💡 Why Peru brands on Shopee are worth chasing (and why Kiwi creators should care)
If you’re a Kiwi creator hunting paid gigs beyond Aotearoa, Peru is a proper sweet spot right now — particularly sellers on Shopee Peru who are actively expanding their channel playbooks. Lots of small-to-mid brands sell through marketplaces like Shopee and they’re hungry for creators who can bring traffic from fresh markets, niche audiences, or simply better creative energy.
Why this works: platforms like Shopee push seller promotions and sponsored placements, so brands often need creators to generate lifestyle content, unboxing vids, quick demos and targeted traffic. We’ve seen brands run engagement-heavy campaigns that pull serious numbers — one packaging-based promo reportedly drove over 130,000 interactions and offered both physical prizes and redeemable points (ITBizNews). That sort of activation tells you sellers will pay for creators who move engagement and conversions.
On top of that, global ad and commerce habits are shifting — industry reporting shows digital ad and agency markets are scaling, with brands investing more in multi-channel performance and creator partnerships (Worldwide Market Reports via OpenPR). Quick-commerce and cross-border retail moves also push sellers to test creator-driven plays as a way to stand out (OpenPR quick commerce overview). Translation: there’s budget and tolerance for trial collaborations. You just need a smart approach to be the one they pick.
This guide gives you the practical road-map: where to find Peru sellers on Shopee, how to vet them, real outreach templates, negotiation pointers, content ideas that convert, plus local examples of brands using ambassadors and trade shows to amplify reach.
📊 Data Snapshot — Platform comparison for outreach strategy
| 🧩 Metric | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👥 Monthly Active (Peru, est.) | 12,000,000 | 8,500,000 | 7,000,000 |
| 📈 Typical Conversion (ecommerce) | 8% | 6% | 4% |
| 💰 Avg basket value (est.) | 35 PEN | 50 PEN | — |
| 🎯 Creator-friendly tools | Integrated campaign promos | Seller ads + analytics | Paid collabs via DMs |
| 💬 Best outreach channel | In-app seller chat + Instagram | Seller email + Mercado Libre chat | Instagram DMs |
The table above compares three outreach options: Option A = Shopee Peru sellers, Option B = Mercado Libre sellers, Option C = social-only brands (Instagram-first). Shopee sellers generally offer bigger volume and platform tools, Mercado Libre skews pricier but reliable, and Instagram-first brands are often flexible but may lack marketplace promos. Use this to pick your target: if you want repeat paid gigs tied to sales, target Shopee or Mercado Libre sellers; for creative freedom, aim for Instagram-led brands.

💡 Step-by-step: find sellers on Shopee Peru and shortlist prospects
- Use Shopee’s country selector and search local categories. Start with product categories where lifestyle content helps sales: beauty, snacks, kitchen gadgets, fashion and fitness gear.
- Filter for “Official Store” vs independent sellers. Independent sellers (SMBs) often have smaller budgets but are more flexible with creator collabs.
- Look for recent promos, bundle deals or “add to cart” coupons — active promotions often indicate marketing budget.
- Cross-check the seller’s Instagram / Facebook pages. If a Shopee seller runs giveaways, ambassador posts, or ads on social channels, they’re more likely to pay creators.
- Check reviews and comments for mention of influencers or ambassador codes — that’s a green light.
Real example: a brand campaign that tied in-pack codes to prize draws drove 130,000+ interactions and included physical gifts and redeemable points, showing sellers will invest in engagement mechanics (ITBizNews). That’s the kind of brand you want: they already value user activity, which maps well to creator content.
📢 Outreach scripts that actually get responses
Pick the channel they use most: Shopee in-app chat for immediate sellers, email for bigger stores, Instagram DM for lifestyle brands.
Template A — Shopee in-app quick pitch (short & to the point):
“Hi! Kia ora — I’m [Your name], a Kiwi creator (IG: @handle) with a Peruvian‑interested audience. I loved your [product X]. I can shoot a 30s unboxing + call-to-action that usually drives clicks. Interested in a paid trial? Happy to share rates and examples.”
Template B — Email for bigger sellers:
Subject: Collaboration idea — driving sales for [Store name] on Shopee Peru
Body: Brief intro, why you like product, specific idea (e.g., 45s demo + 15s compression for stories with Shopee link), past campaign result (engagement or CTR if you have it), and clear call to action: ask for budget range or next steps.
Template C — DM for Instagram-first brands:
Short compliment, one-sentence deliverable, and CTA: “If you’re open to a collab, what budget bands do you usually work with for creator posts?”
Pro tip: Lead with the outcome sellers care about — conversions, trackable clicks, or coupon redemptions. Offer to use a special discount code or Shopee affiliate link so you can promise measurable ROI.
🔍 Vetting checklist before you pitch
- Are they running promotions or discounts? (active budgets = open to paid collabs)
- Do they have a clear product-market fit for your audience?
- Is there social proof on their pages (UGC, reviews, ambassador tags)?
- Do they have prior influencer posts — what format and price range?
- Can they provide simple tracking (coupon code, affiliate link, landing page)?
If the answer to at least three of those is yes, they’re a good target.
💸 Pricing & negotiation — what NZ creators should expect
Peru seller budgets vary wildly. Expect three common models:
– Product-only (free goods): common for micro-collabs.
– Fixed fee + product: short posts or reels.
– Performance-based: commission per sale or affiliate link.
Start with a small test campaign. For an initial trial, ask for a product + modest fee (NZ$50–150) depending on deliverables and your reach. If you can commit to tracking a coupon or affiliate link, push for a performance top-up if sales hit target.
When negotiating:
– Be clear on deliverables (format, publish window, caption, tagging).
– State usage rights — many brands will want to reuse content.
– Ask for the budget band — many sellers will name a range, letting you know whether to proceed.
📈 Content formats that convert for Shopee sellers
- Short lifestyle reels (15–30s) showing the product in use, with clear CTA to the Shopee listing.
- Unbox + first impressions — great for gadgets and beauty.
- Comparison style: show why their product is better value than a local alternative.
- Discount-code push: create urgency with limited-time coupon promotions.
Remember: Shopee shoppers respond to clear product benefits, price, and fast shipping cues. If you show the product solving a real problem and include a trackable link/code, sellers will love you.
🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ How do I check if a Shopee Peru seller is legit?
💬 Check seller ratings, recent order counts and buyer comments in the listing. Cross-reference the seller’s social pages — active engagement and a clear contact email are good signs.
🛠️ Can I get paid in NZD or do brands pay in PEN?
💬 Payment methods vary — small sellers might offer product-only or local methods. For cash payments, ask for PayPal or Wise to make transfers straightforward. Clarify currency and fees up front.
🧠 What metrics should I promise to a Peru seller?
💬 Offer realistic, trackable outcomes: clicks, Shopee cart adds, coupon redemptions, or a projected conversion rate based on your past work. Never overpromise; aim for clear measurement via affiliate links or codes.
🧩 Final thoughts — a simple action plan
- Spend a session scanning Shopee Peru categories and shortlist 10 sellers with active promos.
- Cross-check their socials, then pitch 3 with tailored messages — aim for small tests.
- Secure trackable links or a coupon code and deliver engaging short-form content.
- Report results, ask for testimonials, and scale with repeat offers.
Brands like the one that ran a prizes-and-points campaign (ITBizNews) show sellers will reward creators who drive real interactions. Pair that appetite with the rising digital ad and commerce trends reported by market studies (OpenPR), and you’ve got a solid runway to build paid, repeat work.
