Our little
hardware store has been existing here in our city for about five decades which
my grandparents started it way back then when common hardware are hard to find.
I would say that my grandfather has this far foresight as he have
conceptualized the do it yourself shop where you can find anything and
everything needed for construction and home improvements in one stop, unlike
others are focused then of specialty stores which only serves a portion of the
construction material or equipment.
But one thing that my grandfather did not
want was to branch out or do some franchise. He wants to keep it to one store
so that the shop can still be personalized as he knew each and every client we
have and almost all are returning clients which we give special discounts and
credit terms as well.
As he would always say when we expand, branch out and
becomes big, the services and management will become commercialized and the
personalized management would be replaced by commercialization as we need to
standardize everything to make each store uniform or else there would be
problem on the inventory and also on accounting system as discounts would
differ from client to client and also with the credit term. But with the modern
times, I suggested to my parents that we can put up a website so that we can
still keep our market share here in our city as other big players are starting
to come in.
Great that I found amazing picture HD so that I could use for inserts and backgrounds on the site as it would create a big impact, especially the younger generations would know that our company still exists and we are also coping up with the modern times but still we are keeping the personalized way of management and services which our store is known for.
