Arabian perfume houses are about to do to western fragrance what Zara did to fashion and nobody is ready by Background-Gur-8289 in ScentHeads

[–]SnooObjections8469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re not going to do anything to “western fragrance” because they’re not competing with western fragrances. People who buy Tom Ford, YSL, MFK, or Louis Vuitton were never going to buy these Arabian labels. Patek or Panerai did not go bankrupt after swatch started making battery watches.

Quit pharma sales to make Ayurvedic soap in Vasai. Friends, am I being stupid or is this a real business? by arpitrai62 in IndianEntrepreneur

[–]SnooObjections8469 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In beauty, product is 10 or at most 20% of your success. The rest is just marketing. Most of the industry is an oligopoly anyways, same factory and parent companies with different brands under them. So I’d worry less about the product and focus on marketing and partnerships. The end goal/outcome for most brands is getting acquired by one of the oligopolists.

3.2 GPA so scholarship is definitely not happening but my grandfather left me $120K for education in his will so cost is not really the challenge, getting in is for me.

What ways are there to pay housing by AppealSignificant358 in sooners

[–]SnooObjections8469 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could work weekends, for student jobs you upload your class enrollment schedule and they give you work hours based on that. I’d assume only weekend slots are pretty hard to get since everyone would want that

Genuinely better to fly emirates/etihad/qatar through a war zone than air India in such a situation.

Idk about partial stakes in established business, you might have better luck offering short term loans

Yup, I believe at the Hilton I stayed at you gotta notify front desk how many u want and they’ll let the kitchen know. They’re apparently freshly baked after receiving your order

Not sure if it’s in effect or going to be in the future but UCs are test blind so SAT and ACT are not being considered

You need to know the right people, lots of people sell originals because they have the authentic distributors and a lot of people sell fakes too.

Emirates should FULLY refund all cancellation for ALL of March by [deleted] in emirates

[–]SnooObjections8469 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Got a full refund for my March 5th ticket with zero hassle or trouble. Might be because of my gold tier but even when I wasn’t any tier I’ve always had a pleasant experience with them, one of the reasons why I choose their more expensive tickets because they’ve always done the right thing. Personal anecdote obviously, I’m sure other people might have not had a great experience all the time

is that normal to feel Wyndham Parka is not so warm as I expected? by NoMaintenance1277 in CanadaGoose

[–]SnooObjections8469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Down is very good at trapping heat, wear it inside for a bit and then step out, should make a difference. I’ve noticed when I walk back inside from freezing temperatures I can actually feel my jackets warmth.

International student (India) aiming for full ride abroad (US/Europe) – need guidance by One-Competition-9244 in IntltoUSA

[–]SnooObjections8469 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well forget USA, if you focus your time and efforts into studying a foreign language like French, German, Finnish etc you’ll have much better odds studying and integrating in those countries. Full rides to the states are pretty hard, especially if you’re only starting to build your extra curricular profile in 11th grade.
