On June 1, 2023, Nojima Co., Ltd. (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President and CEO Hiroshi Nojima) launched the “Energy Saving Home Appliances Simultaneous Price Reduction Ultra Satisfaction Sale” leading-up to the start of the summer season, when household budgets are under increasing strain due to higher electricity rates. The event is centered on air conditioners, refrigerators, lighting fixtures, and TVs, which account for the majority of energy expenditures. In conjunction with the sale, they are also holding a "Review Your Smartphone (Mobile Phone) Charges Campaign" to support customers by directly reducing their living expenses.

◇ Points of Nojima's “Energy Saving Home Appliances Simultaneous Price Reduction Ultra Satisfaction Sale”

・ Now that electricity bills are rising, it's time to lower the price of energy-saving home appliances as a "power-saving measure at home"!

In response to the June 1st electricity rate hikes of up to 42% by seven major electric power companies, Nojima is supporting the replacement of home appliances with energy-saving ones by offering substantial price cuts of up to 50,000 yen off the retail price, mainly on air conditioners and refrigerators, which account for approximately 70% of home electricity bills in the summer.

・Nojima, the only electronics specialty store without a manufacturer's sales representative, will not only provide product information, but will also "share" information on how to save money on electricity bills and how to use electronics wisely!

In this project, Ultraman collaborates with Nojima's "Energy Conservation Consultant" employees who have knowledge related to energy conservation, and "Communication Cost Consultants" who have knowledge about careers and plans, to fight price hikes for various items such as electricity and groceries at home and protect your household budget!

In addition, Nojima's customer service policy of "consulting sales" that recommends products that suit each customer's needs without being beholden to the manufacturer, is at the heart of their efforts to provide the ultra customer service to ensure customer satisfaction after the purchase.

・"High-quality air conditioner construction and product delivery"

Nojima's motto is "customer satisfaction" and "peace of mind," and we are trying to be the best in Japan -- no, the universe! -- for quality air conditioner installation and product delivery. Since the environment for air conditioner installation and delivery of large products differs from house to house, it is essential to be flexible in addition to having a wealth of experience. At Nojima, their installation staff with solid knowledge and skills carry out the installation work with kindness and courtesy.

Period: Thursday, June 1 to Thursday, August 31, 2023

In the IoT era, in which all home appliances are connected via the Internet and mobile devices, the Nojima Group aims to evolve into a total solution provider that offers new value as a familiar consultant for the smart life envisioned by customers themselves.

Nojima’s customer service policy is something we call “consulting sales,” which means to offer products tailored to the preferences of each individual customer. We are the only home electronics specialty store that continues to propose products that meet the needs of our customers on an equal basis regardless of manufacturer or carrier. We do this all through our own employees rather than use staff dispatched by manufacturers and carriers, which is the norm in the home electronics industry.

The Nojima Group currently operates digital home appliance stores in the Tokyo metropolitan area, carrier shops nationwide, the Internet, and stores overseas. With a focus on digital home appliances, we are creating a group structure that offers a variety of choices and support to allow our customers to enjoy their day-to-day with convenience. As a consultant who enriches the lives of our customers, we at Nojima aim to provide impressive service that exceeds customer expectations.
