marketing, sell, trade

About this kanji

The kanji 「販」 primarily means marketing or selling and is often used in a business context. It usually appears in compounds rather than standing alone, as it does not have a kun'yomi reading. For example, 販売 (はんばい) means 'sale,' referring to the act of selling goods. Another common compound is 再販 (さいはん), which means 'resale,' used to describe selling something again. 市販 (しはん) means 'putting on the market,' and you might encounter 自販 (じはん), meaning 'automatic vending,' referring to machines that sell products. When using these terms, remember that they are mainly associated with commerce and transactions.

Example sentences

• 新商品を販促するための会議がある。

  There is a meeting to promote the new product.
