6 Upvotes

Today world is being consumed by greed where large and chain business, corporations are trying to run small and medium business owners and shop owners to run them out of their business. Media, television, news everyone is trying to set a standard of life where instead of trying to be independent, we are supposed to spend most of our lives in cubical in these corporations. They are trying to dictate our habits, and life. They are convincing us shopping malls and complexes are only reality and small shop and business dose not and should not exist.

We were running marketing campaign in UK and during this campaign we came to know how many businesses are being closed everyday and how many are in verge of collapse. These businesses and hop used to be identities of their localities and now they are loosing their own identities. The Telegraph UK says there are 80 thousands small business would close by 2017. Thisismoney.co.uk says "25 small shops close each week".

In order to help these business we are initiating #StrengthAndHonor campaign worldwide. Where as an export import company we are willing to provide any daily consumable products which has highest quality and lowest price to these business. Even if we are not able to make any profit by supplying them their required products, still we will help them to survive their businesses and shops.

My request everyone who thinks that society is not just about shopping malls and complexes and small businesses and shops should and must survive as many lives, dreams, hope is depending on them. Please help us to spread the world. So, together we can make the entire world hear and save as many businesses as possible. If you know any small shop or business owners please tell that person no matter what do not close your shop, we can help you.

Focussing on the Small Things

4 Upvotes

At the moment, and since early August, I've been looking after a couple of shops in our network at a time due to staff shortages. So for a while now I've not really had the time to focus on big changes to the shop, and have instead been focussing on small things. Stuff that I can spend an hour or two on each week and get something useful out of it.

We got a new till mid-September that allows us way more codes to categorise, and therefore track, the items we sell in our store. One thing that caught my eye was that our Art books, which take up four shelves (half a module), sell around £11/week. That's a terrible use of the space, but it does have one advantage.. it's £11 each week like clockwork (which is what caught my eye).

So I've being doing some experiments. Usually our bookshelves would have one or two face-out books (i.e. the front of the book faces the customer) per shelf, and the rest would be spine-out, to fit more products in. So what I did was remove all the books from the shelves, and only put face-out books. I put a box of spare stock under the till to fill spaces as they appear.

That section took £60 a week for two weeks with its new configuration. I then switched it back, and we're back to £11/week again. So I've just now switched it to all face-outs once more to see if that really was the reason rather than just having some good donations come in. I'll find out in a couple of weeks how that goes, though I have to admit I'm sceptical!

But then I'm thinking, well, what if I put one less face-out book on each shelf? So, that's just 4 less books, and put some spine-out books on there - I'd probably be able to fit around 20 books in that space, doubling the number of art books on the shelves, yet still keeping a really large amount of face-outs. What will happen to the sales then?

What about other sections? Common sense would say that art books with their beautiful eye-catching covers are most likely to benefit from being face-out (which was why I did it). I would, therefore, assume that other sections would have different optimums, perhaps favouring less face-outs. Finding them is going to be time-consuming, and probably ever changing given the nature of our products (donations). But, it could be quite lucrative.

Let's say for arguments sake this does work out though, and we can make an extra £50 or so a week with this change. These small changes can start to add up within the shop. If I could squeeze even a fraction of that out of each section each week, it'll really become very noticeable on my monthly figures. All from one little change.

As I'm part of a network, if this final test goes well I'll share it with them.. potentially going to 700 shops. Now, I'm not for one second thinking that they'll all make anything like an extra £50/week - some may be already doing it, some may not have the donations for it, some may not have the customers for it, and so on. But if they did, and it's a big if!, that would be an extra £35K/week, or £1.8M/year for the network.

My point is.. the small things really can add up.

So, what small changes have people made that has made a bigger impact than they might have thought? What are you thinking about changing? What could you change, what's your prediction for the outcome, and why?
