bucket of cold water. *roll eyes*

i do believe that a music shop CAN be set up and be successful within a year.

Do whatever it takes.

If you believe its impossible... then YOU are impossible. In the meantime, don't spread the virus around.

 

[stars]

dunno ..

IMO music industry as with any industry ,

1) contacts
2) good deals
3) good nose for openings /Business opportunities
4) good business management

in order to survive in SG. i mean... i really think with the kinda standard the shops out there here provide , e.g luther , g77 ..

i think you forgot to finish your sentence.

 

[stars]

i think i did ... seriouslly man .... look at the other thread... the sweetie at davis got a earful from some rude asshole ..

but truth is , so as long as you are in retail , sometimes there are rude #$%^& who really deserve a slap in the face and a kick up the butt to learn whats call

R.E.S.P.E.C.T ( its a song by aretha franklin)

hell , customers like tt spoil the local customer base ..

 

[squidospyder]

they should at least put the bag deposit counter behind the casher...
in that way it would safer for both the customer and seller at the same time

Actually they do. You just have to ask... Thick skin a bit like me, insist on putting my bass behind the counter! If cannot I sure make a fuss one. 8) I'm surprised so many people don't know about this... Its been argued about before actually, for nothing. But I mean you do have to ask them. Or else they tell you to put your stuff at the door.

 

[SUNNY]

Those that rip people off will be ripped off themselves. They can't get away with it for long.

well, swee lee have been getting away with it for years. they control the market man.... you can say what you want, but they still making money. and lots of it. and there's nothing you can do about it.

 

[Vio]

is there a possibility of the local music community boycotting them?

i mean... the people who voiced out here may only be a small percentage of the customer base out there. how many singaporeans are actually peeved enough with them to stop patronising swee lee for the next 5 years say?

i for one walked right in the swee lee bras basar for my Vic Firth sticks since no where else has them... sad...

are we ready for a boycott?

 

[brundisium]

forget about any form of boycotting, it won't go anywhere..
It will only make a laughing stock out of it

 

[pooo]

No boycott. Difficult in any case. Ultimately there'll be things you might NEED to get from Sweelee. The bigger more expensive items, try getting online instead where some companies offer at cheaper rates. The smaller items like boss pedals, no real choice is there?

 

[joel68]

Enough of it Guys... 8O

You have already ripped Sweelee by writing 6 pages of this thread !! :lol: :lol:

I dont think they need more than this as there is a sponser thread by Sweelee on this forum :?: :?:
