value facilities selected to participate in the Government's consumption
voucher scheme, to provide welcome rewards and a range of exclusive offers. Customers

Government in conjunction with shopping coupons provided by Sino Malls totalling
several million Hong Kong dollars, maximising the scheme's benefits and making shopping

Sino
Malls will hold a HK$5,000 Cash Rebate Luck Draw in partnership with virtual
bank livi bank for seven consecutive weeks through the summer holiday period
beginning in July, handing out a total of HK$1.05 million in cash rebates. Customers

More
irresistible offers with other e-payment platforms and credit cards
In additional
to the two promotions detailed above, Sino Group is working with other
e-payment service providers, such as Octopus, WeChat Pay HK, and credit card issuers
to provide more spending rebates and special offers in phases throughout the
duration of the Government's consumption voucher scheme. The rebates and offers
are designed to help spark a city-wide shopping spree as Hong Kong people enjoy
some of the most exciting offers and attractive rewards seen in recent years.
Bella
Chhoa, Director of Asset Management at Sino Group, said: "Currently,
more than 90% of Sino Malls tenants are using the four major e-payment
platforms. Through our promotional strategy, we are working with these
platforms in different phases to maximise our reach to consumers. Sino Malls customers
will be able to use the spending e-vouchers to buy a variety of items, from daily
necessities costing small sums to more expensive products like mobile phones
and electrical appliances, and will even be able to use them for dining and at
cinemas. We believe this will boost sales for our malls and tenants, and lead
to a multiple-win situation."
