Many e-commerce platforms have also cooperated with supermarkets to offer discounts of up to 30 percent for orders made in February to encourage consumers to increase online shopping.
Information from the Ministry of Industry and Trade showed that expanding online distribution channels and calling for the participation of e-commerce and logistics enterprises is also a scenario put forward by the ministry. Thereby, it will help consumers to still be able to do shopping without going to crowded places.
This also shows that online selling is an effective method to stimulate purchasing power, recover capital quickly and boost the growth of production and trade.
