Chapter 139: Premonition Failure
Su Xinyi and Qi Fang went to ask old customers separately, while Cheng Zi and Pei Haoyuan were busy greeting customers. Cheng Cheng, who came to help, played with the children. He really liked children, and the children actually liked him very much. From this point of view, it can be seen that Cheng Cheng is very friendly.
As for Ma Mingmei and Mu Wensong who also came to help, they were both wearing very formal clothes, especially Mu Wensong's full high-end suit. He basically didn't have to walk around the crowd, but just stood at the door of the store, and parents would take the initiative to talk to him.
Mu Wensong fully utilized his business talent and spoke very internationally, so he heard him talking to several students and parents.
Mu Wensong said: "When I was studying in the United States, because I was at Harvard University, I liked to do some market research. I found that there are still big differences between Chinese and Western people in terms of snacks.
For example, Americans like to eat cupcakes, while French people like to eat macarons. Both of these desserts are sweeter and the burden will be heavier. If you eat too much, it will be easy to gain weight!
I think, of course, I personally think that it only represents my personal opinion. Student groups, especially our Chinese students, should eat less such snacks..."
He talked endlessly, while the parents next to him nodded frequently and expressed their agreement.
A parent said, "Your idea is similar to ours. We usually ask our children to eat less sweets, but we occasionally eat these two kinds of snacks you mentioned."
Mu Wensong pointed to the improved butterfly pastry in the tray and said, "This kind of snack is actually quite in line with the taste of our oriental people. It is a newly developed product in the store. The creativity comes from the butterfly pastry. After the improvement, you can try it!"
After hearing this, the parents felt a little surprised and said, "Is this kind of snack a butterfly crisp? It looks a bit like it on the outside, but we all ate it just now. I think the modified taste... may be a bit unsuitable for our taste!"
There was even a parent saying, "Is the modified butterfly crisp? I usually eat butterfly crisp, but I just ate one of these snacks. I think the taste is not as good as new biscuits!"
Not only did the parents who spoke to Mu Wensong think so, but even the old customers Su Xinyi and Qi Fang went to ask about this statement. It was similar. Almost no one associated the butterfly cream that had been improved in the store after more than two months with the traditional butterfly cream!
In fact, from the perspective of market research, the new product developed by Su Xinyi has been considered a failure, because even in terms of taste, old customers did not feel amazing, but simply thought it was just an ordinary dim sum.
Su Xinyi was a little unwilling to give up. Although she understood that starting a business could not always be smooth sailing, and encountering difficulties and setbacks is the norm, but because she had run a bakery so smoothly before, she took it for granted that the new products she developed would definitely meet the needs of customers!
Even if it cannot meet the needs of all customers, it should still meet half of it. However, it seems obviously not like this now. If the butterfly cream she thought was really promoted and sold, it would probably end in failure in a short time, and she would be hit even harder at that time.
Su Xinyi understood this, but she didn't want to give up yet. She was still asking someone to ask for it as much as possible and getting as many suggestions as possible.
Although the modified butterfly crisps were not successful, the sugar-free biscuits that serve as a foil were well received. Now at least 80% of old customers are talking about this kind of biscuit, believing that this is the store’s new main product.
