Tmon, Overseas Direct Purchases Increase 2.3 Times During 'Black Friday Season'
November Overseas Direct Purchase Sales Increase 130% Compared to Previous Month... Home Appliances and Digital Products Up 230%
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] TMON announced on the 22nd that its sales in the overseas direct purchase sector during November, the Black Friday (Bl프) season, the largest shopping festival in the United States, increased by 130% compared to October, the previous month.
This is interpreted as being due to the large discounts during the Bl프 event period being reflected in the selling prices overseas, combined with TMON's own promotions, resulting in significant price benefits. When purchasing through TMON, concerns about shipping and returns can be alleviated, and overseas direct purchase sales have been increasing by an average of 20% per month.
Looking at the categories, the strength of home appliances stands out. Sales of home appliances and digital products recorded the largest increase with a 230% rise compared to the previous month, followed by luxury goods and clothing (110%), food and health (70%), and beauty (40%). Han Joo-hee, team leader of TMON's overseas direct purchase team, said, "For premium home appliances, we prepared a special overseas direct purchase event reflecting the trend of reverse direct purchases of domestic brand products," adding, "Interest in Black Friday shopping has increased, and it is expected to show a growth rate of over 100% this year as well."
