-You can now use and earn TーPOINT on Japan's largest fashion online shopping site-
Start Today Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, CEO: Yusaku Maezawa, hereinafter referred to as "Start Today"), operator of Japan's largest fashion online shopping site "ZOZOTOWN", and Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Muneaki Masuda, hereinafter referred to as "CCC"), operator of Japan's largest shared points service "T-POINT", have entered into a business partnership agreement to introduce the T-POINT service, and will launch the T-POINT service on "ZOZOTOWN" from April 3, 2012.
The T-POINT service is Japan's largest shared points service, used daily by 38.71 million customers*1, equivalent to one in three people in Japan, and can be used at approximately 44,000 stores of 83 alliance companies. Customers who have a T-CARD can earn T-POINT based on the amount they spend by presenting and registering their T-CARD at participating stores and services such as TSUTAYA, FamilyMart, ENEOS, Gusto, Doutor Coffee Shop, Kitamura Camera, Autobacs, Alpen, and Yahoo! Shopping. These T-POINT can then be used at participating stores and services at a rate of 1 point = 1 yen. Meanwhile, ZOZOTOWN is one of Japan's largest fashion online shopping sites, with 4.56 million members and over 1,800 popular brands, including UNITED ARROWS, BEAMS, and SHIPS, and always stocking over 130,000 of the latest fashion items.
With this new service, customers who log in to ZOZOTOWN with their T-ID*2 and select T-POINT when shopping on ZOZOTOWN can use T-POINT at a rate of 1 point = 1 yen. Additionally, when shopping on ZOZOTOWN, you can earn 1 T-POINT for every 100 yen (excluding tax).
Since January 2012, the number of female members at CCC has exceeded the number of male members for the first time, and as usage by female members continues to expand, CCC will aim to provide a more satisfying T-POINT service that spans both the real world and the online world through this partnership with Start Today.
Following on from its previous collaborations with Yahoo! JAPAN and mixi, Start Today will now collaborate with CCC to create opportunities for new customers who have not yet used ZOZOTOWN. At the same time, we aim to further increase customer satisfaction by improving usability by making T-POINT available for use on ZOZOTOWN and allowing customers to shop using their existing T-ID.
