I’ve noticed how quiet some malls and retail outlets have become. With footfall going down, it makes me wonder. How can businesses keep their sales and profits up? I think it’s all about getting creative lah. Maybe more in-store experiences like workshops, live demos, or pop-ups that draw people in. Or even collabs with influencers to create hype. I’ve seen some places use AR tech for cool “try-before-you-buy” features too. Retail has to go beyond just selling; it’s about creating experiences.

In retail selling clothes for a while now. I wasn't happy cause the pay isn’t great. I know some retail jobs pay better, but I’m not sure which ones. Is it better to sell luxury items like perfume, watches, or designer brands? Do commissions make a big difference, or is it mostly the hourly rate? I want to stay in retail but earn more. Any advice on which stores or industries pay the best?

Three years in retail, and I swear, nothing builds patience like dealing with customers who treat you like their personal punching bag. One minute they’re friendly, next minute they’re shouting over a discount that expired last week. And somehow, the customer is always right. 😮💨 My friend switched to office work and keeps telling me to do the same, but I actually enjoy retail—just hate the way we get treated. Stay or go?

excited to explore job opportunities in Singapore, I’m flexible with my schedule, as long as I get at least one day off per week. More importantly, I want a long-term career where I can grow and contribute. I believe in staying positive, being a team player, and always improving myself! If you have any tips, experiences, or job recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks in advance, and wishing success to everyone here!

Tired of these unpredictable schedules, and the pay i received isn’t growing the way I want. Perhaps i should start lurking around office job for better salary and career growth, just my issue here how can i align the job with my current experience. What skills can I highlight to stand out in front of interviewers,

Starting this thread for the LOLs... feel free to add on! 😂 😂😂
As a retail personnel, these are the things i wish people know before buying:
1) I don’t control the prices
2) No, I can’t give you a bigger discount just because you asked; and
3) Yes, we really close by 10PM!

Sorry for asking weird question. But what are the best optimal hours to open a retail boutique store in Singapore? Do people shop in the morning? Seems like most stores open 10am to 10pm, but are there hours where the crowds are dead? Also is opening every day of the week a good strategy? What is the best day to have an off day to rest? Just doing some study here
