Whether readers are casual fans or seasoned collectors, this promotion is set to make everyone’s bookshelf a little more exciting and their wallets a little happier.
But what exactly is Comic Carnival 5.0 all about, and why should people head over to their nearest POPULAR or HARRIS outlet? In this article, let’s explore everything this campaign has to offer, from generous discounts and special promotions to engaging family-friendly activities.
A Celebration for Comic Lovers
The Comic Carnival has become an annual highlight for POPULAR Malaysia, and this year, the fifth instalment is set to be bigger and better. It’s not just a simple sale—it’s an all-out campaign filled with offers, contests, lucky draws, and community interaction. It’s the kind of promotion that feels more like a cultural event than a typical bookstore discount.
Running for two full months, Comic Carnival 5.0 gives everyone ample time to explore the offerings at their leisure. The event aims to bring together lovers of comics, parents, students, and educators while creating a fun and engaging environment to shop, participate, and possibly win big.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss This
1. 10% Rebate on Selected Comic Books
For any comic reader, having access to their favourite series at a discount is always a welcome opportunity. During Comic Carnival 5.0, customers can enjoy a 10% rebate on selected English and Malay comic titles. From classics to current favourites, there’s something for every age and reading taste. This is the perfect time for fans to complete their collections or try something new without the usual price tag.
2. 10% Special Sales for Students in Need of Stationery
POPULAR has long been known for supporting education and literacy, and this initiative is no different. Selected school students are eligible for 10% discounts on stationery, helping families ease their back-to-school budgets while making sure students are equipped for academic success.
This initiative highlights POPULAR’s ongoing dedication to community welfare, especially for families balancing financial concerns with educational needs. It’s more than a discount—it’s a show of support.
3. Great Deals on Stationery, Gadgets, and IT Products
Beyond comics and books, the promotion includes compelling offers on selected stationery, gadgets, and IT accessories. Whether shoppers are looking for school supplies, office materials, or tech gadgets, they can expect reduced prices across multiple categories.
This part of the promotion adds value for shoppers looking beyond comic books—making it a well-rounded reason to visit POPULAR or HARRIS stores even if comics aren’t on their radar.
Buy & Win: A Lucky Draw with RM10,000 Worth of Book Hampers
The stakes have been raised with a special Buy & Win lucky draw campaign. Shoppers who spend RM50 nett and above on selected English or Malay comic books stand a chance to win 1 of 10 book hampers, each worth RM1,000.
For those already planning to stock up on their favourite titles, this promotion is a delightful bonus. The hampers are not only valuable but also curated with items that cater to avid readers—making them both desirable and useful.
This lucky draw adds an exciting layer of anticipation to every purchase. It transforms a regular trip to the bookstore into a potential prize-winning opportunity.
Family Fun: Colouring Contest, Artist Meet & Greets, and Mascot Appearances
Comic Carnival 5.0 isn’t just about shopping—it’s also about community interaction and creativity. A range of in-store activities and events has been organised to create an immersive experience for visitors.
Children’s Colouring Competition
One of the main attractions is the Children’s Colouring Competition, which allows young minds to express their creativity while engaging with art. It’s a brilliant way to keep kids entertained while parents browse the aisles. Details and registration can be found here: https://bit.ly/451KVpj
