The special sales period will run for two weeks, from August 18 to August 31. When used together with the livelihood recovery consumption coupons, which have been distributed since July, this is expected to significantly stimulate local consumption and provide a tangible boost to the sales of small businesses in the area.

County Governor Jin Byungyoung stated, "We aim to invigorate the local economy through two key initiatives: the expansion of the livelihood recovery consumption coupons and the increased issuance of the Hamyang Sarang Gift Certificate." He added, "I hope that raising the purchase limit will provide meaningful benefits that residents and small business owners can truly feel."

Meanwhile, Hamyang County plans to continue implementing effective policies that residents and small business owners can experience firsthand by expanding the number of affiliated stores for the Hamyang Sarang Gift Certificate and operating various related programs.
