first marketing survey at the U.K.
is conducted last week
at Manchester
which houses the largest Primark in
the whole of the U.K.
heard of its price-friendliness
but it is even better than what I have imagined
in terms of store layout, designs and etc..
because low prices always come with a “price”
it is actually a pretty comprehensive departmental store
not so much of a difference
from the Zebra, Toptop or H-i-m stores
which offer the similar ranges
at different tiers of pricing
and during of the marketing lecture
the lecturer, who is once a marketing director
for some public listed company
actually makes a joke of
how Primark ridicules Zebra
by opening a huge stores
flooded by the Spanish communities
right opposite the headquarter of Zebra
here you go,
\
this is a preliminary round of marketing survey
- under the tight surveillance of my Ms. Manager
- just to grab a few essentials
- no point sweeping then transporting loots all the way to London and spend another 4 weeks here
- I would still look around at Zebra, Toptop or H-i-m stores
the most impressive department
which really drove me crazy is
the shoes area, canvas shoes particularly
girls were just trying
and throwing the shoes around
sales persons keep busy all time
arranging the shoes back to the original spots
and check out the price
it goes as down 2.50 per pair
for the plain black or white
the priority is to “settle” the besties’ wish-lists
Sue-yin who ordered a pair of oxford shoes
I have no idea how many pairs she have bought
since we last met..
so it’s kinda challenging
must find her something unique
isn’t this awesome
I thought of grabbing a few as souvenirs
since they are significantly U.K.
pretty easy to transport them back as well
but…
thought of keeping them for Primark at London
unfortunately
I actually did not see these at
Oxford St. branch, London
now I have to rethink what I gonna buy
for the friends
who are close enough
to give them something
but not so close enough
to receive a shopping list from them
I hope you get what I mean
loots of the day:
I finally go for the dark brown
because.. I don’t know
gut feeling tells me that
she is yet to own oxford shoes of this colour
bag(s) for Cheryl
something huge and handy
since she always has got quite a bit of stuffs
even more than me, I think
since she sometimes uses a ceramic water bottle
grabbed two, instead of one
I don’t know…
probably would give it to my boss sis
provided that she approves of the design
this is one of the essentials
I actually forgot to bring
7 pairs for 2 pounds
and they actually have neon colours too
the quality is not too bad
I have washed them twice
and hanged them on the heater
didn’t shrink in size
shoe liners…
erm.. a classy name for socks
umbrella is something I hardly use back in Malaysia
but given the unpredictable weather here
this is quite a vital kit
which has to be in the bag all the time
thank goodness I found this design
and it is super light weight as well
at the price of 4 pounds
three pairs of tights for 3 pounds
actually I would say it’s a pretty good buy
I wore them twice, not torn yet at least
washed them once, on the heater currently
not burnt out yet
Primark has a pretty “comprehensive”
legging/tights collection
opacity of 40, 60, 80, 100, 120
and they come in different colours
damn..
I forgot to bring the two pairs I purposely bought
and never been worn before
first time ever in my life
to wear a pair of tights/leggings
but it’s doesn’t actually feel as weird
as it is back in Malaysia
because given the cold weather here
wear it or shiver in coldness
that’s the first ever blazer
that’s the first ever tights
nautical bag for 4 pounds
so glad that I got this
did not see it at London, too
comparing it with my Roxy
which is like 4 times more expensive
that’s after 50% discount
no comment… no comment
everything..everything
for 35 pounds
consecutive Saturday
Primark again..
Oxford Street, London
where I put on a proper marketing survey
