Husband’s public plea to shopping website to stop wife from shopping strikes gold
A CHEEKY display of affection from a husband to his wife paid off in a big way — a man who had appealed to Zalora Malaysia to not allow his wife to shop at its site is instead receiving some goodies from the company to do just that.
It started on Saturday evening (Nov 29) when Radzi Ali posted a message on Zalora Malaysia’s Facebook page to not allow his wife to shop on their site by pretending its servers or computers were down.
Too amusing a post to miss, the company responded that they could do no such thing and instead, offered that he sign up for its newsletters to receive vouchers and the latest information on its promotions.
The exchange then escalated with Radzi asking if it was possible to ban his wife from the site.
The online fashion retailer stated it could try and the wife, Nuzaimah Ideris, piping in that it shouldn’t even attempt such a move for a potential customer such as herself (check out the story at https://sg.news.yahoo.com/m-sian-husband-hilarious-plea-020044661.html for the full conversation).
Eventually Nuzaimah said that the post had become viral (to date, the post has since been liked by nearly 300 users and shared over 20 times) that she and her husband were just kidding.
While some may argue that 300 likes is not the definition of a viral post, it certainly provided some entertainment to the followers who were checking out the page at the time.
Some commenters on the Yahoo! site even called it a marketing ploy by Zalora, such is our cynicism.
In The Rakyat Post’s article on this yesterday (http://www.therakyatpost.com/life/offbeat/2014/12/02/dont-allow-shop-husband-begs-zalora-malaysia/), we were introduced to Radzi Ali and Nuzaimah Ideris and their funny exchange but could not reach Zalora in time for a statement (the last we knew of anything was that the company had asked the couple to get in touch with it through private message).
It has since responded our request for a statement: “We are heartened and entertained to have had such a candid interaction with Radzi Ali and Nuzaimah Ideris on our Facebook page.
“Online shopping continues to grow in popularity among consumers in Malaysia and in the region. We thought that the husband and wife post was a reflection on how our society embraced a more digital lifestyle.
“We at Zalora believe that good fashion can help improve confidence and let individuals shine.
“As a young mother, we would love to give Nuzaimah Ideris the opportunity to look her best, so we are sending her some special Zalora gifts as a sign of support and appreciation.”
From it, we can infer that, no, it was not an intentional act of increasing publicity but it had certainly come out as one.
And in terms of publicity stunts, we could do worse than a playful exchange between a husband, his wife and a big company that sells fashion apparel.
