HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — Saigon Co.op has tied up with 600 suppliers and spent VND200 billion (US$8.96 million) on its "Proud of Vietnamese Goods 2016" promotion programme at its Co.opmart and Co.opXtra outlets, which offers discounts on thousands of local products between August 27 to September 18.
The programme will consist of six separate promotions that offer discounts of up to 50 per cent on thousands of products besides hundreds of thousands of discount coupons, allow customers to accumulate many times more bonus points than normal days, and have a "special prices" programme on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
On August 27 and 28, under the "Buy Vietnamese products, receive dual preferential treatment" programme, Co.opmart and Co.opXtra will gift a total of more than 280,000 discount coupons worth VND30,000 each to customers who have a Co.opmart card and buy for VND500,000 ($22.4) or more.
They will also gift vouchers to customers for their next visit.
