New Semester 'Shopping Chance' Floods E-commerce Platforms

Up to 82% Discount on New Semester Supplies at Tmon and More

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] E-commerce companies are consecutively launching large-scale discount events ahead of the new school semester. As the trend of contactless consumption has expanded due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, this is expected to provide consumers with an opportunity to prepare for the new semester more reasonably from home.

Tmon (CEO Lee Jin-won) is currently running the 'New Semester Preparation' event until the 28th of this month. It offers discounts of up to 82% on products necessary for preparing for the new semester, including stationery, homeschooling supplies, health foods, and living goods. This event is a discount promotion prepared to coincide with the new semester starting normally from March following the easing of social distancing measures.

Tmon has carefully selected various children’s and student supplies, including stationery needed for classes. Additionally, for adults facing new beginnings such as university entrance or first employment, a variety of special-priced products in digital electronics, fashion, and beauty are also available. Recommended products by age group and price range to ease gift concerns can also be found. Tmon plans to support shopping with additional discounts by providing up to 10% discount coupons and exclusive coupons for BC and Citi cardholders to customers purchasing products from the New Semester Preparation event.

Interpark is running an integrated promotion called 'New Semester Refresh' until the 5th of next month in preparation for the new semester. This promotion was designed to reduce customers' shopping burdens by offering special benefits during the period when consumption increases not only for new semester preparation but also for graduation and entrance gifts. To this end, Interpark has prepared various discount coupons during the promotion period. In particular, benefits are focused on product categories with high demand for the new semester, such as digital devices, furniture, stationery, and fashion items, and various benefits in fields such as books, domestic accommodations, performances, and exhibitions that can only be enjoyed at Interpark are provided all at once.

Along with this, Interpark is also holding various special events such as a laptop, tablet PC, stationery, and student furniture fair, as well as reference and study book fairs, to help students effectively attend online classes at home. Choi Hoon-ki, head of Interpark’s promotion team, said, "We prepared this promotion so that all new semester preparations can be completed in one place at Interpark and customers can enjoy more practical benefits in the changed daily life." He added, "We are also introducing a variety of digital devices, books, noteworthy performances and exhibitions, and domestic accommodation products, which are in the highest demand."
