Case study showing how a U.S.-based K-beauty seller used Naver coupon data scraping to craft localized promotions and enter the Korean market.
Entering the South Korean market—one of the most competitive and digitally advanced e-commerce ecosystems in the world—requires more than just product quality and global appeal. For brands to truly succeed in Korea, they must understand the local consumer mindset, pricing behavior, and promotional culture. One of the most powerful local mechanisms driving purchase decisions in Korea is coupon marketing on Naver Shop, the country’s top product search engine.
This case study explores how Actowiz Solutions partnered with a U.S.-based K-beauty brand to track, analyze, and act on Naver Shop coupon data. The result: a successful entry and brand build-out in the South Korean market through hyper-localized promotions, competitive pricing intelligence, and aligned affiliate deals.
The client is a Los Angeles–based skincare brand specializing in K-beauty-inspired formulations. Their global sales were strong in the U.S., UK, and Australia, but they had zero market presence in South Korea despite the Korean origin of their product concepts.
Key client goals:
The client’s U.S. marketing team lacked experience in Korea’s digital commerce and coupon ecosystem.
Korean brands frequently updated deals, used tiered discounts, and adjusted coupons per traffic source or device.
Naver Shop’s native features made it difficult for foreign marketers to track real-time coupon drops without localized tech support or a native-speaking team.
Korean affiliates often prioritized deals with the best coupons, making timely visibility essential to brand inclusion in major deal listings.
Actowiz Solutions was brought on to develop a real-time coupon intelligence system tailored to the South Korean market.
Actowiz collaborated with local Korean affiliates and set up a data-driven promotion calendar, aligning the brand’s coupons with:
Coupon Title (KR) | Translated Title | Discount | Expires | Competitor | Promo Type |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
전상품 25% 할인쿠폰 | 25% Off All Products | 25% | 6/25/2025 | Etude House | Site-wide |
화장품 1+1 특가 | BOGO Skincare Deal | Buy 1 Get 1 | 6/28/2025 | Nature Republic | BOGO / Item-based |
₩10,000 이상 구매시 ₩2,000 할인 | ₩2,000 Off ₩10,000+ Orders | ₩2,000 | 6/30/2025 | Innisfree | Cart Threshold |
회원 전용 20% 할인 | 20% for Members Only | 20% | 7/01/2025 | Round Lab | Member-Exclusive |
This data was used to adjust the U.S. brand’s coupon logic and align with competitive benchmarks.
Actowiz helped the brand partner with a local distributor to set up a Naver Smart Store presence and obtain coupon publication permissions.
Using scraping insights, Actowiz guided the creation of:
The scraped coupon data allowed the team to proactively reach out to Korean affiliate partners with:
Result: Within 3 weeks, the brand was featured in 8+ major Naver deal directories.
