Introducing Barang-barang Bonda!

My latest project - an online 'store' where I can sell my latest discoveries in the ladies' markets in Saudi and also anything else I might be able to make in my own house.
Please do visit Barang-barang Bonda.

Note to non-bahasa malaysia readers:
Barang-barang means "things"
Bonda means "mother" , which, as you may know, is what my kids call me.

Wish me luck :)
Comments and suggestions are most most welcomed!

    this time teringin nak tinggal jejak..

    good job..beri inspirasi to me..

    and i love jubah hitam and abaya..will be waiting for more choices of abaya yang bakal berkenan di hati and affordable..dah tengok yang dijual di sini..ada one kedai di medan idaman gombak..cantik2, tapi yang cantik itulah yang tak afford nak beli...

    I left a comment but its gone.
    Anyway, embed an order form (plenty in javascript or make one in pdf) so that it is easier for customers to order.
    Big hugs.

    salam,
    I think your pricing is a bit on the expensive side...kalau boleh jual yang reasonably priced/affordable, it will garner more attention...what say you?

  9. Friends,
    thanx for the well wishes :)

    Papa,
    At the moment the order form is too short .. perhaps later when I need to ask for more information from the customers, I'll try to make a nicer form that wont load/slow down the browsers :)

    Anon,
    I have two types of pricing - Budget (under RM200) and Luxury (above RM200). The luxury items are usually unique and one-off.. You are guaranteed a nice and exclusive abaya.
    The prices are market price in Saudi Arabia, I only make a tiny profit from getting a little discount from the supplier.
    Perhaps later on when I get more orders, and get to buy more abayas frm the suppliers, I can get bigger discounts and this cost reduction will be passed on to my customers :)
    hey,I should put this in my FAQ ! :)
    Thanx for asking :)
