Its been an exciting few weeks. I have been busy nutting out details of many
of the new ideas.
Firstly come
April 1st we will be
changing the business structure in a few positive ways
- Emmy will become manager
- Salaries will have a partial base rate plus a percentage of profits (A staggered process from me paying all salaries to me paying none.)
- Bookkeeping will be done weekly by Emmy and Serenity (with me training and assisting)
- Opening Hours will increase back to 5 days a week, and will be open 8:30-5 – even through lunch. (An unusual concept in Timor)
- I will be stepping back even more from sales, marketing etc
- I also designed a new simpler logo and am in the process of ordering clothing labels
Secondly we have
begun a loyalty card for clothing alterations.
We printed some colourful cards with 10 smiley faces. We also bought a smiley stamper. For every 10 alterations, they get one
free. The local customers are loving
this concept.
Thirdly and most
exciting for me, is that we are commencing a monthly Gift Club. This will be a subscription service, with
club members receiving a surprise gift each month – home delivered! Their fee
will also fund a monthly donation of 1 woman’s health pack to a clinic such as
Bairo Pite. Currently this service will
only be available to residents of Dili, HOWEVER we are investigating the
possibility of offering a mailed gift version to Australian Residents, so keep
an eye out over the next few months for more information.
Heres a look at the brochure:
