Chapter 112 - Lisa’s Online Shop II
It has been almost a week since Lisa decided to open an online shop in the fashion sector. He has prepared everything quite well. A reliable supplier, an employee who helps Lisa in the studio who is none other than her own younger class, Vira, and capital assistance and the social media team from Rangga. During that week Lisa was really busy taking care of her new online shop.
At the end of the first week, Lisa's online shop has opened. He started to share the link of his online shop with his former colleagues at Petersson Communication and his friends from his college days. Sure, Lisa's online shop is new, but the photos of the products she sells look professional and promising. This is all thanks to the help of Vira who lent his photo studio.
Not only that, Vira also helps Lisa in taking care of incoming products from suppliers and sending them to customers. Vira is a very nimble and responsible girl, she is very reliable.
Duringthe first week of Lisa's online shop, sales had not yet reached the target. Only two to three customers buy. But Lisa and Vira didn't give up. Vira also helps Lisa promote her online shop through Vira's social media. They both are willing to spend the night in the studio to struggle to achieve sales targets.
At the end of the first month, sales from Lisa's online shop didn't make much. The shop doesn't even pay off! Less than half of the capital he made in the first month. However, this is very reasonable, considering that Lisa's online shop is still very new and she has to compete with other, much bigger and well-known online shop owners.
He still hassome savings to buy stock at the supplier for the second month's sales. This time Lisa and Vira are both thinking about how to increase sales for the second month.
Vira advised Lisa to increase the price of clothes by 30% from the original price. Indeed, it is more expensive than the shops that have recently opened but Lisa's products are much higher quality and more promising thanks to professional product photos! Finally Lisa agreed to Vira's suggestion.
At the end of the second month, there is no income at all! Buyer interest has dropped dramatically since the price of the price is increased! In the studio warehouse, there are still about 10 boxes of clothes that have not been sold which should be sold out within two months. There is little concern that Lisa's online shop will fail and go bankrupt.
Seeing Lisa who was getting discouraged, Vira tried to cheer up her seniors. "Sis Lisa, just calm down. Maybe two months from now sales will increase, at least half of the sales target is met! Besides, Sis Lisa's shop is really new, don't be compared to shops that have been running for four years. So, let's fight together! "
"Thanks really, Vir, you already want to help me build ourbusiness online shop . Thanks to your help, at least the goods we sell are looking promising! " Lisa replied trying to calm down.
"Brother's online shop also partly has Vira!" The girl hugged Lisa tightly. His smile looks happy.
Even though Lisa had given up on her online shop business, she was grateful to be working with Vira. In the first two months since they reunited after being separated for so long, the two colleagues finally got on well.
"Thanks again Vir, next month when you reach half of your sales target, I'll buy you all you can eat!" said Lisa smiling.
"No problem sis! I'm sure this shop will be a success! "
***
Time flies quickly, almost four months Lisa's online store has been running and sales targets are getting better and better. In the third month, sales increased by 20%. In the fourth month, sales had reached half of the target. An improvement for the shop that just opened.
In the third month there was a slight decrease, but it didn't really matter. Luck also determines the sales results of Lisa and Vira. Anyway, Lisa doesn't want to give up just yet. She doesn't want to give herself up to marry a man just for money. No, Lisa is not a mercenary woman like Clara!
Apart from Vira's studio. Lisa decided to return to Andien's apartment.
That night Lisa did not tell Andien that she was going to go there, so when Andien almost fell asleep because he was tired from the office he woke up and was shocked when someone came into his apartment.
Andien grabbed a broom and held it tightly. She is afraid that someone will try to enter and rob her apartment.
When the lights were turned on, it turned out that this figure was none other than Lisa.
"Damn it! I hope thieves know or not! " exclaimed Andien in shock.
"Where are there thieves in Ndien's apartment, you've had a strange dream - strange times!"
"You didn't tell me, I texted or called so I wouldn't be surprised!"
Lisa put her tote bag on the dining table along with a plastic containing groceries. Tonight he wants to cook something.
"Do you really cook, Lis?" Andien asked, peeking over Lisa's shoulder.
"Almost a week we eat junk food and get fat, you want it?" Lisa replied curtly.
"You're really fierce, you Lis!"
Lisa took a pot and filled it with water saying, "In a month I want to move from here Ndien!"
"Have you found Lis's new house?"
"Not yet, but I think I'll just do it first. At least I live alone like that. I've been bothering you here, I don't feel good. "
"Don't be like that, Lis, I said you can stay here anytime."
"Yes, but this is your apartment, Ndien. I also don't pay dues, I just stay alive, I don't know the name! "
Andien began to feel a little guilty for making the atmosphere awkward with the question. He tried to change the topic.
"online shop, How about yourLis?"
"Well, it's not bad for beginners and just getting into the world of online shops, it's been quite productive, although not much. At least I'll do it first. Anyway, next month or in two months I can save to find boarding houses. "
"Don't get discouraged, Lis! I'm sure your work clothes business will run smoothly. You have to be persistent anyway! " said Andien encouraging Lisa.
Lisa smiled. Even though her life is sometimes hard, she still has friends who sincerely want to help her. He is very grateful for what he has now.
"Eh yes, if you want to move to a boarding house where do you want to be in the area, Lis?" Andien asked suddenly.
"Most of all the closest to the studio, so I'm not tired on the road," replied Lisa briefly. The woman stirred the soup then turned off the stove.
"Let's eat Ndien," said Lisa while moving the pot to the dining table.
The two friends started having dinner. Andien sighed with relief today he can eat healthily after a week of eating - fatty foods because he is lazy to cook. The atmosphere at the dining table became very warm and close.
The two of them joked with each other accompanied by a bowl of soup and Andien's two cats as usual.
When Lisa was sipping her soup, she glanced at Andien's coat hanger. He looked at the clothes carefully.
"Lis why are you so stunned?" Andien asked, waving his hand at Lisa's face.
"How come your clothes on the hanger are like you've seen them? Wait a minute! You bought it at my shop, huh !? "
"Hehe, as your best friend I support your business, Lis, that's why I bought it!"
Lisa smiled at the woman in front of her. "Thanks really Ndien!"
