100th post

No business talk this time, promise! 

I believe I am still mourning over a death of a person whom I have never even met. And that makes me wonder how would I feel if I were really in the family's shoe. 

Lately, (after my grandma died specifically) every death seems like a very big deal to me. Not that it didn't matter before but the feeling of losing someone even if you haven't met the person or met the person once or twice only is deeply embedded in your heart. And it stays there. 

I guess that is what happens when we grow older. We learn things faster and it is too fast that even if the event doesn't straightly occurs to us, we can still feel the sadness out of it. We understand things a tad too much and pick things up wayyy to fast. 

Maybe death is a test not just for the family, friends and relatives but also for those who simply knew about the news. Take Palestine for example. We were all saddened by the death reported. Or the school shooting in America. Hurmmm...too serious for a 100th entry huh

Marketing

A lot of people suggest to add this and that in the menu, suggest to do this and that but the truth is, there's only one major word missing when I open the shop: MARKETING.

So, off I went last Wednesday distributing flyers to Taman Kajang Impian and few houses in Section 7 Bandar Baru Bangi and the next day whoahhh!

I guess it's never about the product or place etc. It has always been about promotion. Once people notice, people will come and just have a try.

Note to self: Have a target market, and if it is still not achieved, spend more on marketing! Don't worry about the shop, the shop is more than fine. Don't worry about the product too. Marketing will be my favourite word now. Marketing, marketing, marketing.
