On a early Sunday morning, a group of us went to raise funds by selling 2nd branded clothings! The kind souls included me (Sherri), Kiran, Di Ming, Chong Chin, Roy and Xinxin! Instead of giving our brains more rest/sleep, we dug ourselves up from our cozy beds to do something very meaningful!
We set up out stall like our 20+ competitors! There's something that make us different from them and that is...Raising funds out of our entrepreneur spirits! I think this is our 1st time selling stuffs outside NTU?
Initially, each of us though it was easier for us since we are selling mostly branded stuffs; the customers'll naturally turn up at our stall. Then, we noticed...The display of the items was not comparable to other stalls. The location of the stall was rather hidden. Thus, not many customers noticed us... The heartlander culture of flea market is 'jabalang' sale (junk sale). Other stalls' sales were good as they brought almost anything that are not of a need to them! Their unwanted stuffs turned up to popular among the HDB residents. We could see old clothes of all ages, soft toys, storybooks, shoes, furniture, vcds, dvds, electronic stuffs...etc! Our varieties are limited to bags, shoes and clothes.
Nevertheless, we tried our best and managed to earn $92 at the end! We really learn a lot from this sale especially on the display of items and the 'heartlander selling techniques' or simply customer service skills. The sale still carried on after the flea market~~~ And finally, we raised a total amount of $150! *Applause*
