Hello people,
I have always wanted to have a place for us, pet lovers to call a home. We want a place to gather, we want to feel welcome not only to buy stuffs but also feel comfortable just to tag around with our pets, we need to buy stuffs but we want to support for a good deed!
Now, I want to make it a reality, not just blank talks, so please let us build it up 2gether!
OK, the plan. I have decided and rented a shoplot @ NZX Ara Damansara, indoor. The very reason i chosen there is because, the mall is a pet friendly mall, meaning you don't have to hide your pets like smuggling or to be afraid to bring in pets and get sho0O away by the guards. And hey, how many times we feel so frustruated when we want to bring our pets along with us yet there is too limited stuffs we can do with them?! NOW, we have a chance, to do it, together.
Our petstore is at the first floor, reason simply because the rental for ground floor is way too expensive for me to afford as we are not gonna bring in pets from millers to drill for huge sum of profits, and placing our hide out @ 1st floor meaning only pet lovers that will love to see your pets will go up there, those donkeys or those just kepo kepo with no heart for animals wont go in + out as they wish, staring and pointing at your pets. We donwan a petstore that want us to buy stuffs then go. So, we will allocate a space as a sitting area, for pet lovers to relax with their pets, have a cup of coffee and cookie, chit chat with other pet lovers, and if possible on9.
We do feel pity for those pets which are place behind the glasses, if we can't hear them, smell them, feel them, samething happen to them! These babies will feel worry and isolated, poor thing. We will allocate them a space, not isolating them with glasses, and will encourage pet lovers to wash their hands clean and socialise with the pets. As for puppies, we will wee wee pad train them to pee + poo before selling them, we wouldnt simply just ask the owners to cage them 24 hours in the cage and say "just leave them inside, once they pee + poo, clean up the tray, easy!" just to sell 1 more cage. We want to tell the owners the puppies are actually smart enough to learn, and you will get a calmer, smarter puppy if you provide them more freedom yet not worrying they will simply pee + poo. We want to educate the right thing.
Alright, the concept of our petstore. We do not believe in spending 100k in renovation and POOF! Customers will love it! We want to think from customers point of view, and to differentiate from other pet stores to attract customers. We intend to form a club, FLUFF PET CLUB, to do something meaningful where we will organise outings for members, celebrating birthday parties with the furkids, promoting responsible pets ownership, educating pet owners to learn how to differentiate good and bad products, and the one i must touch on, to contribute to the charity, as well as trying our best to preserve the environment which in turns protecting the animals!
All the missions are only blank talk if no first step is taken, I've taken the first step by rented up the petstore, so now, ARE YOU IN?!
The very next thing we going to do, is obviously, to "FILL UP THE PET STORE". When i'm saying this, it doesnt mean filling up with stocks, we want to fill up the values. For instance, our concept of the petstore is to use as much recycle stuffs as possible. We understand that there are things that we must buy it brand new, but we are sure there are a lot more space for us to use recycle stuffs, to help a little bit on preserving the environment. Lesser trees cut down = lesser killing of animals!
So I need some help here. Any of you here have any idea of how to make good use of recycled stuffs? Do you have any recycled thing that can be make to good use? Do you know of any places which selling recycled / 2nd hand thingy? Also, purchasing 2nd hand stuffs / recycled stuffs normally means we need to transport these things ourself. Anyone with vans or lorries? We are trying to use recycled / 2nd hand thingy that will save environment, yet we need smart ideas to make the petstore looks proper and comfortable. Please be reminded that our petstore is not only focused on dogs, so other pet owners welcome to squeeze in your brain juices!There are many more plans ahead, let's solve this first task first. FEEDBACK FEEDBACK, let's make things happen!
I strongly believe a petstore will only be meaningful to set up if it is build step by step, by us, the pet lovers. We want it to be LOVE MOTIVATED not MONEY motivated. Of corse we want to gain a profit, but we want to make sure every cent earn, is meaningful.
