RM 1.00 to buy a nice new cloth for your closet - Part 1
fashion, what's happening, what's new | 622 views Add PilipalaFinally i got the answer from Gary d…. from my previous post… lots of people very curious about RM1 for 1 piece of nice cloth… hmm… will tell you all more about it later….
now let’s see what Gary reply… hmm
How did you come out of an idea to start with PotatoCream.com?
I have a commercial partner, Fiona. She is very active with online shopping. Well, as she always said, “i love shopping ma. Lazy people shop online lu.” Out of point, opps. By the way, she suggested we sell clothes online de. I told her that i am also interested and i can contribute my intellectual properties (web development la). Without thinking further, we started a website after 2 weeks.
While developing the website, it takes us a very long time to brainstorm for a domain name that we both like. Fiona suggested Potato as she really loves potatoes (funny girl). But Potato-Something-something, or something-something-potato are all taken, until.. i thought of Cream. PotatoCream.com. Kewl!! So, that’s it. Potato Cream. Hahaha.. A proud brand name is born.
At first, the website is only a normal website with photos and detail of each stocks (a few stocks only). Then, our business started growing day after day. We did not even do any marketing to the website until the 2nd week. Then, it takes off from there and started growing rapidly. As more customers come to our website, we develop more features one by one - making the site more usable - Eg, order form la, newsletter la, categories la, currency la, etc. Haha..
Fiona intercepted : Love online shopping ma, dunno la.. hahaha..
what AprilCherrie think:
war.. like that also can -_-” like so easy can start up a new e-commerce site.. phew… i wan start one also can?
As what I know previously you was managing 7Creation.com¡K how was it right not? Is it doing well?
Yes, 7Creation.com was previously developed and managed by myself. What about now? It is still managed by myself ar.. 7Creation is my baby, and it will always be. I am still taking care of it. 
It is growing each day without even much maintenance provided to it. I really feel sorry for 7Creation, as i have done only very little enhancement over this one year. I hope i can devote more time for it
I planned to organize something for 7Creation next year and making it an annual event for international participants. Frankly, i have already found a sponsor and an experienced designer to be our panel of judge of our following competition. Stay tuned, i will spam you with our news. Hahaha.. Anyway, be proud of 7Creation - it is the first online graphic design international competition hosted by Malaysian from Labuan island ler.
Overall, i met many friends. Good ones too. Cherrie, you might have already forgotten, we actually met at 7Creation.com. You contacted me and asked me a few questions probably looking for ideas for your blogs. The friendship started from then. LOL. (Actually i still didnt know why you contacted me last time - probably for advertisement at your side, haha..)
What AprilCherrie Think:
war… i tot you are the one who added me in MSN and ask me go 7Creation and check it out ler -_-” now you twist it arr.. like that also can -_-” hahaha… find you for advertisement? hahaha no lar….
Will it be very hard for you to maintain two websites at the same times?
Yes, very hard. Honestly, i have lost my concentration over 7Creation because of PotatoCream.com. And focus has been diverted away. I believe there is a season and time for everything. I will divert my focus back to 7Creation later on. It all depends on a factor called time.
Maintaining a website is not easy, especially if you have plans for its healthy growth. AprilCherrie knows this very well too. Haha.. We sometimes chatted about our websites a bit. Sincerely, she is doing very well. Before that, i have a friend who is even a fan of AprilCherrie.com. Haha.. Quite a coincidence. Pretty cool huh (i didnt tell Cherrie about this yet)
Cherrie : Huh? What? You should tell me earlier. You.. You.. You. (Made up imagination by Gary)
What AprilCherrie Think:
OMG… a fan of AprilCherrie.com… i know you for so long didn’t know about this.. you can keep secret quite well huh…
omg… i abit regret now… ask him so many questions… and he really take his time to reply me… with whole lots of content.. omg… i’m so not use to it… why? cause… i’m not text text people… so… let me cut this short… will post up the rest of the answer in the next post…
let’s update my shopping experience in PotatoCream.com… actually i been there these few days.. but i still yet to get any of the cloths yet… why? cause… most of the one i like Out of Stock, Out of Size.. so now what i’m waiting for is….. the NEW Stock… phew.. hopefully they will have new stock that suit me ^^ wink

Dont think for too long if you wanted to start something. The longer you think, the harder it seems to become - Gary Wong. Cheh
Cherrie, if you wanna start, just start lu..
Opps, i looked for you first? I could not remember also. Hehe.. (Tot you said you couldnt remember de?)
Well, ehmm.. I am pretty good with keeping secret. lol.
Sorry to let you wait for so long. Ya, we will be updating for new fashions, as soon as we can too. But probably not so soon. Didnt expect that until this Christmas - Just realised that Christmas season is normally quite hard to push for new stocks and delivery. So, will have to wait for a while lo
