Generate Hundreds concerns Million

Who would have thought Peni concerns of Indonesian cultural product shaped souvenir that seem rare in the market could reap hundreds of millions of dollars. Such income is proof that the product is a typical souvenir Indonesia has great potential. "His business was new, from the year 2009," said Peni Zulandari Suroto, Nalini Intercraft business owners to Kompas.com, last weekend.

He claimed the idea was originally purely because of concerns he and a business partner of Indonesia souvenirs that are rarely found on the market. After trying to observe some of the time, he realized that souvenirs that other countries have a lot of relatives are encountered. Even if there are typical souvenirs Indonesia, quality is not as good as typical souvenirs of other countries. "We try to find, not bener does not exist (rare). It turns out after looking (really rare). Finally dared to venture," he said.

Moreover, he said, Indonesia culture manifold. But he himself is rather difficult because it is not armed with skills as a painter or photographer. With his expertise, the painter can produce paintings and photography can produce good photographs. He got the idea to make souvenirs such as in general, which, among other things, the disc-shaped. There are at least 10 types of forms of souvenirs he produces today. Form of plates and a refrigerator magnet is the most widely sold. "We can not forget the Indonesian identity," said Peni.

Identity is the most important products. So, in any product label name "Indonesia" and a little description of the culture shown in, for example, souvenir plate shape. Later, he said, he will try to give testimony in his souvenir products. "The plates have a little story descriptions. This year in all product descriptions will be," he said.

For example, if there is a refrigerator magnet in the form of a custom shirt, then he will give a description of the traditional dresses from where it came from, and stressed that it was just one cultural product of the tens or hundreds of cultural products of a region.

Because it has no historical or cultural background, Peni and his somewhat difficult to lift a culture that will be used as a souvenir. That way, he should be diligent in accessing the internet from various sources and summarize.

"The second difficulty is the resource of raw materials, because of possible formats (the gift) is not many people make," he said. But, he managed to cope with at least seven associates include the making of its products, such as puppet craftsman who makes the motive for their products. In other words, he and his colleagues simply act as coordinator.

Another difficulty is the distribution or find a place that can be deposited products. The place should also be able to reach both the local and foreign tourists. He also had found a great place to attract consumers, but stifling in terms of results.

This year, gift her business into the market will attempt to Yogyakarta and Bali. Both provinces are required to be entered as it is still a point of tourism in Indonesia. Its products will try to be marketed in a number of places such as airports and local souvenir shops.

Peni was interesting attempt to make it as Bank Mandiri trained partners. Nalini Intercraft have participated in the Young Entrepreneur Independent since 2010. As a regional finalist Jakarta, Nalini was included in the various seminars and expos by state-owned bank is up to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The main production of souvenirs with shaped plates per month could reach 2,000 pieces, and a refrigerator magnet that reached 2,500, so he can reap a turnover of up to Rp 300 million. Initial capital, Peni and his colleagues have dug his own pocket from the savings and loans from relatives up to Rp 75 million. He also borrowed from the bank for further capital along with the development effort. "I think (the key in the process) resources are not (only) his skills," said Peni.

UKM usually Forget the Customer Older

CEO BuzzCo, Sumardy, say, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) often forget to retain old customers as busy in the search for new customers. Whereas the old customers can create a story-mouth for a product of SMEs.



"Many companies are busy looking for new customers, but forget to maintain a loyal customer. In fact the highest revenue from loyal customers. This is one of the problems of SMEs," said Sumardy in the seminar "Entrepreneurial Party in Upper Hand 2012" in Jakarta, Sunday (29/1 / 2012).



In addition, he explained, the cost for new customers to reap even more expensive than maintaining old customers. One-fifth the cost could be cheaper. This is a consideration for SMEs to keep customers loyal. "If consumers have purchased, must be maintained because it can create word of mouth (oral stories) everywhere," added Sumardy.



He believes that word of mouth marketing is a relatively inexpensive way of marketing, even the only option for SMEs that limited advertising funds. The trick is to create an interesting story SME-related products.



He took the example, there is fried rice sellers who market their products in a way to advertise that pregnant women can eat fried rice for free. "Finally, people talking, 'Oh, free pregnant women (eating fried rice seller's),'" he said.



Employers can tell the origin of the product, who is the author, and other interesting stories. After the story was created, the employer can test it to his own family. This is to see whether family members are willing to tell the product to the neighbors. "Whatever is done, create a compelling story to tell," added Sumardy.

Encourage Personal Experience Yani Create Modern Baby Sling

The mother of three children, Yani Andriani, had trouble in taking care of her three children, where one of her children as young as toddlers are still need of exclusive breastfeeding. With sling products on the market for this, Yani was less flexible to move. "The idea of ​​a personal experience of fitting (a) the third son hassles with the children. Somewhat bothered committee of three children. Simultaneously inspired by how exclusive breastfeeding are met," said Yani to Kompas.com, in Jakarta, some time ago.

Together with some friends, Yani was modifying some of the sling. Of the carrier-carrier came the idea to create an elastic sling can keep baby's body shape. Not only that, he was made an ergonomic sling. Thus, this carrier can have eight positions. "No pegel, comfortable, can remain active outside (the house)," he said about this modern sling. This is because the sling is made of stretchy cotton and spandex that is suitable for premature babies to toddlers.

In making this sling, he was helped by his knowledge while attending the University of Bandung Raya majoring in textile chemistry. "So take the selection of materials of science in college," he who started the business from 2009.

To obtain any materials he had no trouble. Because it already had a connection that his college friends. He mentioned, there are friends who worked in a textile mill that he had no difficulty with the material. As an initial production of capital, he issued a USD 12 million from the last work in the previous work.

The results of the first production 15-sling. Now can be up to 150 pieces. This is the number of online orders. This online order was not half-hearted that can be up to Papua. "BEP (directly on) the first month," said Yani turnover immediately after one month of production.

Wares that she values ​​of Rp 155 000 per piece. These products are not only marketed online, there are deposited into a baby shop and marketing themselves to their peers. In fact, he says, has begun to have an agent who intends to make the reseller (resale) online. The result has now spread its products in stores in Jakarta, Malang, Yogyakarta, and Palangkaraya. But, he said, the distributor for the eastern region of Indonesia does not exist.

Because of its nature it is still a cottage industry production capacity was still 350 pieces per month. That the number of orders for both offline and online. But mostly to be sold in stores (offline). "So much for a month. Not so much," said Yani.

He was optimistic that the award-winning business in the event Self Young Entrepreneur 2011 for graduate alumni groups and this will continue to grow. In fact, he expects to produce about 1,000 pieces of arms for this year. Not merely for profit only.

But Yani also want to socialize the program to exclusive breastfeeding for the infant. Because with this product, he said, the mother can provide breast milk for up to 2 years. "What about the comfort and security of exclusively breastfed infants with the program (this can be given to the carrier)," he said. "We are not here does not take a huge profit. Because it depends on the price of cotton prices. We use local cotton," he concluded that employees now have as many as eight people.
