righ from the start ,when i discovered fashion was my passion,i appreciate it in retail.some ask me to be a fashion designer but i got no desire to design things.i just love being in a shop environment than in an office.
retail shops will always be around despite online shopping,just like push carts
i know a debate where some people might add online shopping sometimes have goods that local shops cannot get n are cheaper.but i don agree ,some remote or small shops which i consider as a shop also might bring in cheap n unique stuff.as a customer i find walking into an actual shop n marvelling at the good s n display items. i also like to look at the renovation n theme of every individual shop..even my old working place auntie who owns the shopsaid next year shops will close down n every one will go online to buy ..is to the extreme which i strongly beg to differ.
take 1 brand uniqlo for example when they 1st open ,there was a lot of hype generated n the sales surpass all expectations on the 1st day.i have never seen that amount of people queing up to see the shop.
my dream if possible is to open up chain of stores n a flagship store . my brand would be called plus one(plus god) for the sake of my passion for fashion, i wolud be contented to open just 1 or 2 stores in singapore but making sure the goods are very unique so regulars will come back. the 1 or 2 stores not only is my living but hobbie n to share the shop with my gf or wife.
if i cant make it for the orchard ion , i would try to convince my mum to sponser me a push cart (my friend ravi in far east plaza advise me to start small)or small corner shop in a cheap rent haha
i tried talking to her but to no avail. she n my dad still advise me to work for people.
my dream is to go hk n thailand to get stock for my own business.cos if cant work for people, this is my only hope .whether the business is a failure is another thing. i iwll learn n gain experienc my self.the smalll shop will be my means of living n will be my way of life ,at least am doing something i like doing myown business.
i know of a auntie who owns a shop that thinks that next year everyone will do online shopping n not go to shops , that is the extreme which i strongly beg to differ. retail shops will always be around ....
