Halmek Launches 'Halmekevents'
Halmek, recognized as Japan's No. 1 bestselling magazine, has announced a significant overhaul of its event site. The newly designed platform, 'Halmekevents,' is set to go live on November 5, 2025. This initiative aims to enrich the lives of women aged 50 and above by making event information more accessible based on personal interests and lifestyles. Through refined design and functionality, participants can now find enjoyable and reassuring experiences at various events organized by Halmek.
Background of 'Halmekevents'
The Halmek Group has always been dedicated to supporting women from their 50s onward, as stated in their guiding principle: “Helping women live better from their 50s.” Their operations are divided into three primary sectors: content development centered around the Halmek magazine, retail activities through e-commerce and direct sales, and community ventures that involve events and seminars. Among these, the community sector holds special importance, as it cultivates direct connections with customers, thereby nurturing a loyal fanbase.
In the past, Halmek has hosted an array of events tailored for readers of the magazine and customers of their online shopping platform. These have included lectures by notable personalities featured in the magazine, experiential courses based on magazine content, and outdoor events focused on activities like flower observation, architecture appreciation, and gourmet experiences. In the current fiscal year, they have exceeded 200 events, witnessing approximately 20,000 attendees enjoying the rich universe that Halmek encapsulates, beyond just the magazine and e-commerce.
Looking ahead, Halmek aspires to create a space that welcomes not just its current readers, but also anyone interested in embarking on new ventures or meeting like-minded individuals. The launch of 'Halmekevents' is driven by a desire to facilitate easy access for a broader audience to discover events that resonate with them.
Features of 'Halmekevents'
The new 'Halmekevents' site offers a user-friendly design and enhanced functionalities to streamline the process from event discovery to participation.
1.
Expanded Search Features: Users can now easily search for events categorized by themes such as beauty, health, food, and walks, as well as formats like experiences, viewings, and online participation. This nuanced search function allows for tailored event discovery.
2.
New Owned Media Features: The platform will also feature updates and reports from past events, sharing participant experiences in a report format. This will allow potential attendees, who have yet to join any events, to absorb the atmosphere, leading to increased interest in future participation.
