Business for W Place has doubled over the past year with Wis\u2019 friends and mother to help him over the festive seasons. His products are now sold online and on shelves in the Home department in Robinson\u2019s Departmental Store in Gardens, Mega Mall. Online demand has also grown but Wis is still alone handling the orders, packing the goods, sending them via courier and baking the nuts. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
\u201cThe way I am working now I am afraid I am missing out on many business opportunities. These are perishable goods and temperature of the place where they are stored while on transit is crucial to maintaining the quality of the nuts. I am also sensitive to customers feedback and that being the reason why I kept changing the ingredients. I guess I have to learn to assess when a change in really required. I have replaced a lot of my ingredients with organic products.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is an aggressive market in Singapore but I cannot meet the demand because of my lack of manpower. Many of my clients are regular customers and some companies are buying from me to give their staff as a healthy snack. This is my target market for the next two years,\u201d Wis said.<\/p>\n
Some of his customers buy in bulk and that does not require individual packaging. His premium packaging presents well as corporate gifts. For the next two years, Wis plans to break into the Halal market.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs my business grows I keep reminding myself to do business with a conscience and to use my gift to help others.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
