Dear Tailor,

This is your best time to cash out.

It's no longer news that the Federal government has decided to ease the lockdown from Monday 4th in Lagos, Ogun, and Abuja. There are, however, some measures outlined to curb continued widespread of the virus within the populace. Part of these is the compulsory use of face masks. Some other states in Nigeria have followed suit to enforce face masks, even immediately.

In the last few days, we have seen different shapes, shades, and colors of face masks in town. We have also seen different patterns of Ankara being used as face masks.

This is a very good opportunity for Tailors to make good money. Some people should pls think out of the box. Instead of making different shades and patterns of fabric, reach out to corporate organizations and make customized face masks for them, inscribe their logos. A lot of companies wouldn't want their staff to come to the office each day with different kinds of face masks and be looking like a fairly used masquerade. Even small companies of 5 staff wouldn't say no to such a creative idea.

Big companies can also use this as an opportunity to promote their brands, even share branded face masks as a form of Corporate social responsibility at this critical time.

Dear tailor, check your contacts, get in touch with that MD and CEO close to you, make a proposal, or even do a sample and give it to them. Try with one company and see how more people would be looking for you. Don't just sit there and be crying of no patronage. There may be no Owambe again in the next 6 months. Get creative. Start the way you are. Start now.

I wish you all the best.

Yours sincerely,
