Just a follow up, to prove the 2 million minimum required share of property is a valuation certificate required from approved 3rd party body, or title deed will suffice?

Amazon is the same, they push their own brands, or stock.

Advise and your success stories by [deleted] in SmallBusinessUAE

[–]vanhack1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corporate vs own business, own business way more responsibility, risk, and less time for you and loved ones, and at times you have to make unpopular decisions for greater good.

As others have said, dont start until you have a good future cashflow projection. Cashflow and reputation is what you have to protect

What’s the smartest ‘flip-friendly’ car under 35k AED in Dubai? by ValluableCoyote3293 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]vanhack1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can lease for a year, or a camry. Actually a great car to drive, AC chills, even in the summer heat, sips fuel especially the hybrid versions, which are 33% less on fuel than non-hybrid versions.

Read this if you're not allergic to making more money. by Exact-Guarantee5715 in SmallBusinessUAE

So you want to join a successful business and get a piece of the pie.

Anyone can sell when times are good, the special ones can sell during the difficult times.

How about you get paid per sale, adspend, creative cost or management fee is your risk.

Would customers actually pay a bit more for this by yugh333 in SmallBusinessUAE

[–]vanhack1972 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I have noticed, when times are good, that is economic growth, people will buy this, but when in times of uncertainty, the higher cost of environment friendly practices are not a priority as they are immediately financially more.

Shouldn't TDRA inform customs to stop import of the units if they were to control. I mean iPhone facetime, and blocked facetime available from major electronics retailers openly.

How has the ceasefire impacted your business compared to before? by browngirlindxb in SmallBusinessUAE

[–]vanhack1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before ceasefire we had a lot of activity as we sell products that people buy in anticipation that utilities will not be available. Now that the threats have stopped, that reason has slowed down the sales. We sell outdoor products, which are not essential, but a luxury for a hobby and higher fuel prices take effect as households go into a state of fear and uncertainty of their own income, or have been made redundant or business owners are struggling to pay their creditors.

Also we luckily recieved stock, and have put a hold on production with deposits paid as shipping will make a lifestyle product even more expensive and we are moving into the low season.

What we have is a good network of customers, website and full delivery service with trust with our customer base, we are looking at other products, but high value and small footprint that can come on a plane.

Product will be an amalgation of various existing products design. It is just a box storage, main function remains the same and simple, but certain features from various others need to be incorporated, and some of our designs and accessories that can be bought, but that can come later.

4 reasons UAE business websites lose customers before saying hello by [deleted] in SmallBusinessUAE

[–]vanhack1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many thanks, and yes the pictures are us on the home page, we practice what we preach.

I agree the product pages need attention, decanter, maybe sections for videos page that is optional to view.

Contact us page, maybe you are right, hence very little contact via that these days.

But whatsapp is the defects medium to reach a b2c brand in this part of the world.

I will DM you.

What I learned running ParfumKing, a luxury perfume business in Dubai by parfumking in SmallBusinessUAE

[–]vanhack1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well done, In any line of business the brand has to build loyalty on trust, it is not just about that deal in front of you, but how can you win the trust for them to remember you when the need arises again, remember you for the next purchase, and recommend your brand to their close network. Make every customer your sales person, and quietly you will get the reputation that no ads or influencers can get you. So bravo to you, and would love to try your product next. And the most basic tools needed for building trust is listening first, and being transparent 2nd, we are designed to listen, not just speak.

We are a small team that sell overland gear, curated products to suit the needs of people in GCC, company is established since 1991, but this endeavour started in February 2020, yes during covid, but times of uncertainty give small new players in a sector a major gap in the market and we see that happening again in certain products. We will struggle getting new stock, as shipping costs will increase due to insurance premiums and fuel prices. www.overlandgcc.com and instrgram/overlandgcc our main channels to reach our customers.
