KUALA LUMPUR: RHB Banking Group says RHB #JomSapot continues to attract much interest from local small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
It registered a growing list of more than 5,500 business outlets throughout the country in various segments including hotel, health and wellness, digital appliances, food and beverage, fashion and beauty.
In a statement today, RHB said the campaign provided its SME customers an online marketing platform to promote their products and services to consumers at no additional cost.
"This helps spur business volume, channeling much needed sales transactions to local businesses while fuelling continued economic recovery and growth.
Adding additional value to participating SMEs is Facebook Malaysia, who have extended its support by providing RHB #JomSapot additional visibility and exposure on its social media space.
"This allows even greater reach for local businesses, in addition to instant access to over four million RHB customers already available to them through the platform," RHB group chief marketing officer Abdul Sani Abdul Murad said.
He said as end-September, there was an increase in credit and debit card spend of about 20 per cent generated through the RHB #JomSapot platform.
"Since the launched of this initiative, we have seen very encouraging growth in local business participation and we encourage all local businesses to take full advantage of our platform to increase their revenue growth.
"This momentum continues to build as we bridge the gap between retailers and consumers, and this will help accelerate the recovery of our local SMEs," he said.
RHB said the campaign had received good coverage on social media and there had been more than five million impressions across Facebook and Instagram, reaching more than 2.2 million unique users on Facebook alone.
