Payment and delivery options and preferences.
“Finding new customers in international markets is a smart approach for SMEs wanting to drive consumer and revenue growth. Digital channels lower the barriers for market entry, but the best business strategies are underpinned by smart, local market insights. That’s critical in sectors like e-commerce which move incredibly quickly,” said Kawal Preet, president Asia Pacific, FedEx. “China and Japan are strategically important markets in the APAC region. We’ve built our local knowledge based on our decades-long operations, which is a critical component of the e-commerce experience. We’re also integrated in platforms and processes to provide a seamless experience for both merchants and consumers. That gives us a unique viewpoint on the latest local know-how to help e-tailers operate more effectively.”
FedEx provides end-to-end e-commerce solutions that make order fulfillment easy and efficient for merchants while providing convenience and reliability for people receiving deliveries. As well as integrating with the most trusted e-commerce marketplaces like eBay and BigCommerce, FedEx recently made time-saving enhancements to its Ship Manager platform so e-tailers can create shipments and paperwork directly from their online orders. FedEx also has a network of 260,000 smart lockers across the APAC region to provide convenience and options for consumers. Recipients can chat directly to FedEx about their deliveries on WeChat in China and WhatsApp outside of China, and can even change the delivery location once the shipment is on its way through FedEx Delivery Manager International.

Kuala Lumpur, 1 July 2024 — As part of its commitment to improve the overall well-being of Malaysians, premier health and wellness company, Herbalife successfully engaged more than 5,000 participants across the nation in its ground-breaking ‘Burn 1 Million Calories’ campaign, shedding over 2 million calories in total.
Throughout the month of June 2024, Malaysians came together to participate in this vibrant campaign, which included diverse activities designed to promote the goodness of an active lifestyle and good nutrition. From insightful health talks to engaging group workout sessions, nutrition booths and exciting lucky draws, Herbalife curated an array of events inspiring healthier living.
Held in Ipoh, Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu, Melaka, Muar, Batu Pahat, Johor Bahru, Miri, Sarikei and many more cities nationwide, the ‘Burn 1 Million Calories’ campaign’ wrapped up in Kuala Lumpur with over 2,000 participants on site, shedding more than 1 million calories in 3 hours. The campaign enabled Malaysians to partake in a variety of physical activities, including running, walking, cycling, swimming, Zumba and trampoline workouts. These activities were strategically planned to encourage widespread participation and demonstrate the fun and benefits of maintaining an active lifestyle.
Steven Chin, Senior Director/General Manager of Herbalife Malaysia and Singapore, said, “As the #1 brand in the world in weight management and wellbeing[1], we are committed to inspiring Malaysians to shape up, look and feel better as well as live their best lives. This initiative is especially timely, given the recent findings of the Ministry of Health’s National Health and Morbidity Survey 2023, which revealed that over half of Malaysians are obese or overweight (54.4%) and 49.9% lead sedentary lifestyles. Through these efforts, we aim to help address the rising rates of lifestyle-induced NCDs and obesity, demonstrating that achieving a healthier lifestyle is possible. Through a community-based approach, we aim to significantly amplify our impact across diverse communities nationwide.”
One of the participants of the Burn 1 Million Calories campaign, Mohamad Azrie Rosly, aged 33, commented, “Participating in the campaign has been an eye-opener. Activities like Zumba and kickboxing have transformed staying active into a fun and engaging experience, demonstrating that adopting a healthier lifestyle can be truly enjoyable. Taking a break from work to get active benefits my well-being, and also contributed to the collective goal of burning 1 million calories across Malaysia.”
The Burn 1 Million Calories campaign is a key component of Herbalife’s broader mission to foster a culture of health and wellness among Malaysians. The campaign ignited a nationwide movement, encouraging individuals and communities to strive towards a healthier society. With a strong foundation in science-backed nutrition and community wellness, Herbalife continues exploring innovative initiatives to support Malaysians’ health.
