Ennyhorlar:This guy here made some valid points. If your business environment is not around the highbrow area of the city like Lekki in Lagos, GRA in Ikeja, etc, people will be scared to walk in or to patronize you in the fear that your charges will be high. That is why in business you don't rush expansion, grow at your pace, grow at your own level and speed, don't try to grow too fast to be like some big brands you do see or hear about, grow gradually because some growth can kill a business or company. Average Nigerians have this skewed mentality that the bigger a company is, the higher their charges and they are somehow right cos the bigger an organization or business grows, the more expenses they incur in paying more number of staff, paying big office space, paying several utility bills, caring for the exorbitant expenses of the now big CEO, etc. Maybe you need to slow down the expansion and go back to drawing board. Most ladies who want to learn fashion designing prefer to go to a young fashion designer who does lots of work in a small space instead of enrolling in a fashion school, so consider getting a small road side shop where u can be working from with some fine chicks to attract other ladies. Ladies love bandwagon; they love going where plenty other ladies are going, especially where they see other fine ladies going 6 Likes |

That your first place is ur favourite though you said it was small and you decide to expand but some lanlords can go any length while building so one needs to be more careful and prayerful before letting an accommodation or business premisses, pray over the place if you haven't the place may be the cause of dwindling in ue patronage, it's well 1 Like |

netflicks:Another reality many Nigerians are yet to realize including those celebrating the victory of failure called Buhari and APC! Many Nigerians have relocated since 2015, the number may run into millions of Nigerians that ran away from Nigeria due to Buhari induced hardship from bad leadership and stupid economy policies. Only few Nigerians have enough money to spend on things. The rest spend on basic needs like food, drug, housing and transport while managing and neglecting the rest of their needs like clothing, etc which has led to low patronage for businesses in Nigeria. So many Nigerians are jobless, no hope, can't even afford to eat well talk more of patronizing business owners. Those working are earning peanut that cannot even take care of their basic needs. If things continue this way for Nigeria, it won't be funny in the next 10 years cos there will be escalated increase in all manner of crime all over Nigeria. Insecurity will worsen 3 Likes 1 Share |

In April, 2019, 28 Lawyers were issued their letters of employment having scaled the hurdles of various interviews stages conducted by Oyo State Ministry of Justice, their joy knew no bound. Their joy was however curtailed when the new governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde informed them that his administration cannot inherit the past administration's employees even though they were employed under the normal employment procedure and neither of them owns any allegiance to the past governor. The governor informed them that his administration will conduct new recruitment and if they are interested they should apply. All appeals for the governor to retract his stands fell on deaf ears and the further appeal to him to pay them their 5 months outstanding salaries seems was equally overlooked by the governor. Government is expected to be continual, but it is quite unfortunate that these innocent lawyers will have to bear the burnt of power play to which they know nothing about. It is a shame that the governor to whom we all hold in high esteem will chose to play politics with a sensitive matter that evolves around lives and survival of these innocent employees. |

Take your mind off anything jazz and focus on your self. You need to take stock of the good times and bad times and figure out the things that changed. You need to know why sales dropped before you can find solution. Did your previous location offer any advantage that's lacking in the new one? Did you increase your billing of recent? I do a freelance as a side hustle and sometime in 2018 my online presence was changed from a u.s.a location to Nigeria and sales dropped drastically. I knew why and I just got back to u.s.a with another account and made even bigger money. Your new location may affect your sales, your price listing may affect your sales and also your reviews from ur quality. Look into ur source of clients and see how u can modify it. Be willing to diversify, partner with schools for uniforms, be willing to cut down billings so you can stay in the competition. Pray. I wish you the best 5 Likes 3 Shares |

netflicks: This is even putting it mildly, can you see what the mental states of Nigerian youths are turning to with majority of the comments on this thread? They are now turning to inanimate objects (a house) to blame for a business collapse. |

fourhayz: An average African with their religious sentiments...what has prayers got to do with clients not patronizing a business? There are remote causes and immediate causes why there is a drop in business, finding out the why and applying a recovery strategy is what you need. |

This is to show that most Nigerians hardly think, they are bond to fallacies. OP... The economy is down. People don't buy unnecessary things like before. People now manage what they have.

Are you split testing your online ads? Are you taking cognizance of algorithm changes on Google (or on the platform you're advertising on)? Are you accessing data on your ad reach and engagement? Do you use SEO at all? Doing business online is very tough and dynamic. You can't set and forget things in the same way you would if you have a strategically located shop at a busy market junction. Two rules I abide by - don't change what works, and always keep an eye on movements/trends on the online space you're operating in. Reevaluate your online marketing strategy. That's where the problem likely is. The fact that it manifested about the same period you moved to another shop could be an unfortunate coincidence. Forget all this superstitious nonsense. 1 Like |

As such we had no fear that it will be business as usual since we do not operate with passers by patronising Us. that's one of your biggest problems. find money to move out from that place to a open place. and send me a message on Whatsapp so I can make adverts for you on my business page for free for one week. 09037012211. |
