What kind of company is Pinkoi? We decided it\u2019s time to say hi as a Pinkoi team and reveal our true identities: shopaholics always on the prowl for good food because we work hard supporting some of the weirdest designs. Are we too honest? Well, this is your chance to meet us, so here we go!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019re shopaholics<\/h2>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s buy something from this Pinkoi shop together!\u201d Group purchase is a popular culture in Taiwan: people share information about good products and buy together to save on shipping costs. In our office chat app Slack, we have a buy-together chat channel to make it easy for Pinkoists to spend our salary right here on Pinkoi<\/a>. Working with the Pinkoi site all day means we\u2019re always discovering great designs, and being in a good team means it\u2019s easy to jump on a teammate\u2019s bandwagon for a group order.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let\u2019s see what we\u2019ve got here. From top left clockwise, we have skin care from Daughter<\/a>, \u00a0brooches from Alpacka Brothers<\/a>, more brooches from Sumomo<\/a>,\u00a0colorful spoons from Come To<\/a> and bags from Yizistore<\/a>\u2026 from small accessories to bigger investments, from Taiwan to Japan to Thailand to China and beyond, the orders shipping to Pinkoi office will keep coming! Perhaps being a Pinkoist means having the will to shop even if we\u2019re going to be pinching pennies for the rest of the month.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We eat…. a lot<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The scientific explanation is that the more you work your brain, the easier you get hungry. We are so hungry all the time that we have a snack area to sustain our lives as a team. If that\u2019s not enough, watch how we start invading other Pinkoist\u2019s personal snack drawers. Forget the logical explanations\u2014just be aware that becoming a Pinkoist means gaining weight!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t slack<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We start getting crazy busy weeks before major events like Pinkoi Fairs, Year End Party, and seasonal events like Chinese New Year, Christmas and Pinkoi Anniversary. We design all the events in-house, and do everything ourselves from conception to producing visuals to coding to wrapping gifts. Every event we produce is produced with blood, sweat and tears (okay, maybe not).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We support diversity<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Diverse design matters. Tons of designers with amazing creativity sell their design products on Pinkoi. With their refreshing\u2014sometimes unusual\u2014ideas, customers can add sparks of joy and humor to their lives. Here are just a few examples:<\/p>\n
