Today, I gritted my teeth and fired the employee who had been working in my store for seven or eight years. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
Then I made up my mind to pay this year's rent of 60000 yuan per year. At the same time, I installed a 24-hour unmanned system in the store, which increased nighttime revenue. I used my leisure time to shoot videos and live streams as a side job, and set up a small stall at the entrance of the store to sell snacks every night. This is my attitude towards keeping my small store going. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
If I continue to sit and wait for customers to come to me in the same way as before, without doing anything or making any changes, after thinking about it, there is really no need to keep going. Have you noticed that since the end of the year, more and more shopping malls and stores have closed for transfer, and many places have sent transfer information? I dare say that there will be a large number of design stores closing in the second half of this year. Do you believe it? Don't forget to share your experience!
I know many people don't like to hear these words, thinking it's selling anxiety. That's because many people have been accustomed to this business model for many years, can't accept the fact, and are unwilling to make changes. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
At present, there are only about 20000 tobacco hotels surviving in Zhengzhou, and most of these shops are operating in a state of breakeven or micro profit. Most owners are facing the life and death decision of transferring or switching careers without transformation. What do you think about this?
In fact, many professionals predicted last year that about 60% of physical stores would close in the next few years.
From the current business perspective, I've found that it's really difficult to do business in tobacco hotels and convenience stores, as most owners rely on loyal customers to support themselves. What do you think about this?
With the continuous strengthening of national tobacco control measures, the era of surviving on a ration certificate is gone forever. Sales of high-end rations have declined and collapsed, while low-end rations are becoming increasingly scarce. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
Have you noticed that it's difficult to buy food around ten yuan now?
Some customers want to buy a cheap package of food, and even have to go to dozens of stores, but in the end they still buy it in some remote places. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
As a result of the collapse of the real estate market, various industries have experienced severe saturation, with waves of bankruptcies, unemployment, and wage cuts sweeping across the board. What people can afford is rising in price, while what they cannot afford is rising in price. What do you think about this?
It's ridiculous that we still need to stimulate the public to consume. The voices heard in the streets and alleys are all about the difficulty of making money. Clothing stores say they don't make money, restaurants say they don't make money, and e-commerce also says they don't make money. Who is making money? Don't forget to share your experience!
Why did no one suddenly consume?
What should we do in the face of such a predicament?
The most popular online trend recently is not buying a car or a house, and not wasting money on clothing and food. The wave of physical store closures may have just begun, and life may become increasingly difficult in the future as consumer habits have shifted to online. Don't forget to share your experience!
This is the same as the principle of stocks. If someone makes money, someone will lose money, and if they make money online, physical stores will lose money. If they make more money, we will make less. What do you think about this?
Also, if you can't resign, don't quit. If you really want to start a business, you can only choose to start with light assets. If you can reduce the scale, try to reduce it as much as possible. If you can persist in working, don't switch jobs. If you can still make a living by setting up a stall, continue to work. Don't ruin it, because the difficult days ahead may last for a long time. What other good opinions do you have? What do you think about this?
