A topic was raised to me at the recently monthly gathering. It’s about "Gathering fellow members to join in bulk purchases". We had also members raising this sometime in the forum; but members have not taken this idea up. Actually, it was Jonathan Ong, who raised this up with me; and I remembered Kenneth Tan had also raised this before, with ovaltines.<\/p>\n
Some members had raised ideas of co-operatives too. Put it this way, I support this idea, although I don’t think we need to set up a co-operative. The doors are open; and if you yourself want to purchase a produc<\/font><\/strong>t, and you know a company is willing to give you a good discount if you can gather 5 persons to buy the same product with a 10% discount, by all means, go ahead and let other members know, through the Club’s forum. Make sure it is a good deal and offer. It can be a cruise, 3 months supply of ovaltine, 3 sets of notebooks, 20 kopitiam vouchers, a car pool, two-to-go trip to anywhere, anything…<\/p>\n As long as we keep out of MLM products, I hope you can share your good buys with other members. State the original price and the offer price or discount. State the closing date. Please do not use this as an advertising, even if you have no interest.<\/p>\n If you do not get the number of people to participate in the bulk purchase, please let members know by the closing date. This would be courtesy.<\/p>\n I have created a new category called "Group buying".<\/p>\n Terence Seah <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A topic was raised to me at the recently monthly gathering.
