Chapter 441 Maintaining the Advantage



Qian Lailai counted the money professionally, and finished the count in half an hour: "Today, a total of 38 pieces were sold, with a profit of 1,750 yuan!"

"!!!"

"Hahaha! That's a lot of money!"

“I’ve never seen so much money in my life!”

"Hehe~ I'm making money! I'm making money!"

The little sisters hugged each other and screamed excitedly.

This is definitely a great opening.

"Ha ha!"

"Keep up the good work tomorrow!"

With today's excellent results, tomorrow is even more worth looking forward to.

The flow of people on the second day was obviously much less than yesterday, and sales volume also dropped. Eighteen pieces were sold, with a profit of 900 yuan.

"It's already very good!" Li Mengxue was afraid that they would feel the gap was too big, so she comforted them: "Everyone was looking for novelty on the first day, potential customers came, and sales were high. Today, the second day, the enthusiasm has cooled down a little, which is normal."

"This sales volume is already very good. I have investigated the daily sales of winter woolen goods in department stores. They only sell a few pieces every day, which is not as good as ours!" Qian Lailai also said.

"Tomorrow is the last day of the lottery, so there should be a small peak!" Qian Duoduo said.

The next day, it was just like that. Although it was still not as good as the first day, it was much better than the second day. I sold 30 pieces and made a profit of 1,520 yuan.

After the opening lottery ended, 86 items were sold in three days, earning 4,170 yuan, with a profit of at least more than 2,500 yuan.

"The profit we made in three days is what the regular factory workers would need to save for six or seven years without eating or drinking. It's really profitable to open a store!" After the opening ceremony, Wang Lingling was amazed when she looked at the accounts.

She knew it would make money, but she didn't expect it to be so profitable.

This is much more cost-effective than those factories that everyone is scrambling to get into.

"It should gradually stabilize in the future. Even if the sales volume is that of a department store, we can still make a profit and not lose money. A little bit of accumulation will add up to a considerable amount," Qian Duoduo said.

Li Mengxue nodded: "People who buy clothes now will spread the word, which will be living advertisements for us, and we should have no problem making money.

But we also have to have a sense of crisis. Right now, most people haven't figured out the channels for importing fabrics or ready-made clothes, so no one has opened a clothing store like us.

But everyone can see the success of our store now. There are many people with ideas. I think there will be other clothing stores soon. How can we maintain our unique position among so many stores and let customers choose us among them? This is very important!"

"We still need to maintain our first-mover advantage and leave a deep impression on people as soon as possible. When a new store opens, old customers will naturally compare. If we are better than others in everything, they will naturally choose us," Qian Lai said.

"Yes, we need to maintain our advantage! After a while, when we are preparing for the Spring Festival, we will have another promotion to boost sales. We will strive to sell 70% of this year's winter inventory, and then we can slowly sell the rest after the New Year. Then we can make new spring models. After the New Year, we can have another promotion again when we have new spring products! Let's make a name for ourselves while others haven't entered the industry yet." Li Mengxue agreed.

Anyway, those prizes were no-cost items for her. It was much more convenient to use them in the store than to sell them on the black market. The market price without tickets was also very cheap.

The prizes prepared this time have not been drawn out yet. The unused ones can be eaten by yourself or given as small benefits to employees, so they will not be wasted.

"In addition, our clothes are made of good materials, have new styles, and are well made. We also have warm service and good publicity. These are our advantages. We must maintain them and do our best. We can't let others surpass us!" Li Mengxue said, "Lingling, you are in charge of the materials. I will be in charge of the styles. Sister Duoduo, you are in charge of the workmanship and in-store service. Let's plan the publicity together. Come and manage our accounts. Everyone should keep a close eye on it!"

Everyone nodded.

Yi Qingqing chuckled, raised her hand and asked, "Can I go home and lie down now?"

"Yes, yes, yes! If you are willing to help more, that's fine. I also want to set up a membership system. The highest-level members of the store can have the opportunity to have clothes tailored for them by a master!" Li Mengxue said unhappily.

This method will definitely help you gather a group of loyal old customers!

She had not originally intended to make mid- to low-end clothing forever. She had taken the route of small profits but quick turnover and making money from rich people was the way to get rich quickly. This membership system was to give the future brand a certain degree of popularity and to raise its status.

However, their only tailor master, Comrade Xiao Jinhua, is overwhelmed and has greater ambitions. She does not want to spend too much time in their company and is only willing to be a financial sponsor.

Yi Qingqing heard this and shook her head repeatedly: "There's no rush for this now. You can slowly look for good tailors. You don't have to hire me. I may not be the best."

She was telling the truth and definitely not trying to be lazy.

Master Tian was born in the Republic of China period. Although fashion is a cycle, her style still tends to be retro. She likes it herself, but it may not be suitable for their store. When the scale becomes bigger, they still have to employ their own designers. It is impossible for them to rely entirely on themselves, otherwise it will affect the development of the company. The various functions of the company should be perfect, and it does not mean that it cannot function without any one person.

"I know. When the store is busy again in a few days, you can be at ease as your major shareholder," said Li Mengxue.

There is no way, they have to admit that compared to their clothing store, the pharmaceutical field that Yi Qingqing wants to delve into is more valuable to people's livelihood.

For people with brains like Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan, it would be a waste of their talents to just use them to make money.

She herself cannot do the same as them, but deep down she sincerely admires such people and is proud to have such friends.

"Yeah!" Yi Qingqing was extremely happy, like a primary school student who suddenly heard that there was going to be a holiday and had no holiday homework.

Thanks to Comrade Da Jinhua’s hard work in popularizing science, the young sisters have learned a lot of popular words in later generations. She doesn’t have to pay too much attention to her words and actions, because she learned them from Da Jinhua anyway.

After three days of opening activities, the flow of people was still good, but the daily sales volume had indeed dropped. At best, we could sell eight or nine pieces a day, and at worst, only five or six pieces.

In this era, everyone is very frugal. For most people, it is still difficult to bear the cost of spending a month's salary on a piece of clothing. You should think about it carefully.

Among them, the bright red woolen coats are the best-selling ones. People buy them to wear at weddings. Normally, people can’t afford to buy these, but weddings always require a bit of luxury.

As sales volume decreased, there was less work to do in the store, and only one person was needed to look after the store, so everyone gradually had more free time.
