one year

About a year ago, I decided to offer this personal shopping concierge service to even more people besides friends.  One of the rewards is becoming acquainted with many like-minded customers who share my shopping philosophy.

On a home visit to Singapore, I was astounded by the state of retail and how things are generally overpriced.  There are limited options for bargain hunting and very often the discounts offered barely make a dent on the prices.  It is hardly surprising that many have turned to online shopping or have chosen to make that big ticket purchase while on vacation (it gives the item a story too, how neat!).

That one cursory trip to a couple of malls has reaffirm my conviction to never pay retail again.  Time to disrupt retail.
