How this Malaysian online marketplace created a fun virtual experience for gift shoppers and merchants

Giftmall is an online marketplace for gifts selection that is fun and easy. The official launch of the online marketplace was hosted entirely online with a countdown livestream facilitated by iStaging. Giftmall’s virtual experience expresses the company’s strong brand identity and includes an entrance to the virtual mall, the official launch hall, and merchants’ virtual stores.

 

How many hours have you spent thinking about the best gift for a friend’s birthday?.... I bet enough to remember that it’s not a very pleasant experience. Window shopping or scrolling through e-commerce websites can be tiresome and a drain on your creativity. This is why Giftmall was built. Their mission is to help gift shoppers find the right gift for a special occasion, all done in just seconds.

 

The vision

Giftmall wanted a 3D virtual mall where gift shoppers can visualize the gifts easily and navigate effortlessly through a multitude of suggestions for presents. They also wanted merchants to create their own virtual stores and have a dedicated place for their sponsors.  


The virtual mall is embedded on Giftmall’s online marketplace to engage visitors and allow all the merchants to present their gift suggestions. The virtual mall is embedded on Giftmall’s online marketplace to engage visitors and allow all the merchants to present their gift suggestions.

Dream comes true 

For iStaging, this was an ideal customer to partner with and showcase its virtual store solution. From the perspective of Giftmall, “iStaging brought our virtual experience dream to life! Their technology made things possible by offering the option of branding customization and ready-to-use templates. The branding options speed up the process and create something unique and tailored to our brand identity. The possibility of embedding a livestream session was a great way to create a pre-launch buzz and helped us to build our initial email database. We’re delighted with the implementation experience with iStaging. They made the entire setting up of our online marketplace and creating a virtual experience for our gift shoppers, merchants and sponsors a breeze.”
