Annual Eid celebrations

Clearly, the main activity of the annual Eid celebration remains attending a relative's residence. On this particular occasion, relatives make sure to see each other at home.  They are amused by a wide variety of dishes. The sweet flavour of the most significant meal, sewai , seems to be blending with joy and celebration. Even so, traditional recipes are significantly altered for the celebration.  During a visit to a relative's home, it became more apparent that not only did the dishes on the table resemble those of a five-star hotel, but also...  The golden-coloured cutlery placed on the table created the illusion of an upscale hotel. Each item placed on the table served as a reminder of the refined and opulent way of life.

Do street shops compete with malls?




Is there something we want to distinguish over the inflationary days? Retailers are at ease making profits despite the presence of well-furnished malls at every nook and corner. This is close to reality. 

However, malls try to attract better customers by offering them online discounts. Comparatively, the old-styled street shops do not look disheartened in running their business. They are supposed to bring or gain satisfactory profits pursued by whatever sales occur in a day. 

Upon asking the cunning shopkeepers we learn that their daily business goes far satisfactory despite the presence of well-furnished malls at all corners.

They are supposed to face competition so they try to maintain average margins and ultimately discover their retail business profitable to a satisfactory level. Here in Jajmau, the street shops conduct their business before the existence of the malls under the defined rules regarding retail sales.

They also meet the daily demands of the surrounding area consumers. This quality appears as the secret of their ongoing business. The difference can be easily noticed in the shop's retail business. 

Looking at the deal trends in the two shops, we realise that the retail shops in a particular area are correct for the retailers sell varied daily use items at a fixed price. Price differences draw the consumers' attention at first sight. 

This can be easily fathomed by approaching those retail shops individually. If one remains rigid on price the others exhibit some generosity in reducing the prices. It is a simple principle for running a retail business. This does not vary from bulk trading in the market. 

It is those spiralling middle-of-the-day sellers' feeling to improve retail sales, and as a result, they remain more stressed about improving the business profitability.
