The Edugame program " len so - len doi" with the theme "Professional online sales skills", held on the afternoon of October 8, attracted more than 200 guests who are representatives of financial - technology experts, e-commerce platforms, and many small traders and business households in Ho Chi Minh City.
The program is designed as an interactive game, combining knowledge and practical experience, helping participants strengthen online sales skills and raise awareness of digital transformation in business.
This is an event under the project " shopping with households to become digital enterprises", implemented by Tuoi Tre newspaper in coordination with the Tax Department (Ministry of Finance), the Department of E-commerce and Digital Economy (Ministry of Industry and Trade), the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City and the Department of Industry and Trade of Ho Chi Minh City.
Speaking at the event, a representative of the organizing committee said that Vietnam has more than 5.4 million business households but only 2.1 million households have registered officially. Most households lack marketing skills, governance, digital skills, etc., thereby making it difficult for them to apply e-commerce, electronic invoices, etc. Therefore, model conversion and digital conversion are no longer options but a way of life for Vietnamese business households.
Sharing at the event, Ms. Tran Bich Ngoc - Deputy Head of Policy Department, Department of E-commerce and Digital Economy (Ministry of Industry and Trade) emphasized that the consumption trend of Vietnamese people has changed.
Accordingly, 70% of the young generation (born from the 1990s to after 2000) are used to online shopping, shipping, and online payment. With a population of over 100 million people, 78.8% of whom use the Internet, and an average Internet usage time of 6:18 minutes/day, the Vietnamese e-commerce market has great potential for development.
That creates favorable conditions for traders to develop digital business. According to Ms. Ngoc, e-commerce and digital transformation help small traders easily reach customers in many places across the country, expanding to international markets; revenue and expenditure management is also easier and helps build sustainable brands.
However, Ms. Ngoc also noted that traders should register for business legally and have tax codes on e-commerce platforms; provide clear information about store names, sellers, contact phone numbers, publicize selling prices, shipping fees; clarify the origin of goods; declare and pay taxes based on actual revenue; protect customer information...
