This saturday 22nd afternoon, a drizzling afternoon, my daughter and husband fighting on a TV channel to watch - and atlast POGO won...my interest were different wanted to take off on exploring expedition to ..guess !! The PONDY BAZAAR - Manchester of Chennai. I had parked my wagonr 2kms away from the main bazaar. A nice walk with a pack of popcorn of course with my sisy and mom catching up with old days togeather.. Streek hawkers selling clothes, trinklets. food, footwear, everything and one of the shop even sold TOPS 100/- ):- my nasty brain tiggered off, this advt slate and this shop had the most crowd . Very simple branding with great customer service the hawkers would sell more than a fancy A/C showroom. Thought may be MBA's should get their intern with them. Well !! newyear ahead, a great place to pick up cusotmised ,personalised hot made keychains wow very exciting, just for Rs.25/-. He sells dragons, heartshaped, teddy bear, geometrical figures. You pick and he engraves what you write and show him.. just in 3mnts he gives it toyou. A lot of smile and feel of conquering the world. May be he is the most learned person, he would insrcibe anything you write and show him, but he can speak only tamil. His main business is to engrave names on marriage gifts and "seer' what we call but his extended busines is 'Keychains". Few white visitors were his customers and just with a pen/paper and a smile he serviced their orders.. and Iam still learning the art of customer service..
Nov18, 2006, I was a part of a event organised by my earlier company. Just a afternoon meeting in AREVA conference hall with bigwigs of the company , debating on gifts to give their clients ,employees, and associates, names and suggestions drawn on huge budgets, fancy items, well 2006 being a rewarding year for economy the company could spend budgets, and this personalised small gifts would really mean more than a huge gift to carry home.
Chk out this Vendor just at the foot step of Rathna stores... making people happy .
My car keychain now has my name inscribed andy natesan....wow!!!
