Located on Hongguang South Street, the Blue Sea Star Ocean Arts and Crafts Store has been open for three days. Perhaps because of the new store, the customer flow has not come up, and there are very few customers who visit every day.
During this period, a total of 300 yuan shell paintings and 160 yuan shell carving knick-knacks were sold.
Although it is also open, the performance is really unsatisfactory.
The big clams lived up to expectations and attracted a lot of attention, and almost every customer who entered the store stopped for a long time to admire it.
Of course, some people have asked if this clams are synthesized from artificial materials. To this end, Qiu Xinyi took the trouble to explain to customers and pointed out some key differences between natural products and synthetic products.
The pearl products, which are the most important of the products, are also eye-catching for their beautiful appearance, and many times at the request of customers, they are taken out of the glass case and carefully played with in their hands, and the love is often overflowing.
However, these pearl products are not cheap jewelry from small stalls, and because of the price, so far no one has been sold. After all, these customers in the store are not professionals, and they do not have the ability to identify authenticity by sight and touch alone, so when it comes to the real moment to pay for it, it is inevitable that they will have doubts.
After closing that evening, Jiang Yichen, Su Xiaojia and Qiu Xinyi held a discussion meeting again on the second floor of the store to discuss countermeasures for the current situation.
Su Xiaojia's love is obviously a little low, this shop was built by her heart, and the hard work she has paid for it can be imagined. Today's business situation is obviously beyond her original expectations.
Jiang Yichen first told a little joke to liven up the atmosphere, and then moved on to the topic.
Low footfall is normal. Not many people know about the newly opened store, so it can only be passers-by who occasionally rise up and walk in at will. The popularity needs to be cultivated slowly, and with the passage of time, it stands to reason that it should gradually improve, after all, the store is located on the main road of Hongguang Street, and the location is not bad.
As for the things in the store, according to the observations of the past few days, whether it is shape, texture or gloss, etc. It's still very popular with customers. The obstacle remains the question of price and authenticity.
Qiu Xinyi doesn't seem to be idle these days. Pondered a lot. She analyzed that the river is a famous coastal tourist city, and it is understood that many handicraft shops and tourist souvenir shops rely on foreign tourists to survive.
One of the most typical ways is to link up with a travel agency, where a tour guide will bring the tour group to your door. Shop within the allotted time. Then the store will give the tour guide a commission according to the turnover.
This method is very popular in the industry. Because tourists are generally more generous than locals, coupled with the clever lobbying of tour guides, and even the credibility of their personal and travel agencies as a guarantee. Commodities can often be falsely labeled and sold for a very high price. Therefore, the tour guide and the store are both profitable and belong to a win-win state.
Of course, there are naturally mixed good and bad businesses in the industry, and there are many people who take the opportunity to sell fake and shoddy goods at high prices, resulting in endless complaints. However, because local protectionism is prevalent in all parts of the country, most of the relevant administrative departments have adopted a friendly attitude towards it, and in the end, it has often failed. Besides, there are many tourists from other places, just like cutting leeks, slaughtering a batch and then a new one.
Therefore, she might as well try this way to find a way to travel agencies. Of course, the dirty thing of ripping off customers with counterfeit and shoddy products will definitely not be done.
Jiang Yichen and Su Xiaojia felt that it seemed to be the same road, the passenger flow of the travel agency was not covered, and the source of tourists was not duplicated.
Qiu Xinyi saw that they agreed, so she said that she had a cousin who knew the tour guide of the travel agency, and she would contact her to see what the current situation was.
Jiang Yichen asked Su Xiaojia to go back at night and inform Aunt Wu and Liu Minxiu of this matter, to see if there were any acquaintances in this area, and they all helped to inquire.
Su Xiaojia nodded in agreement, and said that in addition to the above, she could find someone else.
Compared with the desertion of the Blue Starfish Marine Arts and Crafts Store, the main store of Dingxiangyuan is a different scene.
