HONOR Philippines Transforms Digital Retail Experience with TikTok Shop Breakthrough

HONOR Philippines is proving that tech innovation goes beyond devices; it extends to how brands connect with consumers. Through a bold and data-driven approach to e-commerce, the leading global provider of smart devices has emerged as a standout performer on TikTok Shop, leveraging the platform’s full ecosystem to drive visibility, engagement, and sales.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, HONOR recorded a 1.7x performance increase compared to Q1 to Q3, securing its place among TikTok Shop’s Top 20 brands in the Phones & Tablets category and ranking #13 overall. The brand’s success is rooted in a strategic fusion of product innovation, content creation, and precision advertising, all guided by TikTok Shop’s ACE Indicator System, which focuses on Assortment, Content, and Empowerment to measure and optimize seller performance.

By implementing targeted product drops, viral content strategies, and high-impact ad placements, HONOR achieved a 174% growth in gross merchandise value (GMV) in Q4 2024 compared to the first three quarters of the year. These results highlight the brand’s ability to translate digital engagement into tangible sales, setting a new standard for tech retail in the fast-evolving social commerce landscape.

Driving Sales Through Strategic Product Launches

A key factor in HONOR’s success was its well-timed product launches and compelling offers tailored to TikTok Shop’s unique shopping experience. The introduction of the HONOR X7c during the 11.11 Paskong Panalo Sale served as a major growth driver, amplifying brand visibility during a peak sales period.

In addition, HONOR strengthened its online presence by rolling out exclusive discounts, including 10% off for the HONOR X9b during regular sales and up to 30% off with TikTok Pay Later. TikTok Pay Later is a credit-based payment method available on TikTok Shop, offering customers a “shop now, pay later” experience. Eligible users can access credit limits of up to PHP 50,000, repayable in up to 12 installments. This feature allows for flexible payment options, enhancing the shopping experience on TikTok. These incentives boosted sales and positioned HONOR as a top-performing brand within its category.

“We strategically time our product launches to coincide with major sales events, ensuring maximum consumer engagement and higher conversion rates,” said Stephen Cheng, Vice President of HONOR Philippines. “By aligning our releases with peak shopping periods, we create heightened anticipation and provide customers with exclusive deals, making our offerings even more compelling. On the other hand, TikTok Shop provides the perfect platform for us to showcase our innovations, offering customers both quality and value in a seamless shopping experience,” Stephen added.

Optimizing product listings also played a crucial role in HONOR’s growth. By strategically highlighting each device’s unique selling points, the brand drove a 114% increase in Shop Tab GMV and a threefold increase in non-affiliate GMV, proving the effectiveness of its organic and affiliate-driven sales strategies.

Engaging Content Fuels Consumer Connection

HONOR Philippines has also leveraged the power of content-driven commerce, turning TikTok Shop into a hub for immersive shopping experiences. The brand conducted daily livestreams, averaging 12 hours per day, to directly engage with potential buyers and build real-time connections.

This commitment to live selling paid off significantly, leading to a 400% increase in Live GMV during the 12.12 Paskong Panalo sale compared to regular business days. Quarter-on-quarter, live selling revenue skyrocketed eightfold, demonstrating the growing consumer demand for interactive and engaging shopping experiences.

Beyond livestreams, HONOR also amplified its presence by participating in viral challenges and trending short-form content, further boosting customer interaction. One of its most successful sessions even recorded a gross profit margin (GPM) of 17.72, proving that highly engaging content translates directly into stronger sales.

Leveraging TikTok Shop’s Tools for Sustained Growth

Beyond content and product strategy, HONOR Philippines has fully embraced TikTok Shop’s advertising and campaign ecosystem to strengthen its digital commerce leadership. The brand actively joined weekly and monthly platform-wide campaigns, reinforcing its commitment to long-term growth.

HONOR also maximized TikTok Shop’s precision-targeted ad formats, including Product Showcase Ads (PSA), Video Shopping Ads (VSA), and Live Shopping Ads (LSA). This investment in digital advertising resulted in a 4.5x increase in return on ad spend (ROAS) and secured HONOR a spot among the top 11 brands in the Phones & Tablets category during the 12.12 sale.

