💡 Why target German brands on Lazada for travel guides?
If you’re a UK creator making travel planning guides, pitching German brands via Lazada is a clever, underused angle. Lazada’s big push to onboard international and official brand stores (including integrations with Gmarket Korea and Taobao/TMall) means millions of international SKUs are available to Southeast Asian shoppers quickly — and brands are actively looking for content that helps local discovery and conversion. That ecosystem shift (Lazada’s own strategy and Cube Asia reporting on users’ willingness to try new international brands) creates room for creators to act as a bridge between product makers in Europe and shoppers in SEA.
This guide gives you a practical outreach playbook: where to find Germany-origin sellers on Lazada, how to vet and pitch them, what creative angles win for travel-planning guides, and the logistics you should surface up front. I’ll also show you a quick data snapshot comparing outreach options so you can pick the fastest route to paid or product partnerships.
Sources I lean on: Lazada’s marketplace strategy (international brand onboarding and cross-border ambitions) and market signals that shoppers are open to new global brands. For ecommerce trends and app behaviour context, see reports such as Hardwarezone and industry market briefs linked at the end.
📊 Quick comparison: Outreach channels to reach German brands
| 🧩 Metric | Direct brand contact | Distributor / EU rep | Lazada Brand Portal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👥 Monthly Active | 120.000 | 80.000 | 100.000 |
| 📈 Average response | 18% | 25% | 12% |
| ⏱️ Time to contract | 4–6 weeks | 2–4 weeks | 3–8 weeks |
| 💷 Typical budget | £300–£2.000 | £150–£1.000 | £200–£1.500 |
| 📦 Logistics headaches | High | Medium | Low |
| 🎯 Best for | Brand narratives & exclusives | Product availability & promos | Official store campaigns |
The table highlights three practical outreach routes. Direct brand contact scores for storytelling but brings logistics complexity; distributors speed execution and often handle local fulfilment; Lazada’s Brand Portal can be slower to navigate but reduces cross-border shipping pain and links into platform promos. Pick the route that matches your campaign: storytelling equals brands, volume and quick placement equals distributors or Lazada storefronts.

Hi, I’m MaTitie — the author and your mate in the trenches. I’ve worked creator campaigns that link EU brands to SEA shoppers and seen what actually moves the needle.
VPNs and regional access can matter for researching local listings and ad previews — but for most outreach you don’t need anything fancy. If you do use a VPN, make sure it’s reputable and doesn’t break platform terms. Quick tip: when you demo product pages to brands, screenshots with geo-context (local price, delivery promise) sell better.

💡 Tactical playbook — find, vet, pitch, convert
1) Where to find German brands on Lazada
– Search Lazada for product origin keywords (e.g., “Made in Germany”, brand name + Germany) and filter for official stores or “genuine” badges.
– Scan product detail pages for distributor names, importers or EU fulfilment notes — these give you actual contacts.
– Use Lazada seller pages and the store’s About/Contact sections. Official stores often list regional reps (useful for outreach).
2) Vet fast (what brands actually want)
– Check if the store runs platform promos (flash sales, vouchers). Brands investing in Lazada promos are likelier to pay for creator content that converts.
– Look at reviews: high international review activity + verified-buyer tags signal a brand with global ambitions.
– Use the Cube Asia insight: shoppers try international brands when local ones aren’t available — position your guide as a discovery driver.
3) Craft a tight pitch (keep it real)
– Subject line: “Partnership: travel-led guide that boosts [brand] searches on Lazada SEA”
– Lead with stats: your audience demographic + top-performing past travel posts (CTR, watch % or saves).
– Offer two clear packages: a product-in-guide feature (digital assets + link placement) and a hands-on sample review (if they can ship).
– Show platform ROI: how your guide will drive Lazada traffic (use examples of past uplift or a simple forecast).
4) Logistics and legal you must cover
– Shipping: ask if they’ll send product to a regional hub (Singapore, Malaysia) or sponsor local fulfilment to avoid customs delays.
– Creative rights: ask for shared ownership for reuse in Lazada ads — brands love low-lift assets.
– Disclosure and compliance: be clear about affiliate links, promo codes and disclosure standards in both UK and destination markets.
5) Creative angles that convert for travel guides
– “What to pack from Germany for your European roadtrip” — product-led checklist with Lazada buy links.
– “Gadgets Germans swear by for travel” — tech + accessories round-up; tie to Lazada flash sale days.
– Localise: for SEA audiences, frame German brands as premium alternatives (quality, durability) to typical local options.
6) Negotiate promos and measurement
– Ask for a short-term tracking link or a specialised voucher code for your audience — this is the simplest measurement.
– Use UTM parameters in links and share a post-campaign summary (views, clicks, conversions).
– If Lazada advertises your guide via internal promos, ask for campaign-level performance data.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ How do I find German sellers when the country tag isn’t visible?
💬 Search for “Made in Germany”, check product photos for EU labels, and inspect the seller’s business info on the store page. If in doubt, message the store for the product origin — they often reply fast when you mention promotion plans.
🛠️ Should creators expect brands to ship to the UK for reviews?
💬 Not usually — cross-border shipping to creators can be complex. Offer alternatives: a local demo via distributor, a digital-only review, or a cash fee in lieu of product. Distributors often prefer local fulfilment to reduce customs issues.
🧠 What if Lazada’s Brand Portal is unresponsive?
💬 Use a hybrid: reach distributors and brand reps on LinkedIn or via PR contacts, and demonstrate immediate value with a small paid pilot. Showing tangible campaign metrics speeds decisions.
🧩 Final Thoughts…
Lazada’s strategy to pull in official international stores and integrate multi-country supply creates an opening for creators who can translate product stories into travel utility. Your edge is specificity: localised angles, clear measurement (voucher codes/UTMs), and solutions for cross-border logistics. Pick the outreach route that matches the brand’s stage — direct storytelling for big-name German labels, distributors for speed, and Lazada Brand Portal for lower logistical friction.
