Transmigration: The Peasant Makeup Artist - Chapter 82
Relying on the preferential activities three days before the opening, the turnover increased significantly, and the shop successfully had a good beginning, which is the so-called successful opening.
Three days later, when the event was over, the sales volume of rouge gouache tended to be normal, most of which came for beauty and makeup.
Li Mo’s belly is getting bigger. She still only puts on makeup in the morning, and only does two or three beauties in the afternoon. The bulk of the business in the shop is handed over to sister-in-law Qin, but sister-in-law Qin is a little hectic while receiving money while getting beauty care. Mo felt that it should be improved.
Finally, Li Mo thought of common modern membership cards and discount cards, and then decided to launch discount cards in the store.
The launch of the discount card not only saves her and sister-in-law Qin, but also promotes customer consumption.
She intends to implement three types of discount cards, namely ten-time card, twenty-time card and 30-time card. That is to say, buy ten, twenty, and thirty times of beauty makeup at one time, pay in advance, and then you don’t need to pay for makeup and beauty again. Moreover, the ten times card can cost a penny less than the normal price each time; The secondary card can be two cents less than the normal price each time, and the 30-time card can be three cents less than the normal price each time.
Customers who bought a discount card, register at the front desk, and remove one after applying beauty or makeup. In this way, the guests will save trouble, and they will also save trouble.
Of course, there must be some people who are unwilling to buy a card, and only want to pay once. This is of course possible. But for management convenience, these people adopt an appointment registration system, that is, they must pay the money at the front desk before each appointment. Then go in for beauty and make-up, so as to avoid the confusion of her and sister-in-law Qin collecting money, and it will be much easier to check the accounts every day.
Sure enough, after Li Mo introduced this discount card, many customers who often come to the shop for makeup and beauty chose to apply for the discount card, and many people do it for 30 times as soon as they apply.
In addition to the discount card, Li Mo also launched a premium membership card, that is, the annual card, an annual card ten taels of silver. Anyone who has the annual card in his hand can come to the store anytime and whenever he wants to. Come, and you can give priority to beauty and makeup, and Li Mo personally does the beauty. In addition, the snacks and tea in the lounge are also free.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone to get such a premium membership card, so Li Mo only plans to issue ten, which means that only ten people are eligible to get the annual card.
When this premium membership card was launched, Lin Xiaoyu was the first to jump out and ask for one, and then Yueniang and Yunniang also asked for one. At first, there were only seven cards left.
As the saying goes, things are scarce, and there are only seven places in the whole shop. Although a piece costs ten taels of silver, it is a symbol of dignity, and many people want it, especially those with money at home. Therefore, the remaining seven cards were quickly snatched by the ladies who often came to the store, so that many people wanted them but didn’t want them. They came to Li Mo to discuss whether they could send more.
But Li Mo shook his head and refused, because the value of these ten cards lies in their scarcity. If there are so many and many people can get them, then they will no longer be precious. Moreover, if there are too many people, there will be more people. It was chaotic, and she didn’t have so much time to personally do beauty treatments for senior members. Ten of them were just right.
So these people can only regretfully plan to grab it again next year.
The introduction of discount cards and membership cards has not only improved the business in the shop a lot, but also standardized the management of money, making it easy for everyone.
……………………..
As the weather got warmer, the children could no longer stay at home, and many women brought the children to play, and the recreation room became lively again.
Especially after Li Mo added a lot of children’s games, the leisure room was full of children running all over the floor. At this time, the drawbacks of many children appeared, that is, some wanted to quietly play chess or have a drink. The tea guests will feel very noisy and can’t stay quietly, so they have also given advice to Li Mo.
Therefore, Li Mo deliberately went into the recreation room to check it out, and was almost knocked down by a child running around. Fortunately, someone was quick to support her, otherwise it would be dangerous.
Although it was okay, Li Mo was still scared.
When she encountered this kind of thing, there might be other women who would be hit. The child was lively and it was inevitable that she would sometimes hit people.
At this time, Li Mo felt that she had to find another play room dedicated to children to play, separate the adults and the children, and make the leisure room quieter.
But this shop, like most shops, does not have a second floor. It only has a tiled roof. It is difficult to add another layer. If you want to add another layer, it will be a big project and it will be impossible to do business. , The unrealization is great.
