Fave’s co-founder, Chen Chow Yeoh, recognizes the pivotal role of young consumers in propelling Southeast Asia’s digital economy today. “Rewards and cashback systems hold a universal appeal across all demographics. Involve Asia, with its proficiency in affiliate marketing and its comprehensive network of publishers and influencers, will allow us to reinforce our customer loyalty programs,” Yeoh said.
Fave’s unique business model enables its customers to receive cashback with every purchase via its affiliate merchant programme. Accumulated cashback can then be used across various merchants on FavePay, Fave Deals, and Fave eCards.
JC Lam, vice president of Partnerships at Involve Asia, expressed the shared objective with Fave to provide superior customer experiences in this evolving digital era. “Our collaboration is based on a mutual ambition to deliver matchless customer experiences, and by leveraging Fave’s customer engagement strategies and our performance-driven marketing tactics, we can help brands create personalized experiences that resonate with their target audiences,” Lam stated.
The collaboration also addresses the growing demand of Southeast Asian consumers for rewards, commissions, and deals as integral parts of their daily life. According to S&P Global Market Intelligence, cashless retail payments in Southeast Asia are estimated to surge at a 14% CAGR, reaching $3.02 trillion in 2025.
