How Groupchats Bring Sales for My Friend's Watch Shop

Many people see groupchats as a waste of time.  There are far too many irrelevant messages, videos and photos and yet we cannot delete them for we depend on groupchats in our life.  In another article, I talked about what to do to make groupchats useful.  Today let's focus on how groupchats can help a retailer: my friend's Watch Shop.

As we know, retail rent is high so most retailers at best make 2% to 5% of net profit on sales.  If we factor in the long hours, the net profit is simply not there.  How can we use groupchats to improve the net profit of retailers?

First, we form Groupchats under WeChat and Whatsapp and print out the groupchat's QR codes. If you don't know how to do this, please message me here.

1.  Scan to Join

For everyone that passes by our shop, we ask them to scan our groupchat QR code to immediately enjoy a free drink worth $9.90 and immediate 20% discount on our watches.   We use both Whatsapp and Wechat QR codes, simply because not everyone uses WeChat and even if they use, most are not regular WeChat users.  So we have also use Whatsapp.

If the scanning rate is not 100%, we offer small gifts worth $20 to entice them.  Note that by doing this, the passer-by is giving us permission to contact him.  If you want to be safe from PDPA rules, you can ask them to sign a form.

2. Capture Data

When they scan our QR code, they join our groupchats.  From here we capture their mobile numbers (for Whatsapp only as WeChat does not display mobile numbers), name, photo and some of their particulars (which we uncover when we go inside their WeChat Moments)

3. Group People Further

Next, we group the people inside the groupchats into man and woman, for we have different products for them.  We may also group the people further by age if necessary.


4. Give Value

From here on, we offer valuable information related to watches, clocks, digital clocks, and also on time management and personal development.  With such value, people will stay inside the groupchats.

5. KEEP NO SELLING for 2 Weeks

By doing the above, plus offering free products and huge discounts on selected products, we will attract more people to join the groupchats.  Of course we encourage our groupchat members to invite their friends to join by offering freebies.  We will continue doing this for 2 weeks and will not ask people to buy anything YET.

6. Get Sales

After 2 weeks, the groupchats would have stabilised and we can start promoting our products and ask for the sale.  To speed up sales closing, we offer payment via mobile phones, eg. NETS mobile, Paypal links, IPAYME, WeChat Pay, Alipay and other payment gateways.  We also offer FREE delivery for purchases above $100. .

By doing the above, we capture a whole lot of customers and prospects data, plus getting new sales and repeat sales.  Imagine each day we can capture 25 people, we will have 9,100 databases in a year.  Surely this database alone will be worth at least tens of thousands, right?

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life.
