‘Woongjin Coway’ is feeling the ‘SNSD effect’, as they’ve just reported a 400% increase in sales since the girls began modeling for their brand!

Representatives of Woongjin Coway revealed, “Ever since SNSD’s CF for our ice water purifier first began airing last April, sales for our water purifiers rose 400% in the second quarter compared to the previous year. Our recent releases have also been receiving the same effect, showing a higher rise in sales than ever before.”

SNSD signed on with the brand last March and have been promoting their ‘Coway, Look After Mom’ campaign. They’ve strengthened the brand’s image as the nation’s #1 water purifier and even managed to bring in consumers in their 20’s and 30’s when the brand previously only catered to those in their 40’s and 50’s.

Their influence doesn’t stop there, as Woongjin Coway also recently held an online survey with 100 women (aged between 25 and 39) asking two questions: which water purifier brand do you think of first and which brand do you prefer?

Woongjin Coway came out on top with 81% and 56% of the votes respectively. Their marketing team explained, “SNSD’s CF campaign has not only brought in a rise in sales, but also a new consumer base of those in their 20’s and 30’s. We’ll continue to use innovative marketing tactics with SNSD to continue our mark as the #1 water purifier brand.”

Oh god, are people really willing to buy a water purifier because their favorite idols endorsed it? Jesus.

Well, Lee Seung Gi endorsed some brand of refrigerators and sales totally went up for that brand. So much so that they call it the "Lee Seung Gi refrigerator" now.

First comment seems to be born yesterday and new to consumerism, advertising and idolatry in general.

Really? They're rather mild to me. Like you can tell the flavor is there and it's supposed to be spicy but nowhere near wasabi levels of nose-clearing. Now, Paldo kimchi ramyun is pretty close as far as spicy goes.

Haha crazy cause I don't mind wasabi, like really it doesn't bother me, but I ate Shin ramyun for the first time a few weeks ago and I was crying and couldn't finish the thing :(

you need to try adding cheese. it's the best. :)

From: [identity profile] funkaliciousss.livejournal.com
takes a sliced piece and put it in the pot when you are almost done boiling the noodles and it'll melt into the soup. we always add cheese to make the food not so spicy.

Seriously, I didn't see this Woongjin Coway thing at all while I was in Korea. Maybe I didn't look carefully enough but I couldn't find them in department stores and whatever :/

I doubt the purifier itself has their faces so I'm guessing the box it comes in does?
