"Hurry to Buy Air Conditioners"... Lotte Hi-Mart Doubles Air Conditioner Sales

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lotte Hi-Mart announced on the 15th that as heatwave warnings have recently been issued across the country and the hot weather continues, the number of consumers seeking air conditioners is increasing.

According to Lotte Hi-Mart, air conditioner sales from the 1st to the 13th of this month doubled compared to the same period last year. This is interpreted as an increase in demand for air conditioners due to the continued hot weather and the rise of 'homecance' consumers who spend their summer vacations at home.

Lotte Hi-Mart is holding the '2021 Air Conditioner Grand Sale' event this month. Customers who visit Lotte Hi-Mart stores nationwide and pay with the event card can receive up to 750,000 KRW in cash back depending on the purchase amount. Up to 36 months of interest-free installment benefits are also provided depending on the event card.

A Lotte Hi-Mart official said, "Consumers who purchased air conditioners late during the 2018 heatwave had to wait up to 15 days for installation," adding, "Since some southern regions are already experiencing daily delays in air conditioner installations, those planning to purchase should hurry to reduce inconvenience caused by installation delays."
