We have been committed to selling our products to the world, including Korea of ​​course. With high-quality products and professional pre-sales and after-sales service capabilities, we have successfully developed the Korean market and sold sugar-free mints to the Korean market.

After communicating with Korean customers who are interested in our products, we send customers some samples of sugar-free mints for free. At the same time, we also provide customers with specific marketing programs. For example, about the offline channels of product retailing, the price of a single product, and the expected commercial benefits to partners, etc. After communication and negotiation, Korean customers finally chose our sugar-free mints, which include 4 flavors, namely lemon, peach, grapefruit and strawberry. All four flavors are produced in a 22g bottle.

Regarding offline sales in the Korean market, our sugar-free mints are mainly sold in GS25 convenience stores.

In 2005, it had 2,000 branches throughout Korea, and by 2018, there were 8,000 branches around the world, and it is now one of the companies under the GS Group.

GS25 has been recognized by well-known media as the most respected Korean company, and has been rated as the No. 1 customer satisfaction in the Korean industry for many times.

In such a convenience store, Do’s Farm sugar-free mints are placed at the cashier counter and snack area. According to relevant data, placing our sugar-free mints can increase sales at the checkout position by at least 10%.

In order to better assist Korean customers in sales, we provide SOP (Sales and Operation Program) to customers. Take the “Buy 2+1″ promotion when sugar-free mints go retail. At the same time, we also cooperate with some KOL on IG to create brand effects and promote our sugar-free mints to Korean consumers. In addition, we also produce customized gift box product packaging for customers to carry out corresponding marketing activities. Such as hunger marketing, the launch of a limited number of Valentine’s Day gift boxes and “Thanks Packs” gift boxes.