“Our strategic approach to TikTok Shop’s ad solutions has been instrumental in reaching the right audiences and driving impactful results,” Stephen Cheng, Vice President of HONOR Philippines, added. “By leveraging data insights and optimizing our campaigns, we’ve strengthened our visibility and customer connections, setting the stage for continuous growth.”

Setting the Standard for Digital Retail Excellence

As the e-commerce landscape continues to evolve, HONOR Philippines showcases how brands can successfully blend technology, content, and strategic marketing to thrive in the digital marketplace. Through well-timed product launches, immersive livestreams, and data-driven ad placements, the brand has positioned itself as a leader in the competitive smart device industry.

“HONOR Philippines has truly leveraged TikTok Shop to its full potential, using the platform’s unique tools to connect with local consumers in meaningful ways,” said Franco Aligaen, Marketing Lead at TikTok Shop Philippines. “Their success is a testament to how TikTok Shop empowers local brands, like HONOR, to compete on a global scale by combining innovation with a deep understanding of their audience, whether through live sessions, exclusive promotions, or creative content.”

Beyond its strong numbers, HONOR’s success underscores the transformative power of digital commerce. As the brand continues to refine its approach and expand its reach, it sets a compelling precedent for how businesses can thrive in the ever-evolving world of online retail.

Monitor Your Health Anytime, Anywhere with the HUAWEI WATCH D2

HUAWEI Philippines’ first ever smartwatch with Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM), the HUAWEI WATCH D2, is taking a leap forward in health monitoring technology, delivering faster and more precise health info than ever before.

Upgraded Blood Pressure Monitoring All on Your Wrist

“Hypertension is a significant health concern as it poses major risks for cardiovascular diseases,” emphasized known medical doctor and content creator, Dr. Lyien Ho. She also reiterated the serious danger of hypertension when it goes undiagnosed and untreated, stating, “It is often called a ‘silent killer’ because it may not present noticeable symptoms until complications arise, making regular monitoring crucial.”

“In the Philippines, hypertension is an urgent public health issue due to its rising prevalence and the associated complications that contribute to morbidity and mortality,” Dr. Ho added. With the prevalence of hypertension and its critical health risks, continuous blood pressure monitoring is not only helpful but increasingly essential for effective health management.

The HUAWEI WATCH D2 allows watch wearers to get an accurate blood pressure reading by simply raising their wrist. Users can set scheduled alerts to remind them to check their blood pressure even upon waking, helping them capture blood pressure data promptly. While users are asleep, the watch automatically checks users’ blood pressure with little to no disturbance, ensuring users get an interrupted sleep.

 Faster, More Precise Health and Fitness Insights

Powered by the HUAWEI TruSense System, the HUAWEI WATCH D2 offers improved accuracy, speed, and flexibility in health monitoring. The watch measures vital signs precisely. The watch also comes with Fusion Blood Pressure Algorithm, which works well with the ultra-narrow mechanical airbag to deliver accurate blood pressure monitoring more comfortably.

In a single tap, users can measure 9 vital health indicators, including heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, stress, skin temperature, ECG, vascular elasticity, pulse wave arrhythmia, and sleep apnea detection. The watch then generates a Health Glance report in as quick as 90 seconds. This offers a quicker, more affordable avenue for users to manage their health compared to clinical check-ups. However, the watch is a non-medical device that should not replace diagnosis and treatment from medical professionals.

The HUAWEI Health App enhances family health management by allowing users to share and view loved ones’ vital signs including heart rate, blood oxygen, and blood pressure data. The app also sends alerts for irregularities in health readings, which helps ensure care for the family.

 Premium, Lightweight Design for All-Day Wear

The HUAWEI WATCH D2 features an elegant design with lightweight comfort. It comes with a sleek mirror bezel, a segmented body, and a seamless curved surface. The rotating crown offers a smoother user experience. The watch’s 1.82-inch large screen with a 2.5D floating design provides a broader, clearer visual experience. The magazine style-layout, with clear large fonts, of the UX interface displays vibrant colors that is truly a feast for the eyes.

