KRSamsung Electronics' Thank You Festival, which ran from June 8 to June 30, appears to have driven stronger-than-expected demand for its appliances, TVs, and mobile devices in South Korea. The campaign offered customers digital Onnuri vouchers worth 20% of their purchase price, with an initial allocation of 400 billion won ($262 million) in vouchers. Industry sources estimated potential sales of up to 2 trillion won, though actual sales may have surpassed this figure due to increased foot traffic at Samsung Stores, which rose by over 75% compared to pre-campaign levels. The boost is expected to positively impact Samsung's second-quarter earnings, particularly for the Digital Appliances and Visual Display divisions, which rely more on domestic demand. Analysts estimate combined second-quarter sales for these divisions at around 14 trillion won, potentially exceeding market expectations. However, some analysts warn that the sales spike might delay future demand as many consumers may have postponed purchases rather than making them now.