In mid-April, the popularity of the main store exploded and climbed to a new level, and full houses finally became the norm during the peak hours of the day.
Customers can no longer eat as easily as they used to. At noon and evening meals, all the seats in the hall on the two floors are full, and the doors, stairs, and counters are bustling and crowded.
There are more and more customers who can't find a seat with a plate, so naturally they are complaining. At the same time, the probability of contradictions has also increased.
Disputes over seats, collisions, and other reasons are staged every day. There are also those who play with mobile phones and tablets while eating, and they can't get up for a long time, and they have become the object of people's disgust and condemnation.
Later, at the urging of everyone, the management formulated a new rule that each person should not eat for more than 35 minutes, and posted it in a conspicuous position on the wall, after which other guests have the right to ask for their seats. Of course, this regulation is only placed there as a reminder, and it is impossible to really send staff to pinch the watch and keep the time in the actual cāo work, and it mainly depends on the customer's consciousness.
In addition, in the light of past lessons and lessons, in order to prevent the escalation of conflicts and unnecessary troubles, special instructions have been added. That is, any customer who dares to fight in Dingxiangyuan, in addition to compensating for economic losses, will also be unceremoniously put on the unwelcome blacklist and refused to come to the door, and the punishment period is half a year. In order to suppress the anger and anger of some people.
Although the above measures caused dissatisfaction among some customers, they were still forced to be implemented with the support of the majority of customers.
The workload of the service staff has also increased significantly, and they are busy maintaining order and mediating conflicts and disputes in various places. Needless to say, the guys in the kitchen and cāo are eager to grow two pairs of hands in the face of the order menus piled up high. Of course, the busy work also brings them a good income, and the current monthly bonus has been increased by several notches compared to the beginning of the opening last year.
In order to alleviate the shortage of seats during the peak period, the restaurant has temporarily added some folding chairs in the gap between the walls of the lobby, so that customers can sit on them and eat with plates, which is not very comfortable, but it is better than standing all the time.
In addition, we also promote to customers and guide them to avoid the rush hour and choose a relatively leisurely time to eat easily.
Also, please try not to come by car, because the parking lot in front of the store has long been insufficient, and many vehicles have been forced to park on the sidewalks and other neighboring shops, which has caused a lot of trouble and disputes.
With such a hot business state, the return is naturally skyrocketing.
According to the latest financial statistics, the current monthly net profit of Dingxiangyuan head office has exceeded the million mark, reaching the level of more than 1.2 million yuan. The growth rate is strong.
Coupled with Koufuduo's monthly net profit of about 600,000 yuan, as well as the old store of Dingxiangyuan, Jiang Yichen's personal liquidity has increased by more than 1.5 million yuan in the past month, and the total amount has reached about 3.8 million yuan.
The gradual thickening of his family background made his mentality relaxed. Even if there are any unforeseen disasters in the future, I believe that I have enough strength to deal with them freely.
In addition, it seems that the source of funds for the next construction of Yunsha Island is no longer difficult, and it can enter the planning stage.
As for the specific project, it was already thought out earlier, and that is the construction of the pier.
At present, there is only a small natural pier on the east side of the island, which is very small, and only the Blue Arrow 630 speedboat can be moored, and the slightly larger ships are not enough. Moreover, there are no facilities, and it is very inconvenient to load and unload goods.
In the last round, all kinds of materials needed for the construction of bamboo buildings could only be transported from large ships using bamboo rafts and small sampans. Like the fir pillar, it was thrown directly into the sea for dragging, which took the boss's effort.
It seems that it is necessary to build a regular small pier, the location of which has been determined on the planning map, in the area of the gravel beach on the west side of the island. In this way, all kinds of ships can dock in the future, which brings great convenience to the transportation of materials and the travel of personnel.
Although the bamboo building has just been built, the people on the island are very hard, and it is not suitable to continue construction for the time being. However, in the early stage of wharf construction, it is necessary to take several steps such as survey, design plan, negotiation, and construction preparation, and the process is not short.
