Operation of 'Hope Market,' a Dedicated Hall for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

Oasis Market announced on the 12th that the sales of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that entered the SME-exclusive section 'Hope Market' last year grew by up to 300%, marking a successful conclusion.


Hope Market is an SME-exclusive section established through the SME Hope Foundation and operated from May to November last year. Since 2021, Oasis Market has signed a business agreement with the Hope Foundation to support SME platforms and has been helping SMEs expand their sales channels for three years.

When entering through the Hope Foundation support project, SMEs are given the opportunity to convert to direct purchase products through consulting with Oasis Market MDs and also receive benefits such as exposure in special price slots. Direct purchase products are those purchased and directly delivered by Oasis Market, which is said to enable stable sales growth.


Cheongdowon Gam, whose main product is dried persimmons, is also a representative SME that started direct transactions through the support project. After converting to direct purchase, sales grew, increasing by 256% within six months of entering Hope Market, and the number of products listed continues to grow.


Jinseok Jeong, CEO of Cheongdowon Gam, said, "We were able to settle stably in the e-commerce market through close communication with the responsible MD during the entry process," adding, "Our uncompromising commitment to producing healthy and safe high-quality products has come to light through meeting Oasis Market." Currently, Cheongdowon Gam is preparing to take on the challenge of becoming a global brand based on domestic sales.


Oasis Market plans to continue its win-win approach with SMEs this year as well. A representative of Oasis Market stated, "We will discover hidden excellent SME products and create a virtuous cycle structure that simultaneously enhances Oasis Market's competitiveness and benefits SMEs."
