Our little stall
August 12, 2008 – 1:16 am. Posted by keroro
So! Our little stall during the Singapore’s National Day 2008. Ta da!!! Our first attempt. It turned out pretty fun for me. I got to meet all sorts of people.
Oh and this was the previous year logo for the site also during the Singapore’s National day. No new logo for NDP this year tho. The other logos here.
It has been over a year since this blog started. A couple of changes, oh well, I’ll talk about the changes next day. For this post, I need to bitch.
I’m not in the retail or sales line but I do know a little about customer service! When people actually come to our little stall, I’ll say hi, look at them and smile. Should they be ladies I’ll probably promote the handbags we’re selling. I believe I was doing that 95% of the time. The other 5% I probably was day dreaming.
Seriously, the number of people who took me as transparent and never once looked at me were countless. I was really shocked. I said hi, they didn’t look up, he/she moved on to another section of the stall, fiddled with the other stuffs, I promoted it, told him/her how much it was, no reaction. Fiddled some more and left.
This is crazy. Bunch of weird people!
Then again, many people smiled or gestured back. Our main customers were young kids, they helped clear most of our stuffs. Really glad! Some of them repeatedly came back to check, maybe deciding whether to buy or not. Maybe asking parents for permission.
That was some crazy experience! I guess deep within me I still wish to open a real little stall of some sort.
I’ll dream for now.

It happens, people are there to browse. You should just smile and only talk to them if they look like they really got questions, or they ask you something.

*cough* i have to admit i was daydreaming 95% of the time..
And if any of you were wondering, what’s the picture in those white drawing boards. it’s konata holding up a “banner”. (:

Well, if they do make sales for you then it would be alrite.. Anyway, children are mostly like that.. ^^

Your blog is interesting!

you know, the ones who didn’t bother to acknowledge were the adults. The kids were the friendly ones actually.
