In an effort to invigorate the local economy and support businesses within Gangwon Province, Gangwon The Mall has rolled out a significant "Consumption Promotion Special Exhibition." This initiative, running for 35 days from April 27th to May 31st, aims to stimulate consumer spending amidst challenging economic conditions, including high prices and inflation.

The centerpiece of this promotion is a generous 30% discount coupon applicable to all products available on the platform. Recognizing the need for accessibility, these coupons will be distributed weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3 PM, operating on a first-come, first-served basis. This strategic timing and limited availability are designed to create a sense of urgency and encourage active participation from consumers.

We hope this exhibition will help restore consumer sentiment that has been weakened by high prices.

Gangwon The Mall, operated by the Gangwon Economic Promotion Agency, serves as a vital online marketplace for small and medium-sized enterprises in the province, offering a diverse range of products from agricultural and fishery goods to processed foods. This promotion is not just a sales event; it's a strategic policy aimed at ensuring the vitality and growth of Gangwon's local enterprises.
