Community Campaign to Help Small Shops Drive Digital Transformation
#NeighbourDOOD Merchant Support Scheme
We're encouraging spending in neighbourhood communities, by helping small shops with digital transformation and business development. We will provide a series of measures – including a subsidy of $8,000 to each selected small shop to develop a digital marketing strategy, greater exposure for selected small shops through interviews, and exploring the uniqueness of small shops spanning different businesses. With each tap of your Octopus, the community comes together to support small shops.
