Goheung-gun, 10% Special Discount on Goheung Love Gift Certificates for Lunar New Year Holiday
Best Efforts to Overcome the COVID-19 Crisis and Revitalize Local Businesses
[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 4th that it will promote a ‘10% Special Discount on Goheung Love Gift Certificates for the Lunar New Year Holiday’ to protect small business owners struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and to revitalize the shrinking local commercial district.
This special discount runs from the 1st of this month until the 28th of next month and can be purchased at 43 financial institutions including 30 local agricultural and livestock cooperatives, fisheries cooperatives, credit unions (Nokdong, Podu), Saemaeul Geumgo (Goheung, Nokdong), and the Forestry Cooperative.
Individuals purchasing with cash can buy up to 500,000 KRW at a 10% discounted face value price, while franchise owners, youths under 19 years old, and corporations (organizations) are restricted from purchasing at the discounted price.
The Goheung Love Gift Certificate can be used at 2,000 registered franchise stores (traditional markets, restaurants, marts, gas stations, pharmacies, etc.), and franchise applications can be submitted at the respective eup/myeon offices (Industry Team) at any time.
Last year, 38 billion KRW worth of certificates were issued, with 9.2 billion KRW sold through special discounts, which was confirmed to have a positive impact on increasing small business sales and overcoming the local economic downturn.
Additionally, to enhance user convenience and reduce illegal distribution such as proxy purchases, a card-type Goheung Love Gift Certificate is scheduled to be launched in January.
