SHANGHAI/BEIJING - China's banks, aiming to kick start business after a the coronavirus outbreak prompted a nationwide shutdown, have found a novel way to lure customers: free masks.
To lure much-needed custom, banks across the country have started to offer the hottest commodity in town - masks, popularly believed as helping prevent contagion - to new customers for everything from signing up to an app to opening a deposit account. The Hunan Hengdong Rural Commercial Bank said in late February it would give customers who made deposits masks, disinfectant and alcohol wipes.
In a more creative giveaway, in the coastal city of Qingdao, local branches of the state-owned Postal Savings Bank of China Co Ltd had 100 masks a day up for grabs, which could be won by mobile clients entering a lottery.
😂😂😂 And I just read a ChannelNewsAsia article about politicians in HK giving out masks to entice voters. (better not post link here wait get marked for spam)
