The simple stuff…that make you go nuts
Posted by: Qaiss in Kuwait, up and about, StartupsWhen developing a business many small stuff start arising, once going around Shuwaikh for a couple of days looking for a bag manufacturer i figured out a  problem in Kuwait that everything is so scattered and many of these business do not advertise in Kuwait to reach and tell you that they are there. Offcourse this monopoly of the large advertising media companies in Kuwait kill small business and make larger ones flourish. The only media methods to market in this country is TV, street bill boards and radio and these are very expense and have a huge waiting list too. So some in Kuwait use this to there advantage and keep such places a secret and when you ask them if they know a place that manufactures cheap plastic bags, he sez give it to me and i’ll get the job done. Offcourse due to our miss information we get charged higher and still do not know the original place that manufactures the product. So back to the post, when i started gift express i needed certain bags to be produced and with the logo too, so went all over Shuwaikh and other printing shop there and they said they would take the order, but the place seemed like it outsoureced the job to some one else. So after searching harder to my surprise found the mandoubs number of NAPCO, A SAUDI BASED company sending there sales people to Kuwait! and there is another called PAK there telephone number is 4711350 but i lost the Napco sales person number sorry, but i have no problems taking your order:P j/k testing my rip off theory…so my advice is always be patient and search harder, ask around and soon you will reach the source. Starting a business requires patience like waiting for your pizza delivery guy to get your order!:pÂ

hi qaissoon:)
unfortunatly its true that many people rip off other people, but they may sometimes know it and dont mind becuase they would rather send the mandoob(for example) and he does these things. Honestly. i prefare to do the things on my on and i dont mind getting lost once in a while to find a specific place becuase you end up finding some shop that might be useful later on. My point is that our generation is getting more and more lazier by the minute and people are becoming dependent on others.
