My first ever business through NAIRALAND is successful. the business is on November last year i made a post in nairaland looking for people who can help me market my high quality made in nigeria suits, shirt and trousers before i know it my post was deleted. it was later that i know what happened to my post, i made the post on the wrong place which is against the rule of this forum.
Last two weeks somebody from lagos made a post that he needs a good tailor who can make suit, i replied the post before i know it the man called me and asked me the price which i told him. The next question he asked was how will i know his measurement i told him to go any tailor that he knows , and the person will measure his, trousers length,waist and measure his sleeve {hand} chest and shoulder. he did all these things i told him. he asked me the price i told him that it will cost him #8500 eight thousand five hundred naira. this money cover the price of the material my hand work and way bill which i do through chisco transport.
while this man got his suit in a week time and promised to give me more job.
But what surprised me and my friends is that this is a man that i have not meet before in my life he trusted me. NOW I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE NIGERIANS WHO TRUSTED NIGERIANS AND BELIEVE IN NIGERIA DESPITE THE BAD ONE AMONG US.
note: when i said #8500 i don't mean local inferior suit i mean high quality suit made with imported material, when price it in boutique, it goes like #12,000 to#16000

Wow, tailor. . . That was a great post about your success from NL. Thanks also, for going into detail. I have met a lot of great, inspiring people on Nairaland as well, some of which have become friends. However, I haven't transacted business with anyone here. . . yet :-) Kepp delivering high quality service, and I'm sure you with go farther. Also, it might be helpful for you to ask your customer to appraise you on this thread, so people have a little more confidence in you. All the best, my brother.

@tailor It is good that you did not keep quite about this. One of the things Nigerians can do to enhance our image is to post good testimonies like this online. Too many people who benefit from Nairaland and other websites doing business online keep quite. They only shout to the heavens when a con-artist who happens to be born in Nigeria swindles them.
Thanks for sharing this. And a big thumbs up for NAIRALAND!

Sir, Can you shed more light?
a. did you deliver first or you got paid first?
2. you mentioned how you deliver, but exactly how do you get paid?
3. Do you have a catalogue/some pics (online?) of your works or it's in the pipeline?
4. Who choses the material? And would you accept a customer's material?
Thanks. Appreciate your response and more grease to your elbows.