The only place left in the house is the backyard, but the backyard is the private domain of the family. Li Mo didn’t want to take it out for business, so he had to find another place.
After thinking about it, Li Mo could only think of the shop next door.
The shop next door selling joss sticks and paper money is separated by a wall from hers. The layout and size are the same as her shop. In other words, the shop next door has the same area, but only sells some scented paper money and other things. Most of the area is empty and useless. Li Mo has been to the next door to see it, and it is indeed very empty. The shop is really used for less than half of the area, so Li Mo wants to try it, can you try to buy it next door Or rent a space, open it up in the middle, and use it as a playroom.
Li Mo informed Song Dashan of his thoughts, and then Song Dashan took Li Mo to buy some gifts and went to the next door.
The shop next door was indeed very empty. There was only one counter. Behind the counter was a cabinet with items placed on it. Then there was a small warehouse for the goods, and nothing else was left behind.
Li Mo sighed in his heart: It’s really a waste of space, if only let her use it all.
Song Dashan came forward and shared their thoughts with the boss next door, who frowned and said nothing.
Seeing that the boss hesitated instead of directly rejecting it, Li Mo felt that there was a play, and immediately said: “Boss, look, your shop is so big, but there are so few places that are really used. Other places are empty and wasteful. It’s better to give us a piece of space. We can buy it or rent it. This will not delay your business. You can also have an extra income, which is more cost-effective.”
The boss didn’t say anything, still frowned, but he was really moved by Li Mo’s words.
Even though his family has been doing business here for so many years, they can only make ends meet, and they don’t make much money, because joss sticks and paper money can only be sold on certain festivals. Usually there is very little business. Fortunately, this shop belongs to their own home. Otherwise, they might not even be able to pay for the rent of the shop, and just like that, there is no way to make more money.
And what Li Mo said is very reasonable. There are indeed very few places that can be used in his shop. Many places are empty. There is not much goods in the warehouse separated from the back. If this is given to a place, It is indeed a sum of income, which can increase a lot of income every year, and it has no effect on his family’s business.
However, this is a big deal, and he cannot easily make a decision.
Li Mo’s eyes rolled and said, “Boss, let’s do this. You can think about it. You can go home and discuss it with your family. If we think about it, we can talk about it. What do you think?”
Hearing what Li Mo said, the boss nodded, “Okay, I’ll go back and think about it.”
Li Mo left the gifts he had brought, and then followed Song Dashan back.
Song Dashan asked Li Mo: “What if the boss doesn’t agree?”
Li Mo shrugged, “Even if you don’t agree, let’s think of another way, this matter can’t force others.”
Song Dashan pursed his lips and asked the question in his mind: “Madame, I think it is good to have another room for the children to play with, but you can still play without a gap. If you have to get one, it is actually It’s more than the expenditure. Actually, this expenditure is not obligatory.”
Li Mo smiled slightly and replied: “You are right. Actually, let’s not make a playroom. The kids still play. The advantage of making the lounge is quieter and more ambience, so that the kids can have fun. It’s true that we can’t make more money. However, when we open the door to do business, we always want to provide the best service to our customers. Although we spend a little more money, we will come more often if our customers’ impression is good. It’s not necessarily a loss to make money back in other ways.”
After listening to Li Mo’s words, Song Dashan suddenly laughed and squeezed Li Mo’s hand, feeling that he was really stupid. His lady will not do thankless things. What is he worried about? It’s better to cooperate obediently.
Li Mo waited quietly for two days, and two days later, the boss of the shop next door came over.
“Boss Song, I went home and considered it seriously, and decided to agree to your proposal. I can give you some space.” The boss next door said here, after a while, he continued: “But we can’t sell this place, we can only Rent it to you.”
In fact, he was thinking about waiting in case he wants to sell the shop in the future, and it is not easy to sell if one piece is missing, so he only decided to rent.
Normal people should think this way. It is impossible to sell a piece of space, so Li Mo is not surprised by the boss’s decision, but she still has something to say.
“Boss, I don’t know how much space you can give to my house? How much is the price?”
The boss pointed to the ground, “I can give you a place that is one foot long and three feet wide. The price is three taels of silver a year.”
Li Mo calculated it in his heart, and the area was about three by four meters. It’s completely enough for a playroom, and the area is acceptable.
