Lotte Duty Free, which is famous for its large Hallyu star marketing, is actively targeting Millenial customers with another marketing called LDF. The YouTube account, 계정darn TV, operated by Lotte Duty Free, has surpassed 550,000 subscribers, maintaining the No. 1 spot in the Korean company's YouTube account. " Since it is a duty-free shop, we have been doing a lot of marketing for foreigners, and naturally using new media such as online, " Nam said. " When other companies and brands are moving to YouTube or New Media Marketing, it was a big opportunity to move faster. " " After analyzing the characteristics of the Millenial generation, they realized that they were interested in fun and experience and love language play, " Nam said. " By combining the LDF, the abbreviation for Lotte Duty Free, which is the English version of Lotte Duty Free, into Korean, we created a new name called " Yum. " " Recently, we have expanded the meaning of ' Let's Do Something Fun ' along with Yum and are approaching more interesting content to our customers at home and abroad. " Six members of the 20s-30s team gathered together and poured out fresh ideas. Lotte Duty Free is focusing on " Hallyu Star Marketing, " which features the biggest stars of the time, including BTS (BTS), EXO, TWI, Super Junior, Lee Min-ho, Park Shin-hye, Lee Jong-seok. " If the Hallyu star played a role in promoting Lotte Duty Free in foreign countries, we wanted to show reliable and authentic content to Koreans through the letter, " Nam said. Lotte Duty Free has teamed up with Influence to try out shopping entertainment and introduced contents with hallyu stars that have story lines such as web dramas and music videos. " Recently, we are planning to establish a pool in the global economy by selecting not only countries where Lotte Duty Free is already in the market, but also Australia, the United States and Europe, " said Nam Gong-hee, the manager of the company. http://biz.newdaily.co.kr/site/data/html/2019/10/07/2019100700167.html
