  • #20 Although many Singaporeans today like to easily go online to purchase deals, many still prefer the face-to-face interaction and the fact that an online shop like Groupon has a physical presence,”
  • #21 Jeannie says that their move into physical stores has paid off handsomely, with profit margins doubling ever since. They accumulated about $1 million in sales from January to May 2011, and expect revenue to hit about $4 million by year’s end, especially since they will be opening a new outlet at Junction 8 in August the same year.That’s not too bad actually, considering that they were only generating about SG$600,000 (US$497,619) in annual sales before they got physical.
  • #22 Business model: rent out shop space monthly: display clothes ($600 a month) + additional 20% of revenue, 80% exclusive instore designsRapid expansion, 3 outlets in half a year, daily 4 figure sumGoing gaga with your girlfriends about the latest designs and feeling the fabric on your skin

  • #24 Physical store = I have made itBut expensive to rent a space and cannot afford the overheads on their ownOnly blog shops that have really made it big can afford to do that
  • #26 The window features the newest t-shirts on LCD-headed mannequins. The LCDs all show images of customers taken in the store via their photo booth.LCD monitor that shows website comments and rotating user pictures of the t-shirtSpace for classes: A class on digital cameras was scheduled for the day at some of the tablesArt galleryI was confronted by an iMac kiosk ready to snap my photo if I wanted to join those faces of fellow participants
  • #27 Threadless is built on community. Having a physical space lets them give back to the community in ways a website never will. Activity spaceRecreate the online experience offline to attract new customersBranding – strengthen their image of being a creative company. A space for loyal fans.
  • #28 company plans to open a test store in Seattle sometime this year. The company envisions a boutique-style store focused on selling Kindle e-readers as well as books from the AmazonDidn't Amazon make a big business by avoiding the traditional retail structure? Doesn't this go against everything the company stands for?
  • #29 Amazon now sells its own devices like the Kindle e-reader and the Kindle Fire Tablet. People want to touch and feel it before they purchaseNeed to provide tech support for the Kindle. Cut down on replacement cost and increase customer satisfaction.Amazon now publishes its own books and they are having trouble selling these through traditional retail channel.One of the advantages of being an e-tailer is that Amazon’s customers can avoid paying sales taxes, but this is all going to change so it would make no difference to them.
  • #31 南京西路580号淘宝城位于南京西路与成都北路交界处,以卖假货出名, a place to 砍老外
  • #33 四惠桥(往东)
  • #34 Showroom function because big ticket items, people still want to see and touch, try out before they purchaseBut this mall mainly caters to those who already shop onlineSelf service style means most people who don’t already shop online would have no clue, especially since lack of promotersPlans to open in Shanghai, Guangzhou, hangzhou, shenzhen, chengduNo plans to open similar mall selling other stuff
  • #35 800 million still offline
  • #47 So basically now anyone can be a daigou. Even the fruit seller downstairs.
  • #55 More sophisticated consumersWant the benefits of all channelsNo longer enough just to be a B&M or a PCNeed to provide a more comprehensive solution and adopt a multi channel strategy
