[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] The Korea Management Innovation Small and Medium Business Association (MainBiz Association) announced on the 21st that it has launched a "Good Consumer Movement" through advance payments at restaurants to promote win-win cooperation with small business owners who are going through difficult times due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Seok Yongchan, president of the MainBiz Association, and the staff visited 'Seoulbonga Seolleongtang' in Sungin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul the day before and made advance payments, deciding to use the funds for employee meal expenses and other purposes.

The Good Consumer Movement is an activity in which individuals or corporations purchase goods and services produced by small business owners through advance payment methods to support small business owners affected by COVID-19.

Earlier, on the 13th, the MainBiz Association signed a business agreement with five cooperative organizations including the Small and Medium Business Technology Innovation Association, Korea Women Entrepreneurs Association, and Federation of Small Businesses to expand the Good Consumer Movement. The recent visit and advance payment at Seoulbonga Seolleongtang is a follow-up measure to practice the Good Consumer Movement.

The association plans to take the lead in purchasing products from local small business owners, such as those in Pungmul Market in Sinseol-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul. It also intends to actively promote the movement nationwide by encouraging participation from seven regional federations to which MainBiz Association member companies belong.

President Seok said, "Due to COVID-19, the real economy has contracted, and both small and medium enterprises and small business owners are facing difficulties. To overcome this unprecedented economic crisis, the virtue of mutual help and coexistence is necessary."
