Retail chain FamilyMart said that it had opened its doors and lent its store shelves to entrepreneurs to bring in and feature their products in a campaign that aims to boost support for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
The campaign, called #WeSupportSME, seeks to bridge consumers back to SMEs by connecting them through FamilyMart’s retail network, while at the same time widening the store’s offerings.
