SLC31-W3: Shop & Share Challenge - Street Market Purchase

^{_{vegetable store}}

I went to a market to participate in this competition. Usually, fresh vegetables are available in the vegetable shops in the morning. I went to Joydevpur Bazar in Gazipur. It can be said to be one of the busiest markets. The market is open from morning till late at night. However, if you go to the market in the morning, you can get fresh vegetables. And most of our market is done from there.

Since the shop is a floating market, they sell products by the yard, so if you buy vegetables from such shops, you don't get a receipt. Usually, in big shops, a receipt is given with the product. So I didn't get a receipt.

---

Tell us why you chose that street or open market.

---

I have enough reasons to buy vegetables from such street shops. Because fresh vegetables are available in such shops, and the shop is located near our area. Since fewer products are brought in, they sell out quickly. Therefore, it can be said that the vegetables are available very fresh. And eating fresh vegetables is also good for our bodies.

The price of the item you purchased from the street or the open market

---

I bought only one gourd from the shop. Since I didn't need to buy so many vegetables, I had vegetables. That's why I bought only a gourd. And gourd curry is also very tasty to eat. I usually buy vegetables from such shops. Because fresh vegetables are available. I have already told you what vegetables I bought.

Describe your shopping experience, including pricing, bargaining, and product quality

---

The customers are satisfied with the quality of the products here. The reason is one thing, that is, fresh vegetables. Such fresh vegetables are also good for our bodies. The most interesting thing is that the price of vegetables is not high. You can buy fresh vegetables from here at a very affordable price. Especially those from middle-class families can also afford to buy vegetables from such shops. And the rich people find such fresh vegetables among all the adulterated ones. The behavior of the shopkeeper is quite good. Since people do business with the hope of profit, the shopkeeper makes little profit. Which I personally like. I am satisfied with the functioning of the shopkeeper.

---

In some places, street or open markets usually cause traffic, describing how busy the street or open market is

---

There are indeed many small shops like the Frog Umbrella on the side of the road, which causes traffic congestion. However, since the shop is on a van, it is easily transportable. Normally, people sit on the side of the road where there is less traffic. The shop is located in a place where traffic congestion is not affected. Being on the side of the road, there was no problem. However, when Eid time comes, there is a problem due to the excessive crowd of people.

---

What is your advice to the street or open market sellers to improve business performance?

---

To expand and improve the business of the market, I will have some suggestions for the sellers, which will help improve the quality of the business. It is stated below:

• Keep the shop clean and beautifully decorated so that the buyers will be interested in buying the products.

• Maintain transparency in determining the price of the products. The price can be increased or decreased, considering the buyers.

• Earn trust by using the correct weight, which is very important.

• Lastly, to reduce the crowd on the road, the shops can be arranged in an orderly manner if necessary. So that the common people do not have any problems.
