[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] SSG.com announced on the 3rd that it will officially join Gmarket Global Shop, the reverse direct purchase mall of Gmarket Global. Gmarket Global Shop is a reverse direct purchase platform established in 2006, targeting foreigners residing in Korea and abroad, and was the first in the domestic e-commerce industry.

SSG.com will enter mainly with fashion, beauty, and processed food products, with the total number of items expected to reach 9.65 million. Accordingly, consumers from over 80 countries worldwide, including the United States and Hong Kong, using Gmarket Global Shop will be able to purchase various products handled by SSG.com. Through Gmarket Global's own logistics warehouse adjacent to Incheon International Airport, even products purchased from different sellers can be delivered together in one shipment with combined packaging and delivery services. The delivery period takes an average of 7 to 10 days.

Services for sellers are set at the same level as existing Gmarket Global Shop sellers. All processes involved in online export, such as product registration, payment, and delivery, are supported, and dedicated overseas sales consultants are assigned to facilitate foreign language communication.

To commemorate this entry, Gmarket Global Shop will hold the 'Shinsegae Grand Open' promotion from the 4th to the 12th. During this period, customers who purchase products from Shinsegae Department Store Mall and Shinsegae Mall on Gmarket Global Shop will receive coupons that offer discounts of up to 15% of the purchase amount.

An SSG.com official said, “Through this entry, competitive domestic brands will have the opportunity to meet consumers from various countries,” and added, “We will continue to expand our customer base through various collaborations with Gmarket Global Shop.”
