Supermarkets and shopping malls around the country have announced a slew of promotions to attract shoppers during the six-day holiday on the occasion of the Hung Kings anniversary, Liberation Day (April 30) and May Day (May 1).
With the long holiday this year, supermarket chain Co.opmart has stocked two times the normal quantity of products and launched promotions as it expects sales to be double that of normal days, Vo Hoang Anh, marketing director of Saigon Co.op, said.
From now until May 3 Co.opmart supermarkets and Co.opXtra hypermarkets will offer discounts of up to 50 percent on over 4,000 items and gift vouchers to 1,600 newly registered loyal customers, and organise a lucky draw with prizes of 19 free tours.
It was one of the supermarket's biggest promotions during the year since the holiday also coincided with its 19th anniversary, Anh said.
French supermarket Big C has announced two promotions until May 4 with discounts of 5-49 percent on more than 1,500 items like fresh and processed foods, foodstuffs, beverages, household appliances, clothes, and cosmetics besides attractive gifts.
Big C said it expected sales to rise sharply during the holiday and has doubled stocks compared to normal days, especially of ready-to-eat foods, fresh and processed foods, bread, vegetables, fruits and beverages, meat, and seafood.
Lotte Mart has organised a fruit festival featuring more than 30 varieties of tropical fruits, including mango, papaya, Phan Rang grapes, Long Khanh guava, Dak Lak avocado, durian, and watermelon.
Expecting demand to increase sharply before and during the holiday, the Korean supermarket has increased stocks to Lunar New Year levels and announced attractive discounts on several items like processed foods and beverages.
