[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The biggest shopping festival of the first half of the year, Big Smile Day, held simultaneously on Gmarket, Auction, and G9, will end at midnight on the 18th. It is the last day to use discount coupons provided on each site, unveiling a large number of special deals with discounts up to 78%.

As the final special deal recommendation, Gmarket is selling the ‘Hanssem Prime Ritz 4-person Electric Recliner’ at a 40% discounted price. Auction is offering the ‘Philips Electric Shaver S9000 Prestige’ at a 27% discounted price.

Discount coupons of up to 300,000 KRW can also be used. Three types of 20% discount coupons provided to all customers offer discounts up to 300,000 KRW, 30,000 KRW, and 10,000 KRW respectively. These coupons were provided separately on Gmarket, Auction, and G9, and Smile Club members, who are part of the membership program, received an additional coupon each. Additionally, purchasing products with the premium Smile Card The Club grants a 30,000 KRW discount.

An eBay Korea official said, “This Big Smile Day is recording the highest sales mainly with high-priced digital and home appliances by offering powerful benefits,” adding, “Since visitors flock on the last day of the event to use remaining discount coupons, we expect to receive positive responses from consumers until the very end.”
