Alibaba's Taobao debuts Jiyoujia home and living brand in Singapore

Taobao’s NomadX store will feature furniture items from the platform and recommendations via digital showcases.

Taobao, the social commerce platform of Alibaba, launched its home and living channel, Jiyoujia in Singapore, marking the first time its merchants and products are officially introduced to consumers outside China.

According to an announcement, along with the debut came an update of the extended Taobao Home showcase at NomadX, which now contains furniture items from Jiyoujia merchants. Jiyoujia offers a selection of home and living products from Taobao items.

“Singapore is an important market for Taobao, and we continue to witness strong and sustained demand for the home & living category here by shoppers. In fact, the home & living category is our fastest growing segment here,” said Mickey Xiong, country director for Southeast Asia, Taobao.

Jiyoujia also launched its Home Lab portal, which provides furniture recommendations via suggested curated sets of Jiyoujia products featured through interactive digital showcases, where users can hover over each item for more information. The Home Lab portal is launched one week after its debut in China.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
