#club100 | My economic activity - Visiting a plastic screen printing business in my town

March 15, 2022 - Steem Kindness will distribute food packages for the elderly and poor people who live in Syamtalira Bayu and Syamtalira Aron Districts. Currently, preparations for these charitable activities have begun, such as buying basic necessities for aid packages, collecting data and verifying beneficiaries and making plastic packaging with the STEEM logo. Complete information about this charity program can be read : Go Around for Charity Programs - Distribution of Ramadhan Food Packages for the Elderly and Poor Communities in North Aceh Regency and Lhokseumawe City.

Sunday, 06 March 2022 - I visited one of the plastic screen printing service businesses located in Samudra District. On that occasion, brothers @f2i5 and @afrizalbinalka were also present. Our goal here is to place an order for plastic packaging for Steem Kindness Charity Activities as you read at the beginning of the post. This plastic screen printing service business is owned by a local woman and employs about 80 employees. Uniquely all of the employees are female. I myself am quite applauded and surprised because usually a business like this is owned or managed by a man, especially when the design is directly handled by the owner. Awesome !

RAJA PLASTIK is a plastic screen printing business that is already known by entrepreneurs or the surrounding community because of its completeness or type of plastic or bottle. Another consideration is that the price is also competitive with larger similar businesses. Entrepreneurs, government agencies or non-governmental organizations use bottles or plastic packaging to promote business/products or charities or other positive activities. When I entered the Raja Plastik store, I saw examples of several neatly arranged bottles on display. Raja Plastik uses four shop doors for his business ventures. Unfortunately, we couldn't meet the owner directly because he was in Banda Aceh. Meanwhile, the employees couldn't give a definite answer because we only wanted to order about 40 sheets of screen printing plastic for the packaging of the basic food aid packages. According to him, the minimum order for plastic screen printing is 500 sheets. He suggested for us to speak directly with the owner for negotiation.

Having noted down the owner's number, we decided to come back tomorrow or contact him first by phone. Next, I asked the need for my business "Steem Culinary" which will be opened in April. Steem Culinary will be integrated with STEEM by accepting payment methods using STEEM, SBD and TRX. I will also use the Steem symbol in this business venture. Businesses that are classified as Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises will use plastic bags, cake boxes and drinking bottles with the Steem logo.

After explaining the price, I decided to place an order for a plastic bag using the Steem logo, while for drinking bottles I postponed it because I would use the funds for other priority purposes in my business.

One of the doors of the "Raja Plastik" shop is also used to sell grocery and beverages such as juice, pop ice and other latest drinks. It occurred to me that if the drink rack used the Steem or Steem Entrepreneurs logo, it would certainly be more attractive for the #promosteem media. I also took the time to take photos of some of the businesses that are in that location.

The store "CEMAR JAYA" is right on the left side of "Raja Plastik". This business sells various kinds of household items. From my observation, the goods are very complete. It is highly recommended that you visit this business if anyone wants to buy household needs.

Still in the vicinity of the same location, there was also a female trader selling Geprek Chicken Rice. Although using a tent the place looks clean and sterile. 1 portion of geprek chicken rice sells for IDR 10,000,- or 2.26 STEEM. Classified as low prices with quality taste that competes with restaurants. Furthermore, across the street there is also a stall selling goat curry rice. The rice stall is always full of customers during the day, coincidentally when I was there it wasn't lunch time. 1 serving of goat curry rice sells for IDR 25,000, - or 5.65 STEEM includes 1 glass of cucumber water to control blood pressure. Consuming goat meat can cause high blood pressure, cucumber water is believed to neutralize it, therefore every goat curry rice stall always provides cucumber water for its customers so it doesn't harm especially those who are old. So for those of you who happen to be passing through the area during the day and need food, please stop by and buy fried chicken rice or goat curry rice.

After my needs are finished, then we go home to continue the next activity. Brother @f2i5 went straight to the "New Usco" store while me and @afrizalbinalka stopped by Hero Coffee Premium to enjoy a cup of coffee. it turns out that there are already bro @irawandedy and @jufrimj who are drinking coffee while making posts on Steemit. Then we joined in and engaged in a #learnwithsteem conversation until 3pm.

That's my economic activity on Sunday, March 6, 2022 - Hopefully whatever activities we do will benefit us, the environment and society. Keep the spirit and don't give up easily surfing on the Steemit platform, maybe you have been disappointed but rest assured that consistency and quality improvement will bring attention to your abundance of support and success in the future. ^{#chasing2dolphins}
