Protection and Easy Installments Become New Trend in Gadget Shopping
The retail gadget industry is no longer solely reliant on discount wars. Consumers are increasingly considering device protection, financing ease, and after-sales service before purchasing new gadgets.
This shift in consumer behaviour is evident in the programmes offered at Blibli XPO 2026, held from 27-31 May 2026 at the Main Atrium of Grand Indonesia East Mall in Jakarta. The exhibition, organised by PT Global Digital Niaga Tbk through its subsidiary PT Global Teknologi Niaga (GTNi), features digital device promotions with added value in protection services and flexible payment schemes.
“Blibli XPO 2026 is a must-visit destination for tech-savvy consumers seeking maximum value in their purchases. We are offering top promotions to make gadget upgrades more convenient, secure, and profitable,” said Wisnu Iskandar, CEO of GTNi.
Visitors can enjoy discounts of up to Rp5 million on devices, additional trade-in discounts of up to Rp3 million, and credit card promotions with extra savings of up to Rp1.5 million. Limited-time offers include zero-interest instalment plans exclusively for BCA credit card users.
However, discounts are not the sole attraction. Consumers are also paying attention to device protection, particularly for high-value premium gadgets.
Through the event’s programmes, buyers can secure comprehensive protection for up to 36 months on activated devices, designed to mitigate usage risks from the point of purchase.
Additionally, easy financing schemes are increasingly important. To meet this demand, a triple-zero instalment programme offers 0% interest, 0% processing fees, and no administrative costs for device purchases.
Retail industry observers view this trend as part of consumers becoming more cautious in purchasing electronics, with many considering device investment security and payment flexibility amid rising daily technology needs.
Meanwhile, experiential shopping remains a key draw. Visitors can test the latest devices such as the MacBook Neo, Huawei Fit5 Series, and OPPO Find X9, alongside wearables, premium audio gadgets, tablets, and digital accessories.
Attendees can also consult experts to compare device specifications according to their needs and participate in interactive talk shows throughout the event.
This trend shows that gadget shopping is evolving into a more comprehensive service experience. Consumers are no longer just seeking the lowest prices but also comfort, protection, and assured after-sales service.
