'Sosang Gongin X SSG' Special Exhibition Sales Analysis

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] SSG.com announced on the 7th that sales of over 280 small business vendors participating in the ‘Small Business X SSG’ event from June to December last year increased by about 45% compared to the same period the previous year, based on an analysis of their sales data.

This event has been held since June of the same year as part of the ‘Support Agreement for Small Business Online Shopping Mall Entry’ signed in May last year between SSG.com and the Small and Medium Business Distribution Center, a public institution under the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. About 280 small business vendors mainly dealing in agricultural, marine, livestock products, and processed foods are participating, with a total of approximately 3,800 product varieties.

The vendor showing the highest sales growth trend is the agricultural, marine, and livestock product supplier Irum C&G. Irum C&G grew more than twice compared to the same period the previous year, led by meat gift sets and seasonal fruits. It also ranked in the top 20% in sales among meat and egg vendors. Eco-friendly Paldo, a Jeolla-do Hanwoo processing company, showed a growth rate of about 123% during the same period. New vendor Ondo Co., Ltd., which joined SSG.com in August last year, sells an average of 20 million KRW per month through its main product, same-day delivery fresh sashimi.

SSG.com plans to actively practice win-win cooperation with partner companies by continuously promoting these products in connection with its brand power. From January 7 to 13, a one-week ‘Small Business X SSG Excellent Food’ event will be held, offering up to 30% discounts on 3,200 representative products selected by small business vendors. The event will include a ‘the more you buy, the more you save’ structure, providing various customer benefits to capture New Year demand.

Ahead of the traditional Lunar New Year holiday, a ‘Small Business X SSG Holiday Set’ event will be held for two weeks from January 18 to 31. This event introduces excellent small business brands such as ‘Cheongdam Hanwoo,’ ‘Clean Jeju Black Pork,’ and ‘Woori Sanghoe Sesame Oil,’ offering event products at up to 30% discount, with additional holiday gift set discount promotions applied.

Lee Myung-geun, head of grocery at SSG.com, said, “This event was prepared to support small business owners who are struggling due to difficulties in opening sales channels despite their excellent quality,” and added, “We plan to continuously strive for mutual growth with our partners based on SSG.com’s online capabilities.”
