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

Tell us why you chose that street or open market

Haier Al Ghani Electronics is an electronics shop located in Harappa Station. I have chosen this shop because here we get everything from one place. For example, if we want to buy a freezer or a water cooler, or if we want to buy an AC or any other electronic item, we can easily buy them from here.

First of all, I want to show you the exterior of this shop. In this exterior, you can see the big name of Hair written on it. This means that all the things they have are from the Hair company. Hair company provides things to people at reasonable rates, and in this shop, you will get to see that every single thing is from Hair.

This shop is not very big, but if you enter this shop, you will see this shop full of electronics in every corner. If you go to one side, then you will see all the refrigerators, freezers, and washing machines in the middle, and on top, they have decorated all the small electronics items like a juicer machine, microwave oven, and so on, which convinces all the customers to see things at a glance.

First of all, I want to introduce you to all the items in this shop that are being sold here. The first thing I saw here was the refrigerator. They are in very large numbers because it is the summer season. In the summer season, the refrigerator has become a necessity for a home, due to which its stock is also the highest, and the display here is also the highest. The refrigerator has been seen in large quantities in this shop.

The second most used item is the washing machine. The washing machine is an inverter machine, which includes both features. There is also a dryer and a washing machine, so you can see both of these things in one machine. Its stock is also available. Furthermore, the small items, which include an iron, a washing machine, a microwave oven, and a sandwich maker, all those items are also available.

Electric fans, which are the most used items in the summer season, are available in stock. The stock is not very large, but you can get the item from here according to your stated demand. Similarly, there is a water kettle, which is electronic, and they are also available in which you can heat water, cook, heat milk, or use it to heat anything in liquid form.

The most important thing is the air fryer. The air fryer is the thing in which we can cook chicken wings, chicken leg pieces, etc., without oil. It is mostly used in big restaurants. You can also see it here. Although it is a small store, these very valuable items are lying there.

The most important thing is that for those who cannot afford an AC in the summer season, there are water coolers that consume less electricity than an AC but provide you with complete cooling. Water is poured inside it, and ice is poured on top through the water, which is present in the ice pack, through which it provides you with cool air. Its stock is also at maximum quantity.

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

Now I want to tell you why I came to this shop. My main purpose was that we wanted to buy a refrigerator for our home. Our first refrigerator was broken, and we sold it. So we went to this shop to buy a new refrigerator. First of all, we saw different types of refrigerators, which had different colors, different quantities, different qualities, some were inverters, some were manuals, and some were digital. We saw all those things first.

After looking at all these things, we estimated what our range was, and we would buy the item according to that range, but we also had to look at the features available in them. Then we talked to the shop owner, who gave us advice on which type of item to buy because he knows which features are available in the manual and which features are available in the digital version. He told us all the features, but the main goal is that we have to look at our pocket money. We have to buy the item according to our pocket money, so my father and I had a discussion about it.

_{Choosing Fridge From Different Models of Hair}

After looking at all the refrigerators, we came to the conclusion that we will buy the digital inverter refrigerator because its advantage is that firstly, we will not have to adjust its temperature manually. Its temperature is controlled by AI. Through this, it will adjust the temperature itself. Second, it has various features. By various features, we mean that it has good capacity, the LCD installed inside is also large for light, and different zones are built into the refrigerator, which protect our things from spoiling, including the medicine box, which is made separately, and the fruit box, which is made separately.

The electricity consumption of all these refrigerators is very low because all these refrigerators are inverters. If we take a small size, then its electricity consumption is the same. If we take a large size, then its consumption is also the same. We only have to see the capacity, how much we need in our house, and accordingly, we selected a digital inverter.

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

We are sharing the model and price of the refrigerator we selected with you below, but before that, I want to tell you that the price of it online is 119,000, but we bargained with him because he also has to keep his profit. He had told us 110,000, but while talking, we finally reached 10,8500.

As I shared with you, we have chosen a digital inverter refrigerator, its color is visible in black and green shade with a white light lining on top, and an LCD is installed on the freezer above it through which we can set it through the touch screen. This is the Haier 458 IFGA model, which he told us has a retail price of 119 thousand, so we started bargaining with him.

After much discussion, we came to the conclusion that he would give us a refrigerator worth Rs. 10,8500. Accordingly, he made us a bill. The bill was manual because there was no computer there that could allow him to make digital bills, so he made us one on his letter pad.

There was no card facility here because we could not pay with a card. We could either pay in cash or make an online transfer. So I transferred them online through my Meezan Bank application. As much as they had said, as much as our bill was, I transferred my payment online to their bank account, thanks to which we finally got this fridge.

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

Al-Ghani Electronics is located on the famous market of Harappa Station, Naiwala Road, where there is a lot of traffic, but in today's picture, you can see that there is not much traffic here because it is evening time and people are heading towards their homes. All the shops are also closing, so there was not much rush. Usually, there is a lot of rush here, but here all those people were standing who were selling things, including fruits, vegetables, and various items.

All those people who are standing here to sell things are forced to stand and earn their livelihood as long as people are passing by. But the surrounding environment is calm and not too crowded. We can shop here without facing any kind of problem. If we want to reach this shop, we can come on our bike or by car. A Rickshaw service is available here, and a van service is also available. Through this, you can reach this shop.

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

I am mentioning my picture below here to express my presence so that this challenge can be completed. Furthermore, I do not see any kind of deficiency in this shop. The only deficiency that I see is the lack of space because this shop is small, but the goods in it are very large. All the goods are connected. If this shop owner has an open space, he can display his goods well. He can create a separate section for each item. In this section, only related items will be placed, through which any customer who comes will find it easy to find the item, and it will also be easy to see. He can touch and see each item himself.

My Presence At Al Ghani

The staff here is only one person, who is the owner of this shop, but he is a very kind person and treats others with love and affection, so there is no shortage in his service. The only thing he lacks is space. If he could open up the space and attach a shop or display these goods in a large hall, it would be very good. This is my point of view.

In this way, if they expand their space, more customers will come to see the larger store. There will be more standing capacity inside. More people will be able to see one thing at a time. In this way, their business will grow further.

I highly recommend this shop if you want to buy any kind of electronics. If you are in this area, then you must visit this shop, and you can buy any kind of electronics product from here at affordable and cheap prices.
