What Malaysians are doing

After CNY, buyers shift back to practical spending, but they still respond to meaningful festive moments.

Why they are doing it

Post-festive budgets tighten first, then discretionary categories recover in a selective way.

What your business should do this week

  1. Review post-festive drop-off by product tier.
  2. Keep retargeting focused on practical value.
  3. Pre-plan Raya messaging now, not at launch week.

So What For Your SME?

Turn CNY lessons into two Raya angles now: practical household value and premium gifting intent.
