At Media Mart in Hanoi (Source: VNA) Hanoi (VNA) – With the 2018 FIFA World Cup underway, businesses are fighting to attract TV buyers, offering various promotions.

Meanwhile, apart from 50 percent off, Pico supermarket chain also promises attractive gifts for customers.
Pico supermarket in Nguyen Trai street said its TV sales have increased sharply with turnover up 20-30 percent against the same period last year.
