Kansai University has begun distributing coupons that can be used at the Kandai-mae Shotenkai for students who have been vaccinated with the new coronavirus vaccine at the Senriyama Campus (Suita City, Osaka Prefecture).In an attempt to support the local shopping street, which was hit hard by the Corona disaster, the coupon will be used as a trigger to recover the number of customers.
According to Kansai University, the coupon is a 500-yen coupon and will be distributed at the time of the first vaccination.The cost will be borne by the parent-teacher association of students.The coupon comes with a 1-yen second coupon that can be used for the second purchase, and the cost of the second coupon will be borne by the Kandai-mae Shotenkai.
Kansai University has about 3 undergraduate and graduate students studying at the university.Before the spread of the new corona, the Kandai-mae Shotenkai, which has about 50 stores between Hankyu Kandai-mae Station and the university, was crowded with many students.However, with the spread of infection, the number of students who go to school due to the conversion to online classes has decreased, and the number of students who avoid eating out as a countermeasure against infection has increased, so the member stores of the Kandaimae Shotenkai have been hit hard.
Kansai University has been working to support the Kandai-mae Shotenkai, such as starting a lunch delivery service in 2020, but it was not sufficiently effective due to the repeated issuance of emergency declarations.For this reason, we planned to distribute coupons as a new measure, and the member stores of the Kandai-mae Shotenkai will also launch a new menu for students and wait for students to come to the store.
