What’s next: Virtual stores, vending machines, click & collect
Vingroup chose 20 points in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to officially launch the VinMart virtual store 4.0 which allows users to buy a product by scanning its QR code via smartphone. The products are listed on large banners in crowded public areas such as bus stations and office buildings, offering delivery within 2-4 hours.
There is an increasing number of vending machines in public areas i.e. bus station and soon metro stations. The format which skews more to younger consumer groups is potential for drinks & snacks brands to win impulse purchases. It is expected to see more in the near future.
