Nanfang Food Basket is operated by Nanfang Media Group, which has established a top brand presence in China with a service coverage of roughly 200 million people. The partnership between GSMG and Nanfang Food Basket will focus on leveraging the substantial user traffic and dynamic media capabilities of the Company’s CHEERS e-Mall platform to improve the marketing and sales performances of Nanfang Food Basket for its agricultural products, which include fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. In addition, CHEERS e-Mall users in all parts of China will still be able to enjoy a delivery time of just a few days for these agricultural products, despite them being sourced from China’s more rural and poverty-stricken areas.

On June 23rd, 2020 GSMG announced that the Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) for its CHEERS e-Mall online e-commerce platform grew by 4,009% year over year to RMB50.6 million and order volume increased by more than 780% year over year in 2020 during the 6.18 e-commerce shopping festival, a highly popular mid-year e-commerce shopping bonanza occurring annually in China. A focus on the young Chinese consumer segment has become a cornerstone of the GSMG CHEERS e-Mall development strategy and contributes to much of its success.

GSMG has witnessed an acceleration in consumption growth in third-tier cities and below. In order to capitalize on this emerging opportunity, GSMG utilized a number of creative promotion methods, such as flash buy, friend referral discount programs, and many more.

Meanwhile, GSMG still maintains its strong presence in first- and second-tier cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Changsha, and Zhengzhou, etc., from which it attracted 50% of its paying users during the shopping festival.
