Coupang continues to bring the U.S. to South Korea by partnering with the U.S. Commercial Service. On Thursday, March 17, U.S. businesses gathered at LA City Club to celebrate the launch of this partnership and learn about the ins and outs of selling goods online to South Korea.
Attendees learned about the huge eCommerce opportunity presented by South Korea, which is fourth globally in online retail sales and the top luxury spending nation per capita. The U.S. is consistently the most important source of online sales for South Korean customers and whether it’s health supplements, electronics or fashion, U.S. brands demonstrate strong demand.
As South Korea’s no.1 shopping app and one of its largest eCommerce companies, Coupang offers U.S. businesses a chance to take advantage of this amazing chance to grow their sales. Coupang’s global nature also means that you don’t need to speak Korean to succeed. You can access the seller portal in English and Chinese, too! Attendees saw some impressive success stories from fellow global sellers.
Seller success is a top priority for Coupang Global Marketplace, which is why you’ll have access to countless educational materials that are designed to help improve your business. Our Seller University is a great place to start polishing your selling skills!
Sellers of scale also have the benefit of receiving 1-1 support. Our international hotline (contact details here) are an invaluable resource if you find yourself stuck or you can email us at grp_globalsellingrow@coupang.com if you’re seeking a consultation.
Attendees were able to learn about how to get their products from the U.S. to South Korea thanks to an insightful presentation from ACI, one of Korea’s first international express companies.
