“Discounts, cashback, and promos are a huge part of Indonesian daily life. One phenomenon that has skyrocketed over the past ten years as part of this discount and promo culture is e-commerce Harbolnas or monthly ‘double date discounts’. Something that started as an end-of-year activity focused on 12.12 has slowly transformed into a long-term association with double dates from summer until December every year. While this trend began with the shopping and e-commerce sectors, many other industries have also jumped on board, seeing this as a seasonal opportunity to grow their brands.”
