'E-commerce Offers a Flood of "Shopping Chances" During the Holiday Period'

Coupang Holds 'New Semester Fresh Start Fair'
Wemakeprice Hosts 'Wemakeprice Day' from 1st to 3rd

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] E-commerce companies are holding various discount events around the Samiljeol holiday. Although it is a three-day holiday including the weekend, many people are staying at home due to the impact of COVID-19, and since the new semester follows the holiday, these events are designed to help prepare for it conveniently.

Coupang is running the 'New Semester Fresh Start Fair' until the 7th of next month. This event gathers laptops, digital devices necessary for school life, and small home appliances for single-person households such as students living alone all in one place. It is characterized by organizing the event into three categories featuring only the highly demanded 'New Semester MUST ITEM' products so that students can prepare for the new semester with a fresh mindset.

First, in the 'Laptops by Brand' category, popular brands such as Samsung, LG, Lenovo, ASUS, HP, MSI, and Gigabyte offer laptops at up to 15% card discount prices. The 'Smart Outing' category includes items like earphones, tablets, smartwatches, and portable chargers. The 'Single-Person Household Essentials' category consists of small home appliances essential for students living alone or single-person households, such as Electrolux vacuum cleaners, Tefal irons, Philips hair dryers, Braun shavers, and Oral-B electric toothbrushes. Additionally, through a separate category hall, laptops/PCs, audio devices, phone accessories, beauty appliances, vacuum cleaners, and small home appliances are sold at reasonable prices.

Wemakeprice (WEMAKEPRICE) will hold 'WEMAKEPRICE Day' for three days from the 1st to the 3rd of next month, offering a total of 84 super-discounted 'Time Deals.'

On the 3rd, the event '33 Day' will be held with the theme of the number '3.' All product prices will end with 33 won or 333 won. There will be six time slots with 10 items each, selling a total of 60 super-discounted time deal products recommended by Wemakeprice merchandisers (MDs).
