have been talking about
buying a Casio watch for ages
from the basic analog to
a denim print G-Shock
was indeed kinda shocked
to find out that
the denim print isn’t really denim
yeah just printed on
last week
kinda random
my niece is celebrating her birthday
and she has been talking about
wanting a watch which is
similar to my Nixon Re-run
did some research with her online
and went in-store to
check the actual product
and to buy it if the price
doesn’t differ much
to realize that this is kinda small
and doesn’t really match
a girl at 10 years old
so i decided to get this one
having gotten her to approve it
kids these days tend to be
a bit more choosy than us
the black one looks pretty ok too
this was what i did to ask for her green light
and for the reasonable price
at 99 MYR
happily bought it
without checking it again online
to be told that
there’s an additional 20% off
and be just in time to give her
during her Lunar birthday
it’s fun to see how
online and offline shopping actually
interact with each other these days
checking in-store, buying online
checking online, buying in-store
and getting the service
is probably a plus point of
shopping in-store
being told in person
about the warranty
handed to you in a paper bag
i used to wonder if
this small store selling only Casio
hidden next to the ATM corner will survive
and apparently i was wrong
because while people are
queuing up or waiting for their friends
they actually check out the store
and wow this small store
is apparently not that small after all
which is kinda smart because
when i first thought of buying a basic Casio
the idea of walking into a huge store with
a couple of salespersons with
many different brands is kinda daunting
so this technique of having different stores
catered to different target groups kinda works
not forgetting at the unnoticed corner
next to the ATM corner
