Hidayah: So, from the variety of your product, which one get the most attraction from the customers?
Seller: So far, our product is the product that people need, so Coway which meant Cooperation Way is to bring wellness. So the consumer goods in Coway have 4 things which is air filter, water filter, toilet use and shower. All these is advance product because this product come from Korea where in Korea, this product already known for almost 30 years and had been done with specific researched complete with R&D. Korea is the second producer of water filter in the world after US. So, what we target here is water and air filter.
Hidayah: So, how about the response that you get from the customer so far?
Seller: When we talked about consumer goods, we target all kind of people either new bridal or family. So the most response I get is for water filter and some for air filter. But water filter is something that people like to compare with other brand in the market. When they use the local product, they had waste their money because after a few years, they will change to other product. But they already know from he advertisement and internet, that Coway is the best product. Many sectors had used our product either government or private.
Hidayah: So one of the reasons why people attract to this product is because the product is already established.
Seller: Yes, right!
