The Kyoto Chuo Shinkin Bank funded the construction and promotion of the mall, and we took charge of all aspects of the mall’s operation and sales.
As of July 1, 2012, there were 67 participating companies and 426 SKUs of products handled, and 650 items had been purchased as of the end of June after the opening.
Foods and alcoholic beverages are particularly hot sellers, with sweets and butter made with matcha green tea, sake and plum wine, and seasonings such as furikake and dashi being the best-selling items.
Also popular are cosmetics unique to Kyoto, such as perfume paste and face masks.
This initiative has started as a support business for Kyoto Chuo Shinkin Bank’s business partners, and we will promote the products on display by sending out messages from influencers who have a large number of followers on SNS, called KOL (Key Opinion Leader), and by live streaming. We promote the sales of the products on display.
In addition to product sales, the promotion will also include the dissemination of information related to the company and the region, and recognition activities to encourage people to come to After Corona as a future travel destination.
The number of daily users of the mini-program running on WeChat is said to be 400 million. In addition, the world’s largest EC market in China, where it is difficult for SMEs to enter due to high costs and fierce competition, a dedicated EC mall will be built by a regional financial institution, which will organize SMEs and their products into a “regional brand,” enabling many SMEs to enter the market at a low cost. This will enable many SMEs to enter the market at a low cost.
