AIMING to create more business opportunities for women entrepreneurs, Persatuan Wanita Inspirasi Negara Malaysia (WIN) and Asiaspace Sdn Bhd have come together to launch WIN Mall.

Also launched in conjunction with WIN’s third anniversary, the collaboration was in line with the government’s effort to increase the number of entrepreneurs and contribute toward making Malaysia a high income nation by 2020.

Powered by amaxMall, WIN Mall offers an online platform where WIN members can create their own virtual stores to showcase their products and services.

“Small businesses often face budget concerns on advertising to promote their companies.

“This platform serves as a marketplace where WIN entrepreneurs can not only promote what they have to offer online, but also advance into a bigger community with an affordable cost,” said WIN president Norhimah Aziz.

With as little as RM20 a month, one will get 50 stores in WIN Mall, in which you can promote 50 different products or services; RM2.00 will be charged for every successful transaction above RM50 made by the purchaser.

Asiaspace Sdn Bhd chairman Datuk Abdul Ghani Abdullah said the platform gives WIN entrepreneurs the opportunity to expand their business.

“This platform is not limited to registered companies, but also available to individuals who wish to venture into online business,” he said.

“If you have extra stores to spare, you can even make money by sharing the stores or inviting other business owners to take up the remaining spaces,” said Norhimah.

Compared with other e-commerce platforms which manages virtual store on behalf of entrepreneurs, WIN Mall allows business owners to take control of their own business, from store management to shipping and payment configuration.

To add value for WIN members, the collaboration offers the necessary entrepreneurship training on online and offline skills, to ensure WIN’s entrepreneurs are competent and can be more competitive online.

InspiraComm co-founder and editor Nurlina Hussin, who is a WIN Mall entrepreneur, said that the platform was an ideal way of sharing information and engaging with one other within the community while helping other business owners promote their companies.

“WIN Mall helps to reach out to my target market, and at the same time, it gives my business an opportunity to grow,” said AnnkayKnowledge Sdn Bhd managing director Noor Khairil Akmar Mohd.
