Junggi Distribution Center "Supporting Small Business Owners' Own Mall Creation"... Recruiting Participating Companies

The Small and Medium Business Distribution Center announced on the 8th that it is recruiting companies to participate in the '2024 Small Business Owner Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) Support Project.'

The D2C support project, part of the small business owner online sales channel support initiative, was established to strengthen the competitiveness and self-sustainability of small business owners in the online market amid intensified competition due to the recent influx of foreign large-scale distribution platforms.

The project supports small business owners in building their own online shopping malls, with a plan to select a total of 30 companies this year. Selected small business owners will receive support for consulting, education, marketing, statistical analysis data provision, and aftercare necessary for building new D2C malls. They can submit company and product information and receive support for customized mall construction and content creation. To be eligible, applicants must meet the following conditions: handling and selling consumer goods, possession of a Small and Medium Enterprise confirmation certificate, possession of a mail-order business registration certificate, and not owning their own online shopping mall. The application deadline is the 19th.

Lee Tae-sik, CEO of the Small and Medium Business Distribution Center, said, "The entry of foreign large-scale distribution platforms has narrowed the space for domestic small and medium enterprises and small business owners due to intensified price discount competition. Through this support project, we will actively assist small business owners in establishing self-sustainability in the online market by reducing commission fees and marketing costs associated with large distribution platforms."
