[62098] A wave of sales promotions in the VPN market in Iran: time-limited discounted prices
VPN Market Update: Flash Sales and Inventory Changes
Over the past 24 hours, high volatility has been reported in the sale of VPN services on popular Telegram channels in Iran. The channel 🛒 𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐏 (کد تخفیف اسنپ فود) 🛒, known for promoting "market" deals on technology products, announced a limited sale of data volume at a price of 105 thousand Tomans per gigabyte.
According to ATHENA SHOP's report, the sale was accompanied by urgency tactics, with inventory opening and closing intermittently due to "high response." The channel emphasized that due to technical limitations in the payment gateway, a minimum purchase threshold of 5 gigabytes (equivalent to 525 thousand Tomans) was set, with the assurance that it is a "promotion intended to keep a promise to customers."
At the same time, other channels in the market demonstrated a similar activity pattern. RED VPN فیلترشکن قوی updated its users that the sale was temporarily closed, with plans for a reopening in the evening hours, which indicates a high demand load or strict inventory management by the providers.
The phenomenon reflects the efforts of consumers in Iran to bypass network censorship by purchasing private VPN services, with providers exploiting the country's geopolitical internet situation to create flash sale models based on artificial scarcity.
