MyyShop, a cross-border social commerce platform launched by DHGATE Group in 2020, completed a successful four-day exhibit at SXSW Creative Industries Expo, held from March 12 to 15, 2023 in Austin, Texas. The MyyShop booth at the Austin Convention Center attracted thousands of attendees who were eager to learn about the platform’s AI-powered capabilities, including empowering creators to discover viral products quickly, build customized stores, and earn commission on sales.
“We are thrilled with the positive responses we received at SXSW,” said Diane Wang, founder, chairperson, and CEO of DHGATE Group. “As the only exhibitor from China in this year’s CIE, MyyShop’s AI-powered platform and the insightful panel discussion at SXSW Next Stage resonated well with attendees. We believe that we have the right tools and the right message to help content creators and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) entrepreneurs reach their full potential.”
MyyShop held a panel discussion themed Unlocking the Power of Social Commerce at the Next Stage of CIE on March 15, giving visitors an opportunity to learn how social commerce is transforming the retail landscape in America. The panelists discussed how social commerce had taken Asia by storm and would shake the US and global market in the future, how MyyShop enables creators to conveniently “Share to Earn” by creating a shoppable link on their own social accounts for the trending products they love, and sharing it with their followers and fans. They also shared the success stories of some content creators and discussed the future of social commerce in America, including how individuals can cash in on this retail revolution.
MyyShop panelists also shared that in 2022 alone, content creators made a combined total revenue of USD 3.5 million from recommending their favorite DHgate products to shoppers on various social media platforms. The event’s highlights included a content creator specializing in home décor, who shared with the audience how she built her store and recommended chairs, tables, and vases that went viral on TikTok.
