Astro Bug

SINGAPORE - AstroBug -- Shiokly (https://shiokly.com), a new Singapore online marketplace, has launched to help home-based businesses (HBB) and small local brands reach more customers without building their own website or spending on ads.

Singapore has a growing community of home bakers, home cooks and small sellers, but many rely on word of mouth and their own social media followers to find customers. Shiokly gives them a proper online storefront, organised by category, where shoppers can browse and contact sellers directly on WhatsApp.

A free first listing for every vendor

Every vendor can list their first product on Shiokly at no cost, so home-based sellers can test whether a product sells before committing. Categories include Cakes, Home Bakes, Local Delights, Catering, Electronics, Beauty and Grooming, Household and more. Vendors can find out more at https://shiokly.com/sell-on-shiokly/ and claim the free listing at https://shiokly.com/free-listing-home-based-business/.

Sales outreach across the channels Singaporeans use

Instead of simply hosting listings, Shiokly actively promotes them. Products are sent to Google Merchant Center so they can appear in Google Shopping and Search, and are shared on Instagram, Facebook pages and groups, and local community Telegram groups.

"Many home-based businesses in Singapore make excellent products but struggle to be seen," said a Shiokly spokesperson. "Shiokly is designed to be the fastest way for a small seller to get exposure and find out if their product sells, starting with a free listing."

Shiokly sells for you: products, services and vouchers

Shiokly has also introduced a done-for-you sales service for busy business owners. Spas, foot massage and reflexology outlets, salons, food businesses, studios and shops can have Shiokly's team actively sell their products, service packages and vouchers. Price, quantity and voucher terms are agreed with the business upfront, and the business simply delivers the product or honours the voucher. Details are at https://shiokly.com/helping-you-sell/.
