[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Gyeongbuk Province is conducting a special discount sale until October 31 on the ‘Gyeongbuk Small Business Hope Market’ pages established and operated on Gmarket and Auction, as well as on Naver Shopping.

This project was newly established last year and has entered its second year this year to strengthen direct sales by small business owners facing management difficulties due to COVID-19 in the online market and to actively respond to the consumer distribution environment.

The province and the Economic Promotion Agency completed the selection of 233 small business owners to participate in the ‘Gyeongbuk Small Business Online Hope Market’ project in July.

The selected small business owners can set their own sales strategies, enter the Gmarket and Auction shopping channels to sell, and also issue their own coupons for sales on Naver Shopping.

Through this, the plan is to induce voluntary online sales and recover the depressed local economy.

This special event runs until October 31, and when purchasing over 9,000 won on Gmarket and Auction, a 20% overlapping discount coupon is issued up to three times per day per ID.

Also, on Naver Shopping, small business owners issue their own coupons of up to 10,000 won and free shipping coupons.

Coupon issuance is limited to 2 million won per business operator and 1 million won for shipping costs, and can only be used within the period, with early exhaustion possible.

To participate and purchase, click the banner in the fresh food section on Gmarket, enter the ‘Gyeongbuk Small Business Hope Market’ page, receive the discount coupons posted on the screen, and then use them.
