The marketplace also plans to consistently manage valued customers by selecting 20 winners from customers who purchased agricultural products worth 500,000 won or more on the Gyeonggi Cyber Marketplace in the first half of this year, and offering them green tour experience tickets to destinations selected by Gyeonggi Province as "places to visit."

Meanwhile, to boost sales at the Gyeonggi Cyber Marketplace, the marketplace will provide 40 customers who purchase agricultural products during the event period with department store gift certificates and 10,000 mileage points, and will also offer agricultural product gift certificates to 150 new members making their first purchase.

In particular, as a special 4th anniversary celebration event, the marketplace plans to provide 10,000 mileage points to all customers who make purchases on the 18th, the opening anniversary date, and will award two 2-night, 3-day Jeju Island accommodation vouchers to the 64,444th member to register.
