Why I like about buying from Madam Ugochukwu

She sold her things at affordable prices and she also treat her customers well. She doesn't get angry with her customers or embarrass them If they bargain prices of things too much. I really like the fact that she always appreciate her customers when they buy from her. Her things goods are sold at affordable prices.
She also sell in varieties.

Challenges

Every business must have one or two challenges. So do Madam Ugochukwu, she is facing many challenges in her business. Let have a look at fee of them.

  • High cost shop rent: Due to the fact that she has alot of goods , the landlord of that shop has increased the price of shop which makes it challenging to her because it will affect her gain in the business.

  • Competitors: There are about three people selling the same items as madam Ugochukwu is selling just in the same location. As a result of competitors, sh what to reduce the prices of her good which makes her profit less.

I'm sure Madam Ugochukwu is happy for sharing the business with the people of the world!

This business reminds me so much of the general farm dealer we used to get in the farm communities years ago.
The sweets in the bottles was always a highlight for me.
You brought back many memories. :-)

A great review! Thank you for sharing with us!

Her store definitely looks wonderful and comes with alot of basic things people buy. She must have taken her time to select these kind of goods. From the looks of it, her goods are far cheaper than the stores I use in kaduna. Competitors might look like a problem but healthy competition actually helps businesses improve. If I venture reach Akwa ibom, I would definitely patronize her. Thanks for the review and goodluck in the contest.

Thank you for this business review of Madam Ugochukwu's shop. Indeed, high cost of rent has forced some traders to either share rent or sell on the side of the road who is in a whole lot of way very very dangerous.

The gas cylinders were pocket friendly and suitable for students, but in recent times, they cost more than stove a million times and stove isn't even advisable for those that don't like washing back of pot.
