| Today we can safety say there are over 50 carpet shops in Kuala Lumpur. We are very proud to be considered as one of the pioneer companies which contributed substantially into the appreciation of the carpet culture and art within Malaysia. The new trend has not been achieved instantly; it took countless seminars, newspaper and TV interviews and required a lot of patience and perseverance on our part, but eventually took off. The turnaround of the trend naturally required the balance of the supply and demand graphics to fill the vacuum created by the insufficient supplies and proper carpet retail outlets; Mega carpet not only increased its retail outlets within Malaysia to six shops, but also took the lead by organizing carpet auctions for the first time in Malaysia.
B) Auction
Our company’s purpose to choose carpet auctions as one of its main objective can be classified as such:
1) Purchasing the stocks in Mega quantities naturally creates favorable terms and discounts from the suppliers in comparison to the requirement of small carpet outlets, thus giving us the competitive edge over them.
2) Which in return offering this discount to the auction clients on a “determine the price yourself” basis through “no warranty” auctions. Our clients soon realized that they are able to purchase their carpet below the average market prices and in most affordable terms.
3) To blend the auctions with small seminars to help the newcomer digest and appreciate the carpet culture and art.
4) As the auction client have ample time to view and inspect the carpet on the auction list before the auction started, any inquiries they have had pertaining carpet of their liking have been briefed by our experts present there.
Therefore we consider both objectives have been considerably achieved as:
A) The present number of carpet shops definitely reflects our vision of immense change in public’s perspective over carpet.
B) The apparent increase of our auction clientele all over Asia Pacific.
We have been organizing successful auctions in West Malaysia, East Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia and very proud of the respond we have received from our clients and the trust we have built with them.
Needless to say, we are in constant search now of new objectives. |
