When we first started in 2012, “good market” (Vietnamese meaning of Cho Tot) is an unconventional term in Vietnam. Now there are average 9 out of 10 Vietnamese people who are aware of Cho Tot when asking about selling and buying in any category. We serve more than 10 million users on our site who generate approximately 1 billion page views and nearly 2 million new listed items every month.
