Hello, dear subscribers! On March 25, the Korea Distribution Society and the Korea Federation of SMEs hosted a policy forum on "Enhancing Sales Support for Small Businesses" in Yeouido, Seoul.
With over 100 experts gathered, the event tackled the struggles of small businesses hit by economic downturns and shrinking consumer spending. Professor Yeo Chan-gu analyzed real data to highlight current challenges, stressing the need for overseas sales channels, while Professor Lee Ho-taek pinpointed sluggish sales as the core issue, urging stronger sales support for sustainability.
Supporters say "policy aid is a game-changer for survival," but skeptics argue "short-term fixes won’t cut it."
The forum offered practical solutions too! Ideas included a public B2B marketplace for SMEs, national co-branding support, and tailored e-commerce initiatives, drawing from global examples.
T-commerce stood out as a quick win—its small-batch, multi-product model reduces inventory risks, perfect for small businesses. Amid rising instability in retail, it’s seen as a reliable digital sales channel. Experts agreed that long-term policies could breathe life into the local economy.
