The Mall Group, which has joined forces with business partners and the nation’s leading financial institutions, is investing over Bt150 million to launch the “The Mall Group Get Lucky Mid-Year Sale 2019” campaign.

 

The campaign will be held from May 30 to July 17 at The Mall Shopping Centre and Department Store, The Emporium, EmQuartier, and Paragon Department Store.

 

The grand mid-year promotion offers up to 80-per-cent discounts from all the leading brands in the group’s shopping centres, which feature more than 10,000 brands in total. 

 

The campaign introduces the group’s “Retailtainment” strategy, which is the first time that a department store has ever brought gamification to fulfill an innovative shopping experience in a fun and exciting way throughout the whole campaign. 

 

The campaign is estimated to bring in over Bt8 billion, representing growth of 10 per cent from last year, which will increase traffic in the group’s shopping centres and department stores by up to 20 per cent during regular hours, the company said.

 

Voralak Tulaphorn, chief marketing officer of The Mall Group, said: “In response to the policy, set out by the Finance Ministry, to boost the nation’s economy during the mid-year period that aims to increase spending transactions and facilitate cash flow into Thailand’s economy, the government has arranged for tax deductions when consumers purchase educational and sports merchandise. 

 

“Shoppers who purchase these items can receive individual income-tax deductions up to Bt15,000, which is a measure that will help boost sales and greatly increase the purchasing power of consumers in the retail market.”

Introducing a new form of gambling here may very well produce higher retail sales. But 150M makes you 8B? LOS math at work again? 

Yeah, nah, I wouldn't say this is making history. It's just a mid-year sale. Nice bit of paid spin by the Nation, but somehow I don't think this one is going to go down in any annals.

Love the characters. A horny multi-testicled red devil and a pink fish with multiple sagging breasts.

I still have not figured out how PEMQuartier stays afloat.  Everything there is high end and expensive including the food.

 

At least with paragon, you have coffee shops that are not bad SeaWorld and the movie theatre.

 

I go to EmQuartier every week as i have a doctor in the area and there er people yes but no one in the stores buying.
