Busan Non-Face-to-Face Chuseok Shopping Event Unfolds... Dongbaek Mall 'Happy Chuseok' to Revitalize Small Businesses and Consumers

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan City has prepared a non-face-to-face consumption promotion event to celebrate Chuseok.

Busan City announced on the 3rd that various events will be held on the online local product mall ‘Dongbaek Mall’ until the 22nd.

Dongbaek Mall is an online marketplace where the Busan local currency Dongbaekjeon can be used. It was created to expand the online usage of Dongbaekjeon and to broaden the non-face-to-face sales channels for small business owners in the Busan area.

To increase sales for small business owners during Chuseok, Busan City is promoting ▲coupon issuance, ▲a donation event sharing warmth with the local community, and ▲special price product exhibitions.

They offer a 5% discount coupon (up to 10,000 KRW) for first purchases and shopping support.

The discount can be up to 20,000 KRW, and coupons are issued on a first-come, first-served basis.

To encourage consumption of domestic agricultural and livestock products during Chuseok, a 20% discount coupon (up to 20,000 KRW) will also be provided.

A donation event for child welfare facilities in the Busan area will also be held. On the event page, if you write a blessing message to a child, the operator of Dongbaek Mall will donate a set of nuts produced by self-support enterprises to child welfare facilities in Busan on your behalf as a gift.

Additionally, through a special price product exhibition for holiday gifts, gift sets in various price ranges such as 10,000?20,000 KRW, 30,000?50,000 KRW, 60,000?90,000 KRW, and 100,000 KRW, and by category (agricultural, livestock, and marine products, health foods, etc.) will be sold at special prices.

Park Hyung-jun, Mayor of Busan, said, “I hope this event held at Dongbaek Mall will help expand non-face-to-face sales channels for small business owners and activate online consumption, providing support to local small business owners during this peak season.” He added, “Dongbaek Mall offers over 18,000 diverse products and allows for easy and fast purchases,” expressing his expectation for many citizens to use it.

Dongbaek Mall has been conducting various events, including operating a dedicated channel called ‘Special Price ON’ every Wednesday, where about 20 products are sold at the lowest internet prices or exclusive special prices.
