Coming Visits By Rock Band - '30 Seconds To Mars', Miss SA Placing in the Miss Universe Contest, And 'On The FGM Ts Sales Front - Part 3'.

* The news that super rock band '30 SECONDS TO MARS' is coming to South Africa.
They will be doing 2 shows, in Johannesburg and in Cape Town,in November.
We are big fans of the band here in The FGM and are thrilled that they are coming to these shores.Besides the melody in their songs,we love that choir-like chorus that is feature of most of their songs.This chorus sounds like a group of school children's choir.
We heard about the band's pending visit on 5FM.It was pleasing to note that the 5FM DJ's - as they made the announcement - were excited themselves about the band's coming.They must love the band as much as we do.


* The current Miss South Africa - Nicole Flint - being placed in the top 10 of the Miss Universe beauty contest that was held in Las Vegas,USA,recently.
This is no small feat,ladies and gentlemen.In effect this means our Nicole is one of the 10 most beautiful ladies in the world.
It would have been nice if she had gone on to win the title.But this would have resulted in South Africa being the object of viscious envy.I mean we have just had the FIFA World Cup.We could not possibly have the Miss World crown too.It would be unfair.We must give the other countries a chance.
For the record ,the title was won by Miss Mexico - Jimena Navarrete.Well done to her too.


* ON THE FGM Ts SALES FRONT - PART 3

Next,I took my hawking of the FGM Ts to the nearby Protea Gardens mall.This mall area has the mall itself,another taxi rank and two filling stations(Shell and Caltex).It definitely had more people I could speak to.If selling is a numbers game, it follows then that the more people I speak to the higher are my chances of making a sale.And to make it even easier for people to buy I decided to drastically reduce the selling of the Ts.We normally sell them for R150 each.This time I made them R50 a T.This price - by the way - is lower that our cost price.I would be literally selling the Ts at a loss.

So there I was,going: "Excuse me,sawubona,my name is Thapelo.I have these nice T-shirts that I am selling.And they are only R50 each."A prospective buyer would then take the T from me for a closer look.As they are examining the T, I would be holding my breath,desperately hoping that this is going to be my first sale to a 'stranger' at my first attempt.But it was not to be.After having a look he would return it,saying he wanted to take it but did not any money now.And so it went on like this, from this person to that person.
There was something still missing in my package/presentation.Just that one small thing.

I was encouraged by the fact that the reduction in the price seems to have resulted in an improvement in my selling efforts.People may not be buying as yet,but they are taking a closer look at the Ts.They are wanting to feel quality of the make.
Having said that,I am not sure though if selling at this price of R50 is sustainable.Selling at less than the cost price is surely the quickest route to the poor house.


THANK YOU UNIVERSE.THANK YOU FOR MY 'FEEL GOOD MOMENTS'.

30 seconds away.
Away from rock royalty.
Away from new rocking kids on the block.

30 secs to some awesome singing.
30 secs to a beautiful,
Angelic chorus.
30 seconds to get your ticket.
A ticket to the 'Kings and Queens',

A ticket to pleasure.
