No Spending Required. Open to All Hong Kong Citizens.
Following the announcement of Food Coupon Scheme to give back to the underprivileged, PARKnSHOP Hong Kong is delighted to roll out the “Cheer Up! Smile & Win Lucky Draw” today, as part of the plan to rebate to the general public in the second phase of Employment Support Scheme (ESS), which has been accepted by the government.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has brought a tremendous impact on the Hong Kong economy and even the livelihood of the underprivileged. The unemployment rate has soared to 6.1%, while the rate of some industries such as retail, accommodation and food services even hits 14.4%.
The COVID-19 pandemic has so far impacted significantly people’s daily lives and all industries. As an effort to prepare for consumer spending stimulation when the COVID-19 situation eases, AS Watson decides to open up Moneyback, the largest loyalty programme in town, to help all retailers to promote their business for free. The planned campaign is expected to encourage cross-retailer shopping in all 18 districts.
