Easy selection of suitable gifts and convenient and fast payment method, online gift purchase is attracting consumers.

Dinh The Long, Sales Manager of DHC Cosmetics Vietnam, said customers are switching to online shopping. 

“In my opinion, online shopping is developing as customers are provided with detailed information about products. Its’ convenient that customers don't have to come to the showroom,” said Long.