But to be honest, renting such a small amount of space for a couple of dollars is not expensive in this town, but it is not cheap. Li Mo believes that if you have to counter-offer, you can actually pay back a little, but it is still that little. Money doesn’t make much sense to Li Mo, so I might as well do something more meaningful.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Mo said to the boss: “Boss, your price is really not low, but everyone is a neighbor, and I can’t let you suffer. If so, I won’t bargain with you anymore. , But you have to rent it to us for five years at a time. After five years, let’s talk about it. You can’t increase your rent for these five years.”
“This…” The boss hesitated when he heard that a rent would cost five years, and the rent could not be increased.
Li Mo said, “Boss, isn’t this request too much? If you can’t do it, then we can only regret that we can’t do this business.”
Seeing that Li Mo really wouldn’t give in, the boss hesitated for a while, and finally cruelly nodded in agreement, “Okay, that’s it.”
Li Mo smiled and said, “The boss is really refreshing, so let’s make a sentence.”
Finally, Li Mo gave the boss fifteen taels of silver at one time and discussed the specific details, and the lease relationship between the two parties officially began.
Song Dashan had already gone to the bricklayer, planning to divide the space next door with a wall as soon as possible, and then knocked a door between the lounge and the space next door.
Song Dashan will take care of the specific matters. What Li Mo has to do is think about how to decorate this playroom.
Now that there is a special playroom, it can’t be nothing like before. This playroom must look like a playroom, and the children’s entertainment projects must be as complete as possible.
First, you can draw some pictures on the wall to make the whole room full of warmth and childishness, and then you can hang some paper cranes or wind chimes and other decorations on the roof.
In terms of play, first of all, you can ask Mr. Zhang to play a few more small wooden horses in the playroom for the children to play, and then build a small table with a carpet on it, and put some low ones suitable for children to lie down. On the small table, there are some gomoku checkers that children can play for them to play.
Secondly, make some dolls and small cloth **** that the children like for them to play.
Finally, Li Mo wanted to create an ancient version of the slide. Amusement park, how can there be no slides?
However, this slide is a bit huge and complicated. I don’t know if Old Uncle Zhang can build it out of wood.
While Song Dashan was taking the craftsman from room to room, Li Mo drew the slide on the paper, and even marked the complicated parts so that Old Uncle Zhang could understand. The most important thing is to keep it stable and safe so that several adults can climb up at the same time without shaking, and the slide part should be smooth so that people can slide down at once.
Li Mo wrote down these points one by one.
After finishing the painting, Song Dashan asked Zhao Changbang to go back and ask Mr. Zhang if he could do it. If he could do it, let him do it. If he couldn’t do it, then forget it.
Zhao Changbang came back with a letter saying that Old Uncle Zhang would study it and see how to do it, and he couldn’t get the effect right away.
Li Mo said: “Okay, we are not in a hurry. Let Old Uncle Zhang study it slowly, and give it to us when the study comes out. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t come out.”
The playroom was done very quickly, and it was completed in a few days. After the completion, the room looked like an integral part of Li Mo’s shop from the inside, and had no connection with the shop next door.
Li Mo simply brushed the wall, and every night after the shop was closed, the family would decorate the playroom and put up the various toys that people had previously made and the furniture they bought. Since then, it has basically become a playroom that attracts children, except that there is no slide, and everything else is available.
Then Li Mo opened the compartment door and officially announced the existence of this playroom to the guests.
The women who came with their children are happy now, and those who think the children are noisy are also very happy. Of course, the happiest is the children. There is such a big place for them to play, and there are so many inside. The toys and the little friends who played together made the children reluctant to think about it. Even Xiaobao and Huzi couldn’t stand the temptation, and often ran into the playroom to play with other children.
What made Li Mo more happy was that after a month, Uncle Zhang’s research finally yielded results. The slide was made, exactly as Li Mo painted, and Uncle Zhang and his apprentices also I have tried it many times and it is completely safe and reliable. It is said that all the children in Uncle Zhang’s family fell in love with this fun project and asked Uncle Zhang to make one for them.
This slide cost Li Mo five taels of silver, but Li Mo felt it was worth it, because this thing is simply a treasure of the children, everyone likes to play, and even some children make trouble at home when they open their eyes every day. The adult brought him to Li Mo to play here.
As a result, there are more and more children in the playroom, which is like a small kindergarten. Of course, with more children, more snacks and tea are sold every day, and this part of the income is also increasing.
