Taipei Fish Market Touts Bundle Deals for Dragon Boat Festival
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the cancellation of numerous international orders for the local fishing industry. In an effort to promote Taiwan’s outstanding fishery products, the Taipei Fish Market (TFM) has embarked on a promotion campaign offering discounts!
According to TFM General Manager Chen Chih-fang, the pandemic discouraged many customers to dine outside. This trend led to numerous cancelled orders for businesses spanning night market stalls to restaurants. Citing the sales of groupers as an example, Chen noted that the largest number of orders are for groupers weighing 1 kg, with the asking price for heavier ones diminishing – and probably nobody wants ones that are heavier than 3 kg.
Fortunately, businesses have seen an increase in customers since the subsiding of the pandemic. Therefore, TFM has decided to be proactive and set up a promotion stall inside the market to showcase products whose sales have plummeted due to the pandemic. These include banded grouper, brown-marbled grouper, giant grouper, and Japanese sea bass.
For the convenience of customers, TFM also offers discounted bundles which start at about NT$1,000. All merchandise showcased at the special stall are quality, vacuum-packed and flash frozen products.
The 4 different kinds of Dragon Boat Festival bundle deals start at NT$1,200, with the most expensive set costing NT$3,000. TFM members enjoy an additional 10-percent discount, as well as free shipping.
