About store-based hometown tax payment (R) “*Furusato’s”*
“Furusato’s” is a service where you can make a donation directly on the spot at a store or facility in the area you visit, and receive a gift in return on the spot. Instead of choosing a return gift as if it were an online shop, we have people choose return gifts of goods and experiences based on the charm of the place they visited, which leads to donations. The feature is that it is easier to experience the town, and we hope that people will become fans of the town and local government through the charm of the local area.
5 characteristics
1. After donating *You can receive a return gift on-site.
2. Experience the charm of the region on-site
3. Can contribute to the revitalization of local businesses
4. The town and businesses work together to communicate the charm of the town 5. Creating fans through O2O
*Local payment and advance payment are possible.
* ※* O2O= Online to Offline
* Supporting Machi’s fan acquisition through O2O (Online to Offline) * Online to
Offline is a marketing method that aims to attract customers from online to physical stores. Promote customer guidance from online to offline and provide beneficial customer experiences through on-site experiences and service usage.
The official “Furusatozu” SNS account, which has over 30,000 followers, communicates the charms of local governments that have introduced the service and carries out giveaways of local products to raise awareness and interest in local communities for consumers. I urge you.
For existing users of Furusato’s, we provide sales promotions tailored to the customer and create opportunities for them to become interested in other local governments and physical stores.
