Chapter 82: Business is Picking Up
According to Brother Zhu's plan, he would stay in Huzhou Zhili for seven days before returning to Hangzhou, but people were not as good as heaven, and on the fifth day, Sister-in-law Pig called. We said that the goods stored there before we left were almost sold out, and that we could last a day at most, and if we didn't have enough to replenish, our store would be out of stock.
Out of stock? This is a very serious problem, our store has always been the main focus of a variety of new styles, how can we let it appear out of stock?
After receiving the call from Sister-in-law, I discussed with Brother Pig to speed up the matter and end the trip to Zhili as soon as possible. Fortunately, in the past few days, we have almost understood this market: which merchants are more powerful, which merchants have better credibility, which merchants are willing to do long-term business and grow together with wholesalers, and which merchants only pay attention to short-term interests and will desperately press the goods to wholesalers, regardless of whether the wholesalers are alive or dead, Brother Zhu and I have a good idea.
Without further ado, we weighed and selected a merchant with strength, good reputation, and willingness to grow with the wholesaler for the sake of the wholesaler, asked for his contact information, and bought a batch of goods from him.
Because he had too many styles there, we had to ask him to take some of each style, pack the bag, and I rushed back to Hangzhou with Brother Zhu. This time we decided to take a long-distance bus, it was too inconvenient to take the train with goods, or take a car, it was convenient and safe, I think this time the money is used on the blade.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, we returned to Hangzhou and took a taxi to bring the goods to our store, which was already early in the morning. We decided to put the goods out tomorrow and go home this morning for a good night's sleep.
In fact, you may not be too tired when you go out to do errands, the most tiring thing is to take the car, sit there for a few hours, and after sitting for a long time, you will feel very tired, very tired, and drowsy. If the person in the car will get motion sickness, then riding in the car is a huge torture for him, and it is difficult for the body to recover without a full day of rest.
Luckily, Brother Pig and I didn't get motion sickness, so we woke up after a few hours of sleep and got up energetically to go to business.
It's rare, it's so rare, the three of us can appear in the store at the same time, before I and Brother Pig were a sun and a moon, always on duty passing by, it was rare that I went to the store with Brother Pig and Sister-in-law to put the goods in the store early this morning.
Sister-in-law Pig has already informed the person who wants to buy goods from us in advance, telling him that the goods will arrive today, and let him come over on time to take a look, and if necessary, he can pick up some goods.
This guy is really a hard worker, no, I should say that he is a very hard worker. Before we opened the door, he was already waiting at the door of the store, and when we put the goods, he was there to pick up the goods, and selected and packed everything he thought was suitable, and when we put the goods in place, his goods were also picked.
After settling the bill and paying the money, he pulled the goods and left, watching him leave, I couldn't help but think: if everyone is as diligent as him, then why can't he make money? Why worry about the low standard of living? I'm afraid that at that time, the beggars in the streets and alleys of China will be transformed into happy people who drag their families to walk and live a good life.
In that case, our country will really be the first in the world, and then why worry that the motherland will not be reunified and Taiwan will not return. Sorry, I'm going to go far, come back.
This is how to do business, with the first time, there will be a second time, since there is this first time to come to our place to sell goods, and then the number of people in our store began to slowly increase. In order to retain this group of people, and in order to better leave our peers behind, the service in our store is becoming more and more unique.
We have set aside a few square meters of space in the store for the rest of the shoppers, and the water dispenser at sunset has been replaced with boxes of mineral water and fragrant hot tea. In addition, we also have a wide variety of sweets, fruits and other ready-to-eat foods in our store for customers to enjoy for free.
As a result, not only are more and more sellers coming to our store, but even those who are buying children's clothes with their children are constantly crowding into our store. In our shop, mothers can pick out clothes with confidence, and children can happily eat their favorite sweets.
Not only can you buy beautiful clothes, but also eat free candy and fruits, such a good thing, even a fool will like to do it, and of course our business is not bad.
There were more and more people in the store, and our turnover began to go up continuously, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, 8,000, and in the third month after the first buyer came to our store to pick up the goods, our daily turnover exceeded 10,000.
I discussed with Brother Zhu and Sister-in-law Zhu to rent the two stores next to us, so that we could separate wholesale, retail, and negotiation. And the doors of the three stores are all interconnected, so that our three stores have their own unique, and they are integrated, and the effect is very good.
If the service is done well, the business will also do better and better, and our requirements for ourselves are becoming more and more strict. We thought it was necessary to improve the dilapidated storefront environment at sunset. So Brother Pig found a decoration team that he trusted, and Brother Pig personally designed it and began to decorate our store.
Buddha relies on gold, people rely on clothing, this society looks at people more on appearance, in business, this is no exception. Now people who buy goods go to a certain store to buy goods, not to look at the quality of the product as before, but to see the grandeur of the store, because the storefront represents the strength of the store, if a store even does not do well, then he will definitely not have the strength to do a better business.
So if you just want to make a small fuss, then just be satisfied with the status quo, but my ambition and that of Brother Pig and Sister-in-law are not limited to this, we both want to do better and better, and we all want to make our business bigger. And if you want to be bigger, a good store environment is a must.
It took a lot of effort and money to design and supervise the decoration of the store, which gave people a different feeling, so that the people who entered the store felt very happy and without pressure. And while we continue to refine and deepen the service, so that customers feel super good after entering the store, almost all the people who enter the store enjoy our unique service, and when they visit our store, they have to buy something from us when they leave.
Some familiar customers even laughed and joked with us, saying that they would feel very embarrassed when they didn't buy anything back when they entered the store. Speaking of which, Brother Pig and Sister-in-law Pig and I both laughed. Yes, that's what it's like, what are we trying so hard for? In order to achieve this effect.
