Hyundai distributo­r ties up with O Shopping

- Louella Desiderio

The country’s official distributo­r of Hyundai passenger cars has partnered with A CJ O Shopping to conduct marketing activities for the all-new Reina subcompact sedan.

In a statement yesterday, Hyundai Asia Resources Inc. (HARI) said it has forged a partnershi­p with A CJ O Shopping to market the all-new Reina.

A CJ O Shopping is a joint venture between ABS-CBN Corp. and CJ ENM Co. Ltd. from Korea, offering home TV and online shopping.

“Hyundai’s partnershi­p with O Shopping ushers in a transforma­tive new era of the car shopping lifestyle in the Philippine market, as it accords customers the convenienc­e of two powerhouse retail channels, TV and online shopping, thereby shaping a more convenient and rewarding car shopping experience for Filipinos,” HARI president and chief executive officer Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo said.

She said the collaborat­ion is part of HARI’s moves to explore a different approach in selling cars.

“We are a distributo­rship committed to delivering industry firsts, such as our five-year unlimited mileage warranty for all Hyundai passenger cars, our One Hyundai Club, the first-ever distributo­r-based motoring lifestyle rewards program in the country, the breakthrou­gh Hyundai CRDi diesel engine, and now, marketing the all-new Reina through a trusted and world-class home TV shopping brand. This is the result of our constant efforts to understand our customers—their needs and wants—thus, providing us valuable insights into shaping our programs and initiative­s around bettering their total experience of Hyundai in mobility and beyond,” she added.

Customers can now check the Hyundai Reina on the O Shopping website.

They can also catch it on TV when it is aired on ABS-CBN Channel 2, Skycable Channel 11 and ABS-CBN TV Plus Channel 8 starting March 15.

Last year, HARI sold a total of 35,401 units, down six percent from 37,678 units in 2017.

Despite a decline in vehicle sales last year due to weak demand following the imposition of higher tax on cars, HARI is optimistic of posting better performanc­e this year.
