When grocery chain Tesco wanted to expand their market share in South Korea, they came up with a brilliant idea. Because the people in South Korea work long hours they thought of an efficient way to sell their products. The Korean subsidiary Home Plus put up billboards in subway stations with their range of products, accompanied by QR, or Quick Response codes. All people had to do now is scan the QR codes with their cell phone and the groceries were delivered to their doorsteps.

Visit designbuildsource.com.au to read the full article Construction of a new shopping strip in South Korea is completely revolutionising the entire shopping experience. It is also having a monumental industry impact. Instead of carpenters undertaking a store fit out, it is IT experts and engineers that are putting together this one of a kind shopping strip. Tesco's Korean network, Home Plus is the second largest supermarket chain. In order to defeat their number one competitor they devised a revolutionary plan that meant that even with less physical shopping locations, the supermarket giants could increase their revenue. Instead of creating more place for the world's second hardest workers to go to as a weekly chore, they devised a system whereby shopping could be completed on the daily commute home. What was born from this notion was virtual supermarket. Located in Gangnam South Seoul in South Korea, in the subway to be completely precise, Korean's, with the aid of their smartphones (the country is home to 10 million of them) can purchase items from coloured glass covered posters lining the walls thanks to some very innovative technology.
