JAKARTA - Ahead of school holidays, household needs and holiday supplies usually increase. Starting from suitcases, children's equipment, to new gadgets for documentation, everything feels important.

But don't let the budget break just because there is a lack of strategy when shopping online. With the right planning, you can meet all your needs without having to drain your wallet.

To accommodate this need, several e-commerce platforms present various discount programs and special promotions at the end of June 2025.

One example is the program which took place on June 25, 2025 from BliBli Pay Day or BPD, which offers various discounts, cashbacks, and free shipping to ease consumer shopping expenses.

"We understand that school holidays are an important moment for family quality time, but the preparation sometimes drains energy and takes time. Through this June BPD, we want to help customers meet all holiday needs from one platform, from transportation tickets, accommodation, to travel equipment, in a practical and fun way," said Wilson Kiantoro, Head of Campaign Blibli in his statement.

The purpose of holding this program is to make it easier for the community to meet various needs from one place, including vacation needs such as travel tickets, accommodation, to personal equipment and children.

This program also reflects the trend of consumers who now prefer to shop digitally on one platform, especially ahead of holidays that usually require extra planning and spending.
