wow.lk, Sri Lanka’s largest online shopping mall, recently celebrated its fourth anniversary, by launching a new corporate logo and a series of special promotions.

Commenting on wow.lk’s anniversary celebration, Digital Commerce Lanka (Pvt.) Ltd Chief Executive Officer Sheyantha Abeykoon stated, “There is no doubt that the company has revolutionised ecommerce in Sri Lanka over the past four years by introducing many new innovations to a fledgling industry. E-commerce is as much about communicating your brand message to your customers and delivering a sustainable value proposition, as it is about ensuring that your products and services are merely a click away from customers at all times.
wow.lk has gone beyond the basic requirements of an e-commerce site since inception; we don’t just have an expansive product catalogue and a variety of special offers, we also offer reliable and quick fulfilment services, assured product quality, excellent after-sales support and exceptional standards of customer service. These aspects of our business have helped us to win the trust of customers across the country”.
Sharing his thoughts Sirraj Abdul, Hameed Senior Manager Marketing stated at Digital Commerce, “We were the first e-commerce site to inject fun and excitement into the process of buying products online and this is a significant reason for the website to gain popularity and recognition over the last few years. This year, we celebrate four years of success as Sri Lanka’s largest online shopping site. We would not have achieved this level of growth without the patronage and support of our valued customers, suppliers and partners. In order to thank our customers and stakeholders for embracing the wow.lk concept and for continuously supporting us, we have launched a variety of promotions and giveaways. Our greatest strength is that we have been able to evolve and evolve quickly over time and we believe that our new logo heralds yet another stage of our evolution and that will enable us to secure a differentiated and strong brand positioning and presence in the e-commerce industry.”
