stuff I hoarded. My sister got most of it. |
Apparently, my sister had the same idea. she wanted to earn some extra cash too. We went to the Lioele store with a business mind. After chatting with the tenant, we found out that the owner also lives in our village, just a couple of blocks away from us. What a small world! We had a good chat with her, since apparently her and me are the same age, and her husband was my sister's age. They have a two year old child who was conceived out of wedlock, but seeing them now, it's amazing! God has been good to them and I can see that those two would be prosperous. We inquired if she's willing to take retailers, and she's all for it. She told us that she started off as an online seller for mineral make up and next thing she knew her 5000 php has inflated and soon she was able to come up with a store. She told us a long time ago that she used to direct from suppliers, and soon she was hoarding stocks herself and soon, she was tapping on to korean companies as a supplier of her own. The couple told us secrets, about Korean cosmetic companies here in the Philippines as well, and why they're prices are steep and who owns what. Pretty much she encourages us to be the retailers for our city area, since there aren't much sellers here.
Since the store hasn't opened yet, she invited us over for the grand opening. She made a deal with us, that for a minimum of 5000 php of lioele products, single receipt, she will turn us into silver members. SILVER MEMBERS OF LIOELE!! I can waltz in her shop and have discounts on whatever I want. She has candy bags and other cosmetics and just... WOW. So generous that it seems to good to be true. She told us simply, she buys things in bulk, she's a supplier, if we buy in bulk prices we get a discount, and she still earns from us. The both of us benefits.
I did asked her if it's fake and she laughed. She's confident as she told us, her supplies came from the company themselves, her stocks are fresh, and if they look different from the ones at the Philippine Market, it's simply because those companies uses old stocks o.O (will check if it's true). If you don't believe it's real then she won't waste her time explaining how it's real.
I hope her business prospers. I think it will even if we don't wish them well, with their generosity and kindness. I love being their business partners.
