Hello, it gives me great pleasure to communicate with you about how am fairing on with my business. It has been quite some time since I commented on my business. The month of August was a fair month in terms of clothing, shoes and cosmetics business in Nakuru town.
There are two instances which happened in Nakuru which helped my business to boost a profit. The first one was the big turn out of Christians who came to Nakuru. I was able to sell lady’s shoes, and some cosmetics, this really made my profits to shoot to higher levels. The second issue was that of the National music festival of schools .it was also held in Nakuru town. Here, also I was able to cash in and I got a good profit . I am hoping that my business will pick up and give me profits on a daily basis rather than wait for an event for the business to pick.
Two thinks I noted about the business was that , my location was strategically located , hence as people passes by they could peep and just ask about the items and the second time , they passed by they could purchase an item. The second good thing I did was I hired a sales lady who marketed our merchandise and thus new customers came in either to check , inquire and ask the prices of our goods.
I noted that , sale promotions are very important in business, without them , customers might not know what you are selling. Also it is important to locate your business at strategic places so that you can attract more customers.
Lady’s products , that is shoes and cosmetics , can fetch a lot of profits if , you as the proprietor goes for quality and affordable items ,other wise people might not come to your shop.

  Dear Veronicah,
  Thank you for the eloquent description of your business strategy and progress.
  I understand that it's important to have "sales" to get customers in the door and interested. You sound like a very smart business woman indeed!
  I enjoyed reading your update and look forward to more.
  
  I do have two questions for you, and I hope you don't mind. The interest rate you are paying on your loan is near 10%. Would you be able to obtain a loan locally in Nakaru? How does your Zidisha rate compare to what you would pay for a local loan?
  Thank you for your update and your indulgence.
  
  Sincerely,
  Marvin

Dear friends, it’s the best gift I ever got this year. Small business suffers most since they do not have security. Hence, this small business remains small for ever.
I run a business which deals in selling lady's shoes and cosmetics. Ladies are considered to be good business customers. Especially things to do with beauty, they attract a big pool of women customers. My goods are demanded by many customers because i always bring the latest goods in the fashion industry.
so far the business is profitable .
But thanks to Zidisha , I do see so many small business coming up and making it big. Where in this world will any body give you a loan without any security, maybe shylocks and they charge you heavily ( over the sky) , hence you eventually close shop as you can not repay them.
Personally, I have been impressed so much with Zidisha , that , I intend to be an ambassador of this organization so that we can do clean and helpful business, online. Most of our friends do not trust online business, having been victims of bad , business, but with Zidisha , we see ourselves doing wonders in the field of business.
I want to thank you personally, ( anonymus ,Foreclosedjapan,HildeK,Joaoferraz and mewesten) for coming to my help and assisting me with the cash so that I can boost my business. I assure you all that I will use the money for the purpose it was intended. Thereafter, I also promise to repay the loan on time.
There are many challenges in business , but ones the cash issue has been taken care of , I think it lessen a lot of burden to me , and I can then concentrate on other issues.
Am foreseeing a lot of improvement in my business God willing and with you, lenders help am seeing good deeds happening this year.
