To celebrate the opening of its first Taiwan store, Matsumoto Kiyoshi launched a special gift promotion for the first four days. By queuing to enter the store and joining the official Matsumoto Kiyoshi Taiwan Line account, customers could show their membership confirmation on their phone screen to receive a limited-edition Taiwan opening souvenir bag (limited to 950 bags, while supplies last).
October 5 – October 7
100 bags given out at 10:00 AM and another 100 at 3:00 PM each day.
From now until October 10, during the campaign period, customers who make a single purchase of NT$1,000 or more will receive a NT$100 discount voucher (not applicable to pharmaceutical products).

Additionally, while Matsumoto Kiyoshi’s prices in Taiwan are slightly higher than in Japan, some consumers consider this factor, while others feel it's acceptable to be able to shop without traveling to Japan. Moreover, Matsumoto Kiyoshi also has a presence at Eslite Nanxi Store, and how warmly Taiwanese consumers embrace the leading Japanese drugstore brand is something to look forward to and observe.
