Gmarket Service to Launch on T Universe Next Month
Additional Benefits Including OTT and Dining at Shinsegae Universe Club
Smile Cash 1,000 Won Gifted to Customers Who Apply for Pre-Notification
Gmarket announced on the 26th that it plans to launch a new type of service by partnering with SK Telecom to add shopping benefits from its membership service, 'Shinsegae Universe Club,' to T Woosoo.
T Woosoo is a monthly subscription service provided by SK Telecom. It offers benefits to subscribers through partnerships with various companies in online video services (OTT), dining, cafes, convenience stores, IT services, and more.
Through T Woosoo, Gmarket will primarily offer the benefits of the Shinsegae Universe Club membership while introducing a new subscription product that allows users to enjoy additional benefits such as OTT, dining, and cafes.
Subscribers through T Woosoo can enjoy all the benefits from six Shinsegae Group companies both online and offline that the existing Shinsegae Universe Club offers. Additionally, when subscribing via T Woosoo, users can use the annual membership of the Shinsegae Universe Club in the form of a monthly fee, which is another advantage.
The Gmarket benefits within T Woosoo are scheduled to officially open in September, and detailed benefit information and subscription fees (monthly fees) will be disclosed on the opening day.
Before the official launch, a teaser promotion will also be held. Customers who sign up for advance notifications of Gmarket’s T Woosoo launch product will receive 1,000 Smile Cash, which can be used like cash on Gmarket and Auction, given daily to the first 10,000 people. The event runs until September 2, and advance notification sign-ups are available on SK Telecom’s T Woosoo website.
A Gmarket official said, "We are expanding the membership subscription channels externally so that many customers can experience the benefits of the Shinsegae Universe Club," adding, "Based on a strong partnership with SK Telecom, we plan to introduce various new products for membership members in addition to this subscription product."
