During the event, customers who purchase designated models will receive a reimbursement of 20% of the payment amount in the form of digital Onnuri Gift Certificates. This allows consumers to receive benefits when purchasing home appliances while also spending the Onnuri Gift Certificates at traditional markets and local businesses.


There are also promotions related to artificial intelligence (AI)-based services, a topic that has recently become a focus in the home appliance industry.


During the event, Samsung Electronics is offering a benefit to customers who join the AI Subscription Club by providing membership points equivalent to six months of subscription fees.



A retail industry official explained, "There is a growing trend of win-win marketing strategies that aim to increase demand for home appliance purchases while also encouraging spending at local businesses through the use of Onnuri Gift Certificates."
