SLC26-W4 | Street Business Diaries: Service-based professions.
Hello everyone
Assalamu Alaikum, dear family, respected blogger brothers and sisters. Hope everyone is well. I am @samhunnahar, joining you from Bangladesh. First of all, thank you very much to dear @Max-pro brother for selecting such a beautiful topic. I am back in the fourth week of the Learning Challenge to share with you a roadside watch repair business. I feel very happy to share with you different types of roadside challenge businesses. Because in any country, there are some roadside traders. Whom do we really need? I really liked seeing these topics. So I came without delay to participate in the competition.
What types of service-based occupations are most in demand in your area? (Barber, mechanic, watch/glasses repairer, van ice cream vendor, etc.)
Although we live in a developing country. Not only that, in any developed country, you can see various types of mechanic shops, various types of ice cream shops, barber shops, watch repair shops, or glasses repair shops on the side of the road. If suddenly your bicycle breaks down or your tire breaks while you are passing by, you can immediately get it fixed at these shops. Again, when you feel very tired on the road during the summer, you can eat an ice cream from a van. This is very convenient and brings peace of mind to us.
Many times, it is seen that the battery of the watches we buy for our use suddenly dies. Or the watch we buy is not perfect in our hand, so we have to cut the chains and make it perfect for wearing on our hand. So we have to go to the watch repair shop. Or if the glasses we use for hobby or work are a little old, we can change them by changing the glass. Along with everything, we also need a barber shop for hair cutting in our daily life. Not one thing, but everything is in demand in our area.
Because we need one or the other thing in our daily lives. Ice cream vendors come in vans in the village. If we want, we can easily buy ice cream from the van. When we cannot enter a salon, we can get our children's hair cut from the barber shop on the side of the road. Adults can do their necessary work. Moreover, the need for watch repairers and eyeglass repairers is very high.
Have you ever used these services yourself or purchased anything? Show pictures + videos and show their prices?
I use these services. I have good experience. I sometimes change glasses. I repair glasses because I have eye problems. So I have to use glasses constantly. Moreover, wearing watches is one of my hobbies. I use watches constantly, so sometimes when I buy a watch, I have to fix the chain. Again, the battery of the watch runs out, so I have to change the battery. I have been acquainted with watch repairers since childhood.
When I was in college, I used to wear watches. When the watch chain would come loose or the battery would die, I would come to this shop. This is a shop I have known for a long time. They provide batteries at very low prices, and they provide services very easily and quickly. They treat their customers very well. Today, someone took two watches from me whose batteries were dead.
As soon as I left, they changed the batteries in my watch. Batteries are of different prices. There is a battery priced at 170 taka. Moreover, some cost 35 taka and some cost 75 taka. But I took a good battery priced at 170 taka. After going, they fixed the watch, and I brought it back after fixing it. When I repaired the watch, I recorded a video with his permission. Moreover, I took some photographs of him from there. I took some photographs of the surrounding area.
I have shared the video and the accompanying photographs with you.
I have shown you the prices that I asked for while repairing the watch in the form of a list.
| Product name | Repair status | Taka (Local Price) | Steem Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Watch | Good quality battery | 180 taka | 10 steen |
| Watch | Medium quality battery | 75 taka | 4 steem |
| Watchl | Low quality battery | 35 Taka | 2 steem |
Were you satisfied at the end of the work, or were you ever disappointed?
To be honest, I am satisfied with their work. Because they have a small shop sitting on the corner. They do not charge so much, and they provide watch service if they get a small profit. They do not have any claims. I have been very satisfied since I started getting services from them. Because they provide watch batteries at low prices, and they last for a long time. Because these watch batteries do not have a guarantee, many times, cheap batteries last longer.
When you ask them anything, they answer with a smile. They do not treat people badly at all. When I was repairing watches, I asked them several questions. They answered me very nicely and with a smile. Not only me, they served two or three other people after I left, and they also got service very quickly. People come to them from far away to repair watches or glasses, and they can repair them and leave them standing there.
Do people appreciate the work of the shopkeeper? If you have personal experience, please tell us.
I can definitely say that people appreciate the businesses of these shops. Because we get services at low prices, people come here to get services at low prices. When we go to a big market to repair watches or glasses, the market charges three times more than the price we can pay to repair them from roadside repairers. When we repair from big markets, they give the same services.
But they charge a lot more. And when we repair watches from roadside watch repairers, they repair them with the same things, but since they sit on the side of the road, they do not have to bear any expenses, so they provide watch services at low prices.
I really like their services very much. It is not just the services of watch repairers that are the same as those of rickshaw repairers or bicycle repair shops. They also provide services at very low prices. And the ice creams we get from vans are much better for our satisfaction. I feel very happy to be able to participate in this competition.
And I don't know if I was able to answer the questions correctly, but I felt very happy to be able to answer the questions. I hope everyone will enjoy visiting my blog today. Thank you very much to everyone for taking the valuable time to visit my writings today.
