Pickle Sale at BEVCO by Kudambashree (Small Biz Product Cross Selling )

 

Netholi Pickle ( SJ Poultry)

Bills on the Floor

Unkept Floor at BEVCO Outlet

It's a familar sight in this booze outlet shop in Trivandrum. The tell tale sight that it's run by a committe, not a private individual who would be worried about the next door competition. 

So, this post is not about the problem with the unkept premises of BEVCO. Well, it's easy to complain as I'm not sure how they are understaffed or overworked in a such shops!

I have a solution for you guys. A suggestion that might work! 

Here's the thing! I recently bought netholi pickle from a chicken store. I liked the taste and I wished it could be a good touchings when I have booze! 

Now the suggestion is this - what if BEVCO centres have a stand where customers can pick snacks, water ( kerala Govt made water), Kudambashree made Pickels and condiments, and chappati made by Prison inmates, etc. 

Here's how it could be implemented:

1. Set-up a stand to keep such stuffs inside the BEVCO centre. A kudambashee member can manage it or even suggest customers about the options. Along with their titbits, they can sell, chilled water ( Kerala Govt made mineral water - Hilly Aqua), ice cubes ( keep it in a thermacol box), cups and spoons ( Natural ones made by a small biz unit in Trivandrum.)

2. Kudambashee products will be verified for quality and taste! ( Customer feedback will be taken) 

3. Kudambashree will be given the space free of cost or will be charged a nominal amount. 

4. In return for the space, kudambashree members will have to sweep the premises ( 4 times a day), cleaning the paper bills on the floor, dropping it in a waste basket, clearing any empty bottles lying around, and making the space clean all the time. 

If Kudambashree members are not available for this project, then they can buy these from outside vendors ( vetted by the BEVCO) and sell it in their space. 


What do you think of this plan?

Along with it, these booze stores can sell, carry bags ( made by small biz ventures), and even provide a list of verified bar staff ( who can be mix and serve drinks in a party).
