Your PM function doesn't activate until you have made five posts. Your current post count is 6 so it should be working by now. In the meantime I would advise you to remove your email address before you become the target of some of our lurking trolls (there are a few or so we've been told).gracelynn wrote:kindly email me at gracelyn_(at)hotmail.com, it seems that i can't PM you.
Thanks

Psychology plays a part. Bigger size ladies tend to be more inferior when it comes to fashion or choosing of clothes. so in term of push cart... hmm..![]()
a close door concept might sound better

I think it's a very good idea to cater for the larger size market, although chose your location carefully! There is a need in the market, and probably your research may direct you, more to the expatriate locations!
It is very important to have an area, or screen, whereby customers can quickly try, the items on, they don't really trust push carts so much, here today gone tomorrow!
So it's important to give very good customer service, If you have a vehicle, you may also wish to do home delivery, include a surcharge, whereby expats can try on your clothes, in the comfort of there own home! This would be kind of unique. But saves embarassment for many over sized people! Word soon gets around, although don't expect to turn profitable so quickly, it takes time to build a good customer base!
well true...but how do one get word out for a close door concept...the idea of a pushcart is that it's usually in busy areas where there are more 'eyes'. a close door concept would mean advertising...and where do one advertise?AdamC wrote:Psychology plays a part.

the mainstream papers are too expensive for a small biz, there are expats mags..but which are the ones that is most widely read? not to mention cost.
of course, the alternative is to stand is MRT stations in orchard area and distribute flyers - then there is manpower as well as printing costs.
