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

Oga David,

I am happy for you o.

The ball is now in your court to continue to deliver the right quality and you will see how far you will go.

But the day you try to cut corners, it will be the end.

Congrats. Watch out you will soon hear from me too.

@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!

can i have ur number pls

Thank you all , i pray that God of will connect others as he did to me through this
forum.

for those who are intrested in my product contact me with this NO 08050391436 or kingdavid7b@yahoo.com
83 tenant rd aba.

N/B i will tell the man to come and testify before this forum.

Yeh tailor, do you make ladies suits?

Am happy for you; it's good to see your business flourish in a country like Nigeria

Finally, You forgot to put your number.

What's your turnout.

You should try out some Internet Business.

Call me at 08037375336 and I'll teach you.

I hope say you don pay Owo ile to Seun, otherwise you shall be banned,

Oga, can i be your marketer here in Lagos, lol

keep up the good work brother,i'm happy for you.

Great thread!

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.

@ poster, congrats. My first business on nairaland was sucessful too.we had meeting on nairaland users club two yrs ago somewhere in lagos and was invited through e-mail and i went and was d only female dat came.

We had d meeting twice and it was partially sucessful just dat d meeting was meeting was later cos Seun Osewa didn't turn up but i still met and gave out my complimentary cards 2 people at d meeting eventhough, it was just twice. Without much ado, i received a business phone call from one of d nairaland user dat was at d meeting 2 submit my proposal, i went to d venue of dmeeting and submitted it,i did d inspection and brought d qoutation d next day. After three wks or so dat i came 4 dat nairaland club meeting, i was given d contract and it's abt d second yr now.
