Gmarket and Auction Boost Same-Day Delivery... Smile Club Offers 3,000 Won Discount

'Same-Day Delivery Promotion' for Year-End Until the 31st

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] eBay Korea announced on the 29th that it will hold a year-end 'Same-Day Delivery Promotion' through Gmarket and Auction until the 31st, offering discounts on food ingredients, daily necessities, and more. Premium membership 'Smile Club' members will receive daily discount coupons.

This event was prepared for customers who find it difficult to shop directly at marts due to the recent strengthening of social distancing measures. At the Gmarket and Auction same-day delivery sections, customers can find products from Lotte Fresh, GS Fresh Mall, and Homeplus.

Gmarket opened the 'Smile Club's Year-End Shopping' special section, offering various discount benefits. Smile Club members receive a daily 3,000 KRW discount coupon for same-day delivery. The coupon applies when purchasing same-day delivery products worth over 10,000 KRW. Key items include seasoned LA-style short ribs, Australian chilled beef steamed ribs, Cheorwon Odae rice, grain-fed chuck eye roll for grilling, early-ripening Jeju tangerines, and delicious Ottogi rice.

A welcome coupon for first-time same-day delivery users will also be issued once per ID. For regular customers, frequency stamps are issued when purchasing same-day delivery and Smile Delivery (next-day delivery) products; collecting a total of six stickers (three from each) will grant 5,000 KRW Smile Cash, which can be used like cash.

Auction is also holding a 'Homeplus Mart Direct Delivery' promotion, providing Smile Club members with a daily 3,000 KRW discount coupon. Through this event, over 200 Homeplus products including fresh food, health supplements, and daily necessities are offered. Representative products include sweet Seolhyang strawberries, high-sugar-content Taibek tangerines, Jeju fresh hairtail fish, and Koryo Eundan Vitamin C. Daily necessities such as wet tissues, beauty tissues, and masks are also available at discounted prices.

Yoo Doo-ho, Head of Smile Marketing at eBay Korea, said, "As COVID-19 cases are increasing mainly in the metropolitan area, the demand for same-day delivery, which allows customers to receive products immediately, is surging." He added, "With home parties and year-end gatherings among families during the last week of this year, the use of same-day delivery is expected to increase even more."