Smarter Features for More Convenient Experience

The HUAWEI WATCH D2 encourages users to develop healthier habits that support effective blood pressure management with daily task tracking features, covering tasks such as exercise, diet, sleep, weight, and stress. This offers a holistic approach to health management.

The smartwatch also supports a range of smart lifestyle features like Bluetooth Calling,  allowing users to answer calls directly from their wrist. The watch is universally compatible with iOS and Android devices. The HUAWEI WATCH D2 is the perfect all-day companion as it boasts a reliable battery life that lasts up to 6 days for typical use, on a single charge.

Supercharged by AI: Acer Debuts the Swift 14 AI

Acer launches its first Copilot+ PC with the Swift 14 AI laptop, in collaboration with Microsoft and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., ushering in a new AI era with brand new user experiences and AI capabilities on Windows 11. The Swift 14 AI has multiple device models, powered by Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus platforms[1], and both feature one of the world’s fastest NPUs for laptops to enable on-device AI processing. Users can streamline everyday tasks with smarter PC functions and tackle complex workloads more effectively.

“Engineered for AI from the inside out, the Swift 14 AI is the first among many Acer Copilot+ PCs to come,” said Jerry Kao, COO, Acer Inc. “These next-generation AI PCs see significant leaps in AI processing power, unlocking brand new experiences that we know users will love.”

“It’s exciting to collaborate with Acer to bring AI technology to its Windows PC range of devices from sleek ultrabooks to powerful gaming rigs. Our collaboration has been crucial in delivering productive and secure PCs that cater to a broad spectrum of customers while also balancing style and performance with affordability, making technology accessible to a wider audience while also focusing on sustainability,” states Mark Linton, VP Device Partner Sales, Microsoft Corp.

“The Swift 14 AI is a remarkable device that demonstrates the power, performance and intelligence capabilities of the Snapdragon X Elite platform,” said Kedar Kondap, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Compute & Gaming, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

A New AI Era Begins with Copilot+ PCs

The new Swift 14 AI has been optimized with powerful AI, unlocking new productivity, creativity, and communication experiences.

With Recall[], users can easily find anything they have seen on their PC by simply describing the clues they remember. With an explorable timeline, users can easily scroll across time to get back to apps, documents, or messages they previously used. Live Captions[2,] with live translations provides automatic speech captions and conducts translations in real-time of any live or pre-recorded video from 44 languages into English.

To spark imagination and creative abilities, visual or written prompts can now be used to co-create AI images and texts on the device with Cocreator[2,3]. Auto Super Resolution[2] automatically upscales graphics resolution and frame refresh rates of games in real-time to deliver the visuals players crave without taking a hit on performance. For those who always want to look and sound their best while better engaging their audience in video calls, Windows Studio Effects[2,3] helps to automatically improve lighting conditions and cancel out unwanted noise.

Premium Design and Features

As a reflection of its modern capabilities and usability, the Swift 14 AI sports a refined Copilot+ PC-exclusive design, highlighted by a unique AI icon stamped on the cover of the thin-and-light chassis and an Activity Indicator on the touchpad that illuminates when the device or Copilot is activated. The laptop features a 14.5-inch WQXGA (2560×1600) IPS display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and support for 100% sRGB color gamut. It is available with edge-to-edge touchscreen options and comes with TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe® Certification 2.0[1] to help minimize the effects of harmful blue light without sacrificing color accuracy. A 180-degree hinge design provides the flexibility of a different user mode and enables easy opening of the aluminum cover with one hand.

A 1440p QHD IR webcam with a triple microphone array[1] and privacy shutter supports Acer’s suite of AI-boosted conferencing tools in Acer PurifiedView™ 2.0 and Acer PurifiedVoice™ 2.0 to ensure users always look and sound their best. These can be swiftly calibrated thanks to Acer QuickPanel which intuitively appears when the device’s webcam or microphone has been switched on. A dedicated key directs users to the Red Dot Design Award-winning AcerSense™ app for device management and a library of AI features available on the device through the Experience Zone.

Exact specifications, prices, and availability will vary by region. To learn more about availability, product specifications and prices in specific markets, please contact your nearest Acer office via www.acer.com.
