As epidemic continues to post adverse impacts on many small and medium enterprises (SMEs), MGM hopes to continue supporting their operation amid this challenging time. In the recent months, MGM partnered with over 60 local SMEs to launch three rounds of employee exclusive shopping programs, namely the “Cheer Up Macau Shopping Programs” and the “MGM Jetso Program for Creative SME”. Comprised of enterprises of different categories, such as retails, dining, creative crafts and technologies, these shopping programs does not only offer exclusive discounts to team members as well as sales platform for SMEs, but more importantly it is to encourage them to support local businesses.

The first round of “Cheer Up Macau Shopping Program” was first launched in March with a participation of 20 local shops. The month-long program has received tremendous positive responses, which resulted in extending another round of the program right after, and more SMEs participated. The two rounds of program recorded a total turnover of MOP 1.36 million. This month, the Company kick-started another program, the “MGM Jetso Program for Creative SME” to further supporting the local creative industry, which features 21 favorable creative SMEs.

Nicole Fong, owner of the Moss Natural Life, one of the participating shops of the “MGM Jetso Program for Creative SME” and roadshows at MGM back of house area, said, “The publicity of taking part in a roadshow at a large enterprise with over 10,000 employees was more effective than ordinary advertising. Our collaboration with MGM went smooth and at the same time it was humane and flexible, where we could genuinely feel how supportive they are towards local creative brands. Not only have we earned a decent turnover, but also a great opportunity to promote our natural and organic philosophy to their team members.”

Tank Lei, owner of the lifestyle select shop Banbu Concept Store, said, “Previously we conducted two roadshows at the back of house areas of MGM, and the responses were overwhelming. During the epidemic, we took part in MGM’s employee shopping program, many of their employees came to our stores and shopped with us, and some even promoted us to their friends, which has definitely gained us more public exposures.”

MGM hosted hundreds of SME roadshows, where SMEs could promote their products to over 10,000 team members. Solely in 2019, there were 22 SME roadshows, which accounted for 73% of the roadshow turnover.
