Jakarta, April 27, 2022 – For Indonesians, mudik travel is a common way of keeping in touch with their relatives and loved ones after a long while. Ahead of this year’s Eid celebrations, VP of Marketplace Tokopedia Yudhiaji Kusuma provided several tips to help people prepare more carefully for their journey home.
1. Ensure Sufficient E-Money Balance – Before traveling, make sure that you have enough electronic money (e-money) balance so that you don’t hinder other people’s journeys.
"Everyone can now easily top up their e-money balance anytime anywhere with the Top Up Uang Elektronik feature on Tokopedia. After the payment has been verified, don't forget to update your e-money balance from the Tokopedia app, ATM, or the nearest retail outlet," said Yudhiaji.
2. Shop for Eid Outfits Safely from Home – Online shopping continues to be a safer way to shop should you wish to avoid contracting and spreading the virus in crowded places. Towards the end of Ramadan, people can purchase new clothes to wear during Eid through online retailers on Tokopedia such as the Matahari Department Store Official Store.
The Matahari Department Store Official Store has a wide range of fashion products for women, men, to kids. Discounts of up to 70% and cashback offers of up to Rp. 150,000 are also available.
3. Top Up Mobile Phone Credits and Data Packages – Prepare your mobile phone credits and data packages beforehand to maintain communication with your loved ones. This is also useful to ensure a smooth journey to your destination and back home. “Through Tokopedia, customers can easily and quickly top up their phone credits dan data packages for all mobile operators without having to leave the house,” explained Yudhiaji.
4. Settle Bills On Time – Before leaving on mudik travel, don’t forget to pay your electricity, water, gas, internet and cable TV, and other bills before they are due. Customers can use Tokopedia to conveniently settle these bills.
5. Sellers, Manage Your Stores Before Traveling – Sellers who don’t go on mudik travel and will keep their stores open during the Eid period should add more couriers to ensure that deliveries to customers are made without delays.
“For sellers who are going home for Eid, don’t forget to turn on the Tutup Toko feature, which will notify customers that the store is temporarily closed. The system will also automatically reject any new orders for closed stores, so sellers don’t have to bother to cancel orders that they can’t fulfill while away from home,” Yudhiaji suggested.
Through Yudhiaji, Tokopedia also appealed to those planning to go on mudik travel to keep following health protocols. “Let’s stay safe by following the prevailing health protocols, especially during this year’s Ramadan and Eid,” concluded Yudhiaji.
