SLC31-W3: Shop & Share Challenge - Street Market Purchase

Purchasing dress

✓ Tell us why you chose that street or open market

Today I will share a street market. Where I went shopping.It's name was Momin's shop. Basically I was looking for some clothes for my daughter. Which are very comfortable to wear in the summer. And in these street markets, a good variety of clothes are available. Especially small clothes and pants items for children are very good here. And the prices are very reasonable. You have to buy clothes at a high price from some markets, but here the same clothes can be bought at a much lower price. And that's why I basically chose this market to buy some clothes from here.

✓ The price of the item you purchased from the street or the open market

I mainly bought some small shirts from here that could be worn by children. And the price of these was very low. However, there was a time when two to three shirts could be purchased at this price. But nowadays they are in the same range everywhere. I first bought four shirts from here. Each of which was 50 taka.

However, I saw clothes for my son but they were not of very good quality. Moreover, the price is very high. A shirt is asking 120 taka. Which is actually very high according to the quality. That is why I did not buy them anymore. However, it turns out that some small shirts that are very high quality can be purchased from here at a low price. But of course, you have to bargain here and then buy the clothes. Otherwise, they ask a lot of money first.

✓ Describe your shopping experience, including pricing, bargaining, and product quality

In this shopping, it is basically seen that in these street markets they ask for a lot of money at first. Later, if there is a bargain, it is reduced a lot. Especially, it is seen that the price is quoted a lot according to the quality. So that if you bargain, you can sell the product at a profit.

However, when we were looking at them, they asked for only one for 120 taka but later they said they could keep it up to 60 taka. But later we were able to buy it for 50 taka. Basically, you can profit only by bargaining in these shops. That is, good quality clothes can be purchased at a low price. But in the fixed price shops, these quality clothes are priced quite high.

✓ In some places street or open markets usually cause traffic describe how busy the street or open market is

It is a street market and can also be called an open market. However, since it is right next to the road, there may be traffic problems here. But there is space on the opposite side. Due to which it is like an alley, customers can stand and look at clothes and shop. So it can be said that there is no possibility of traffic jams here. However, in other cases, when shops are located on the road, traffic problems arise. Which is very annoying for everyone. From that point of view, the shop being on the road is also very beneficial.

✓ What is your advice to the street or open market sellers to improve business performance?

When we went, we saw that all the dresses that are currently seasonal are there. However, there are some more products here, if they keep those products on a variation basis, then there will be a rush of customers. When we went, there were not many customers there. However, there were many customers in the shops inside. If this shop brings clothes of different quality, then their customers will definitely increase and their sales will increase.

Overall, I felt very good after reviewing this shop. Especially, the clothes here were of very good quality and it was possible to shop from here at a reasonable price through bargaining through the price. If we did not get any receipt from here, we paid in cash.
