Answer 1

Operating a stall on market day taught me valuable lessons about entrepreneurship, customer service, and organizational skills.

I contributed by selecting and showcasing products, setting up an attractive display, handling cash transactions, and providing excellent customer service.

What went well with the stall was the high quality of products, friendly interaction with customers, and effective marketing strategies such as discounts and promotions.

The stall encountered issues such as competition from other vendors, fluctuations in foot traffic, and logistical challenges in terms of setting up and packing up.

The stall succeeded because of a combination of factors - a unique product offering, competitive pricing, engaging customer service, and a well-organized setup. It failed when these factors were not effectively managed or when external factors such as weather conditions or market dynamics were unfavorable.

If I had to run a stall again, I would focus on improving marketing strategies, optimizing product selection based on customer feedback, streamlining operations to reduce costs, and investing in technology to improve efficiency. I would also work on building customer loyalty through loyalty programs and engaging social media campaigns.
