Gathering is an Internet shopping system whereby the item price is lowered in steps as the number of purchase orders grows. In March 2000, we have firstly established this system in Japan. Since then, it has been enjoyed by a huge number of customers as a new shopping model unique to the Internet. “Gathering” is our registered Trademark.

A specific product is marketed during a short period of one week, during which we collaborate with magazines, TV/radio programs, online media and other partner media to make an intensive effort to attract customers. Some items generate more than 10,000 orders during the one-week period. We have launched another service called “24 Value,” whereby goods are available only for 24 hours and are replaced on a daily basis. This service enjoys great popularity as well.

As a result, we obtain volume discounts at the point of procuring goods, without losing mutual benefits with more than 1,500 of partner suppliers. This allows us to offer competitive prices to consumers.

Our gathering business covers a wide range of product categories, including fashion, luxury brands, beauty and cosmetics, daily commodities, home electronics and food. Based on customer feedback, our buyers locate attractive goods around the world to offer.

To customers, we offer popular items at low prices. To partner suppliers, we deliver the advantage of selling goods in large quantities within a short period of time, as a powerful sales channel, pilot marketing tool, and the liquidation method.

“Gathering” is a system unique to the Internet for offering good quality products at low prices on the basis of a Win-Win-Win relationship in the retail sector. It is defined as a core business in our Group’s e-Commerce model.
