So I was very excitedly doing the calculations of figures and logistics last night. I wasn't sure that i could pull it off in the little time left.
The wheels are in process for another new product. A complimentary product. It's the sari jewellery bag.
These products I know are fast selling and very much appreciated by customers. Jam Gallery (my mothers jewellery shop) have sold these in great quantity. Customers love great packaging and I honestly believe that the sari jewellery bag helps to sell the bracelets. These bags are not only very good looking but also very very competitively priced.
Now if you look on the Internet you will find these typically selling for around £2 upwards. I plan to sell them for around 38 pence!
So today's mission was to contact a wholesaler of a certain type of sari, get a good price and make sure that he can provide the correct colours in quantity at a drop of a hat. Mission accomplished! It took a lot of asking around but it seems that we are on to a winner as far as the supplier is concerned.
My man in Madras-Prasad, has agreed to help me out when I am not in India. His role will be buying from the supplier and taking them to get made, checking the quality and sending. At first he was a little sceptical as he was a little worried about the responsibility of taking my bank transfered money. He also realized (after visiting a few suppliers) that it would be quite easy to be cheated and therefore didn't want to compromise our business relationship. Prasad has now been put at ease after visiting the supplier and I'm sure will feel confident after visiting the stitcher.
The bags will be handed out at the next trade fair with sample bracelets. I will also send samples to all my existing customers.
That's about it for me today. I heard that it was snowing in England. What can I say?
Good night England
