During the three-day Special Event, a Live Commerce promotion event will take place– live commerce becoming a core consumption channel for an untact economy–and focus on products of traditional markets, small and medium-sized enterprises, small business owners, etc.
Live commerce is an effective method for promoting and selling products of small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners with relatively low brand awareness because it allows the delivery of detailed product information through real-time interaction.
Furthermore, live commerce has the advantage of allowing consumers to purchase products and at the same time, provide fun as well as informative contents such as answering to product Q&A through real-time chat. The main purpose of emphasizing live commerce for the Special Event is to highlight that it is an important channel for revitalizing the domestic market in the untact and digital post-Coronavirus era, and also to express the government's political will to support small and medium-sized enterprises as well as small business owners.
Specifically, live commerce session for the Special Event will be held at special studios in Seoul Olympic Park KSPO Dome as collaborations between private platforms of live commerce and Dongban-mall, a public platform.
Sales products consist of food, lifestyle, fashion, beauty, and electronic items. There will be three studios that will broadcast one or two items per hour through Dongban-mall (TV &Platform) and private channels (Naver & TMON).
Meanwhile, major government officials including ministers of each department and celebrities will appear as show hosts to promote and sell products by grabbing the consumers’ interests with eye-catching contents.
Minister of Ocean and Fisheries, Moon Seong-hyeok, Minister of Gender Equality and Family, Lee Jung-ok, will appear on July 1, and Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economy and Finance, Hong Nam-ki and Minister of SMEs and Startups, Park Young-sun, will appear on July 2.
During the last three days, Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy, Sung Yun-mo, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Park Yang-woo, and Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Kim Hyeonsoo, will take part and contribute to the spread of untact consumer culture.
In particular, live commerce broadcasts which will feature Minister Park Young-sun of MSS on July 2, will be planned as a special sessionforregional food products of Daegu and Gyeongbuk that have been suffering from falling sales due to COVID-19. These include sales of plums (Uiseong), garlic (Uiseong), and Nadrijjolmyeon-Korean spicy chewy noodle(Yeongju).
