Sirf aap ke liye.....

Yesterday, I asked a shakar-kandi wala near masjid door ‘shakarkand kia bhao hai?’

He said ‘50 rupe ke kilo’?

I said ‘itni mehngi?’

He said ’ doosron ke liye 70 rupe.. aap ke liye 50 rupe’.

I asked, "itni mehrbani kiyun?’

he replied ’ ghareeb hi ghareeb ke kaam aata hai’ :bummer:

Have you heard this ‘aap ke liye itne main’ while shopping?

Is this a desi technique corner of creating soft corner in buyers heart or this is normally acceptable marketing procedure all over the world?

One more thing do shop keepers specially ‘Cloth merchants’ offer ladies cold drinks around the world like they do in Jama Clothes, etc?

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

Yes i have heard that and that’s obvious they want to sell their goods.Sometimes they even say as you are our first customer since morning you will get a special discount.

They offer cold drinks,ice-cream and faloda in jewellery shops :mehr:

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

You mean all markets or areas like Sadar, Jama Cloth, etc?

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

and sometimes they say "app ek ghanta or kharey hu jaye mae or kaam ker dun ga: :hayaa:

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

in KSA?

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

mae pakistan ki baat ker rahi hun :nahi:

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

never experienced that :hmmm:

Re: Sirf aap ke liye.....

Yes I hv heard sirf apke liye...and thts when I feel like leaving the shop ...cuz im not ur relative jo aap mere liye kum kr rahe hain

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

Re: Sirf aap ke liye.....

Not sure about saddar but in my area they do!

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

And you leave after the shop keeper reduce the price? :smack:

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

Yep, I usually do. He could have reduced without saying sirf apke liye. Im not his relative jo he is saying sirf apke liye.
It annoys me.

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

how rude :snooty:

Re: Sirf aap ke liye.....

It's how they sale here,part of bargaining.

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

Its not even close to ‘rude’. I’m not obliged to entertain this kind of emotional blackmail for the purpose of selling their goods.

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

Not my cup of tea :nahi:

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

Exactly :k:
even he offered us lunch :cb:

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

“App kay liye itny hain” is selling technique… Shakarqandi wala might be sincere as he solely depends upon customers…

Profit margin in clothing industry is more… Fariha is right… selller of jewelry shop and expensive clothes offer cold drinks…one reason is profit… second may be a khushi ka moqa in customer’s life…

inti meharbanian sirf shadi viya kay moqay par hi milti hian…

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

Lol…pehlay customer…

Sometime, they tease by reducing price below the expectation…anger…?

Re: Sirf aap ke liye…

haN yeh to bahot sunne ko miltaa hai k “chaliye, aap[ke liye Rs. 2 kam kar duuNgaa”///yeh mehrbaanii duukaandaar kii chaalaakii hotii hai “Khushaamdii culture, you know!”

maiN ne ek nayaa tareeqa nikaalaa hai India meN shopping kaa…Hindu dukaandaar bahot superstitious hote haiN lihaazaa agar aap ikdam savere savere jaayeN [jab duukaan khul rahii hotii hai aur duukaandaar poojaa paaT meN lagaa hotaa hai] … us waqt vo sab se ziyaada iimaandaar hotaa hai [you have a win dow of about 10 minutes :cb:]

ek aur cheez, Hindu duukaandaar ek aur cheez men yaqeen rakhtaa hai aur vo hai “BOHNI” karnaa [first sale of the day]…the ideology is to please the first customer aur use Khaali haath nahiiN lauTaate…ab bargaining meN agar duukaandaar ko Rs.1 rupaye kaa bhii faida ho rahaa hai to vo us cheez ko bech degaa yeh kah kar k “ab aap se BOHNI kar rahaa huN is liye Khareed pe hii bech rahaa huN…bhagwaan kasam ek paise kaa bhii faida nahiiN huaa hai” :cb:

chalo jii, apnaa kaam nikal gayaa! :smiley:
