"Boosting Local Product Competitiveness"... Gmarket Joins Gyeongbuk Hometown Market 'Saiso'

Gmarket announced on the 3rd that it will strengthen the online competitiveness of local products by partnering with local governments.

Gmarket and Auction, Korea's leading online marketplaces, will officially list Gyeongbuk hometown market ‘Saiso’ and start selling 235 types of Gyeongbuk specialty products from the 4th.

Saiso is a shopping mall managed by the Gyeongsangbuk-do Agricultural and Food Distribution Education Promotion Foundation under the commission of Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, playing various roles to promote Gyeongbuk's agricultural specialty products and connect them with consumers.

Gmarket and Auction will showcase Saiso's products through system integration. They also plan to continuously launch collaborative promotions reflecting seasonal demand.

To celebrate the official listing, a discount event will be held for two months until the 30th of next month, offering discounts on various Gyeongbuk specialties such as dried persimmons, rice, shiitake mushrooms, and Shine Muscat grapes. In September, reflecting the Chuseok season, they plan to carefully select and present high-quality specialty products perfect for gift sets and ancestral rites food. Representative products include premium fruit and mushroom gift sets from excellent Gyeongbuk farms, red ginseng extract, and 1++ grade Korean beef.

Discount benefits will also be provided. From September 4th to 30th, about one month, ‘20% overlapping coupons’ will be offered five times daily. These coupons can be used together with the ‘Chuseok Big Sale’ exclusive coupons from Gmarket and Auction, held from the 11th to the 26th, making them highly useful.

Kim Taeyeon, manager of Gmarket's fresh food team, said, “We are strengthening collaboration with local governments so that excellent local agricultural specialty products can be easily enjoyed anywhere in the country,” adding, “Through this Saiso listing, customers will be able to meet the best products carefully selected by Gyeongbuk at reasonable direct transaction prices.”
