iShopChangi to run five-week promotions programme across multiple product categories

SINGAPORE. Changi Airport Group (CAG) has announced a wide-ranging list of promotions from its iShopChangi.com ecommerce site, under the banner iShopathon. The event will run between today and 10 August.

The promotions run across a site offering 19,000 products and which saw a +93% rise in customers during last year’s inaugural staging of iShopathon. Previously available to travellers only, iShopChangi has shifted its focus to non-travelling Singapore-based residents, offering tax and duty-absorbed prices, including premium and travel-exclusive items, with home deliveries made within three to five working days.

Highlights of site-wide deals include flash sales today and on 8 August. On both days, customers can take advantage of -10% off all products, with no minimum spend and the discount capped at -S$50 (US$37.10).

There is also a month-long site-wide iShopathon promotion (10 July-10 August), with -8% off all products, with no minimum spend and the discount capped at -S$30 (US$22.26).

Category-specific deals are also available. These include -15% off beauty products with a minimum spend of S$350 (US$259.72), with the discount capped at -S$80 (US$59.36); and -10% off fashion goods with a minimum spend of S$150 (US$111.31), with the discount capped at -S$30.

In addition, two iShopathon Live events – featuring discounts on wines & spirits – are scheduled for tomorrow (8 July 9-11pm ST) and 5 August, also 9-11pm ST. These periods will see the release of exclusive -20% and -50% promotion codes, flash bundle deals and giveaways of over S$6,000 (US$4,452) in prizes.

The schedule of hosts for the two events will see the appearance of Aiken Chia and Nina Tan of Night Owl Cinematics, chef and food writer Sarah Huang Benjamin, and host and Fly Entertainment artiste Amanda Chang tomorrow.

Meanwhile, on 5 August Chia and Tan will once again appear, along with actress and TV personality Xenia Tan, and comedian Royce Lee.

Between 7 July and 10 August, @iShopChangi will be giving away S$2,000 (US$1,484) of prizes to be won on iShopChangi via the online retailer’s Facebook and Instagram pages. There will be giveaways from wines & spirits labels including Glenfiddich and Maker’s Mark, beauty brands Skin Inc and Kinohimitsu and electronics brand Lenovo.

Finally, the 7 July-10 August period will see “partner exclusives” for DBS/POSB cardholders offered, including a discount of -S$20 (US$14.84) off for new iShopChangi users with no minimum spend and -S$20 off a spend of S$200 (US$148.41) for existing users.
