28 November 2016 – Tesco Lotus is collaborating with 14 leading FMCG companies in Thailand to hold the “United Hearts: Ruamjai Helping Thais Save on Cost of Living” campaign during November 29, 2016 until January 4, 2017. As part of the campaign, more than 700 product items belonging to 27 brands will be available at at least 20% cheaper than their regular prices. The campaign is in line with the Commerce Ministry’s initiative for year-end sales to help alleviate costs of living for Thais.
Ms. Nuntawan Sakuntanaga, Director-General of the Internal Trade Department, said that the Ministry of Commerce’s policy encourages collaboration between the public and private sectors to drive the local trade and economy in a sustainable way, while at the same time ensuring costs of living are maintained. In order to achieve success, close colalboration between leading manufacturers and retailers is integral. The “United Hearts: Ruamjai Helping Thais Save on Cost of Living” campaign demonstrates how a collaborative effort between the public and private sectors can help deliver benefits for people.
Mr. Sompong Rungnirattisai, Commercial Director, Tesco Lotus, said that in order to help customers save on their costs of living during the upcoming seasonal period, Tesco Lotus will be hosting the “United Hearts” campaign, which involves 14 suppliers who are leading FMCG manufacturers in Thailand. More than 700 product items under 27 brands will be discounted by 20% or more. This is an investment of more than 200 million baht between Tesco Lotus and all 14 suppliers to help our customers save on daily essentials.
