NeighbourDOOD Merchant Support Scheme
#NeighbourDOOD is hoping to help local small shops overcome their current difficulties by driving consumer spending through digital transformation. We'll provide a series of measures for selected small shops. These include a subsidy of $5,000 to develop a digital marketing strategy, launching an online shop via Boutir, and creating greater exposure for specialty shops through interviews. Let’s come together to support the local community with a tap of your Octopus!
