The Super Bowl is the most watched annual sporting event in the United States and a marketing dream for companies looking to reach a wide audience. The Chinese shopping platform Temu- Team Up, Price down was able to secure an ad slot during the game.
The fashion industry’s attention was captured by the ad campaign, and the app shot to the top of the US Apple store in record time. This has led many in the fashion industry to consider it a serious threat to Shein, a Chinese online fast fashion retailer. Temu has caught a lot of attention after 6 months all thanks to the sporting event.
One commercial that played made it clear that shopping at Temu, customers are allowed to ‘shop like a billionaire’ because the cost of the items is less than US $ 10 but they look aesthetically rich.
According to Forbes, bargain pricing and cheap shipping are hallmarks of the platform, which offers customers the option to browse items available for less than 3 dollars.
The app provides access to deep discounts across 12 distinct product categories and also provides discounts up to 25 per cent more than Shein’s, with prices ranging from an electric toothbrush at US $ 5 to a sequin-stitched dress at less than US $ 12.
Boston-based parent company PDD Holdings, which also runs the Pinduoduo app, hopes that Temu will attract price-conscious members of Generation Z by offering ultra-low pricing strategies spearheaded by group purchases.
