Momo launched its television shopping channel in January 2005, broadcasting 24-hour programming to an audience of 5 million households across Taiwan. In May of the same year, it introduced its online shopping platform. Later in 2005, it debuted its mail-order catalogue, which became the most extensive catalogue service in the country. In 2009, Momo became the first Taiwanese virtual retail business to achieve ISO 27001 certification for information security, underlining its commitment to customer service and data protection.[2]
