And there\u2019s no better market to explore than Singapore: High-spending, culturally connected, and ready for what Malaysian brands have to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we surveyed 1,200 online shoppers across Southeast Asia, Singaporeans stood out. <strong>They love Malaysian products<\/strong>, especially during Raya when traditions and celebrations take centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But winning their hearts (<em>and wallets<\/em>) takes more than just showing up. It takes strategy, storytelling, and understanding what makes Raya \u2014 and your products \u2014 special to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not convinced? Let us paint the full picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Singapore?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Over Five Times of Our Income<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the numbers. The median monthly household income in Singapore is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singstat.gov.sg\/-\/media\/files\/news\/press07022024.ashx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>SGD10,099<\/strong><\/a> (over RM33,000) \u2014 more than <em>five times<\/em> Malaysia\u2019s<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/open.dosm.gov.my\/dashboard\/household-income-expenditure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>RM6,388<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What feels premium to Malaysians often feels accessible to Singaporeans. That RM200 <em>Baju Melayu<\/em>? It takes up 3.1% of the median Malaysian monthly income but only <strong>0.6% of a Singaporean\u2019s<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your Products Are Their #1 Choice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXd2fn42R2nUXf7rBqeC23fULy0cPypkMPtXQ1E-Tc6xxBHGWvtIvsWG8x82QjAtLydHK1b2FK8A1KWPNc7jm1oujDsNU7iPgsPmz7cbBOaccwKw6w3uFLaGEKuuo_dEj8iibveABA?key=vpza_sMUgzFW4OEXUejlTz1S\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the fun part: Singaporeans already love us. In fact, <strong>78% of them bought Malaysian products last year<\/strong>, far ahead of Thailand at 42% in second place. And <strong>they\u2019re willing to spend big<\/strong>\u2014up to SGD200 (RM680) on cross-border purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your business specialises in Fashion &amp; Accessories or F&amp;B, you\u2019re in luck\u2014these categories are dominating. 68% rank Fashion &amp; Accessories (<em>think Raya outfits<\/em>) as their top choice, while F&amp;B (<em>including Biskut Raya<\/em>) follows closely at 51%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During Raya, this affection only grows more as they look for authentic, culturally meaningful items <em>that we have<\/em>. The data is clear and the demand is there. Are you ready to meet it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Convinced? Now let\u2019s win them over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Winning Singaporean Hearts (and Wallets) This Raya<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#1. Show the Value Behind the Price Tag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that<strong> 72% of Singaporean shoppers prioritise value for money <\/strong>when making purchases? During Raya, this isn\u2019t just about finding the lowest price. It\u2019s about creating a festive experience that feels special: the perfect balance of price, quality, and tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how do you show them your products are worth it? Present them as <strong>affordable yet premium<\/strong>. Rather than just competing on discounts, showcase the craftsmanship, quality, and thought behind every item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure <strong>high-quality product imagery<\/strong>,<strong> descriptions<\/strong>, and<strong> branding<\/strong> to elevate perceived value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highlight value for money with<strong> limited-time bundles<\/strong>, like a \u201cRaya Family Pack\u201d for matching outfits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep pricing smart<\/strong>. Position your bundles and \u201cRaya sets\u201d just below the de minimis threshold (SGD400) to maximise affordability while avoiding added taxes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#2.

Adding to that, 33% value cultural heritage and 36% appreciate craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tells us something important: For Singaporeans,<strong> the story behind a product matters as much as the product itself<\/strong>. They gravitate toward items with meaning\u2014things they can\u2019t find in their backyard or that carry deep cultural ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raya is a time of connection, tradition \u2014 and your products can and <em>should<\/em> reflect this spirit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Share the <strong>cultural story behind your products<\/strong> to give them depth and meaning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Showcase how your <strong>Raya products can create moments of joy or bring families together<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Collaborate with Malay Singaporean micro-influencers <\/strong>to build trust through relatability and authenticity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#3. Deliver More Than Just Parcels<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>56% of Singaporean shoppers expect shipping fees under SGD5, with another 30% willing to pay up to SGD9. That\u2019s 86% expecting a careful balance between affordability and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During Raya, fast and reliable delivery ensures gifts and festive essentials arrive in time for celebrations.
