"Support for SMEs to Enter Online Shopping Malls" ... Gyeongbuk Province's 'Sale Festa' Throughout May

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Young-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do announced on the 28th that it will hold the 'Gyeongbuk Sale Festa' for one month starting from the 1st of next month on five major online shopping malls to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small business owners who are experiencing sales declines and difficulties in market development due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Gyeongsangbuk-do will specially support SMEs by providing main page advertisements, product introduction page production, and discount coupons on online shopping malls such as Coupang, Wemakeprice, Tmon, Korea Post Shopping, and Gongyoung Shopping.

Through this, the entry barrier for SMEs to online shopping malls will be lowered, and consumers will have the opportunity to purchase excellent products from about 500 companies, including food, daily necessities, and infant and children's fashion, at discounts of up to 80%.

After the May special exhibition, Gyeongsangbuk-do plans to continue supporting online shopping mall entries by accepting applications through the Gyeongbuk Economic Promotion Agency until December this year.

As a follow-up measure, a separate packaging design renewal package project will be carried out, and a design consulting support project is also planned to promote products to consumers and increase their purchasing motivation.

Lee Cheol-woo, Governor of Gyeongsangbuk-do, said, "Through the online shopping mall special exhibition tailored to the Untact consumption culture trend, I hope that Gyeongbuk's message preparing for the post-COVID era will be delivered to SMEs and small business owners struggling due to COVID-19."
