“Festive sales aren’t one day — they’re a journey. Your retail media strategy should be too.”

Across Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Ramadan consumer behaviour is shifting. Shoppers take longer to consider purchases, spread spending across weeks, peak at culturally meaningful moments, and allocate budgets across multiple categories—from home essentials to apparel and food.

Ramadan is no longer a single spike in demand.


It’s a prolonged purchase journey.

For retailers and brands, this means moving beyond last-minute festive campaigns. Awareness, consideration, and conversion now happen at multiple touchpoints—before, during, and after Ramadan. Being present only at the “peak” is no longer enough.

Retail media strategies need to mirror this journey: sustained, contextual, and data-driven. Brands that understand when and where shoppers decide will win not just seasonal sales, but long-term loyalty.
