Chapter 347 Demand exceeds supply
"This lady has a really good eye. This was developed and manufactured by our own shop and cannot be bought anywhere else." Li Xiaoxiao saw a customer coming in and greeted her with a smile.
"Oh, you made it yourselves, what's the effect?" the lady asked curiously.
"This is the treasure of our store. It's called concealer. As the name suggests, it can cover up tiny blemishes on the face. It also has a very good whitening effect and moisturizing function." Li Xiaoxiao introduced the functions of the concealer to her in detail and praised it beautifully.
"Is it really as good as you said?" The girl was obviously moved, but still asked in confusion.
"Miss, I can demonstrate it to you personally. You will know the effect once you see it." Li Xiaoxiao immediately called a young girl who was helping in the store.
Hearing the noise here, many people gathered around. Li Xiaoxiao took out the small cotton cloth she had prepared in advance. This was the finest cloth she could find. There were quite a few powder puffs in the space, but it was a pity that they could not be taken out and used.
Opening the bottle of concealer, Li Xiaoxiao gently applied a little bit with a fine cotton cloth, and under the gaze of everyone, she put a few dots on the little girl's left cheek.
Then spread it evenly, and soon there was a big difference between the left and right sides of the girl's face.
The left side of her face was noticeably whiter than before, and even the pores were invisible. It looked very natural, not like she had used any makeup at all.
The ladies watching the scene had never seen such a scene before and they all exclaimed in amazement. The more they watched, the more incredible it seemed to them.
They usually use a lot of whitening products, but those products are too white, and even a very small amount can be seen.
But this one is different, it is very close to the color of the skin and can only be seen at a close distance.
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "I want three bottles of concealer."
Then someone rushed to shout: "I want five bottles, one bottle for each of my sisters."
"I also want."
"I also want."
After Li Xiaoxiao's demonstration, all the young ladies were excited and rushed to buy.
Li Xiaoxiao had anticipated this scenario before. A new and effective whitening product would definitely be sought after by many young ladies.
Although she had prepared a lot in advance, she did not intend to sell so much at one time, but wanted to create a hunger marketing.
The so-called hunger marketing is to limit the supply of a certain number of bottles every day. On the one hand, it can let people know that the production process of this product is complicated, and on the other hand, it can be sold at a high price.
Another point is that it can arouse people's desire to buy. Others have it, but I don't, so I must buy it too. Isn't this a disguised way to increase the customer's return rate?
When she buys, she can't just buy this one kind. She will gradually take out the cosmetics in the space and sell them. Just thinking about it makes her heart burst with happiness.
Perhaps in the near future, she will be able to join the ranks of wealthy women.
"Thank you for your recognition of our concealer. The raw materials of our concealer are hard to come by and expensive, so we don't have much of it at the moment. If anyone wants to buy it, they can line up here. To be fair, each person can only buy one bottle at a time."
Li Xiaoxiao looked at everyone's reactions with satisfaction, her eyes curved with a smile.
"What? You can only buy one bottle at a time. I want to buy a few more bottles to give to my sisters at home." A girl said in annoyance.
"Yes, that small bottle won't take long, how can one bottle be enough?" another girl agreed.
"Why don't you sell two bottles at a time? Or you can offer a higher price and we can accept it." Everyone was talking at once. Who wouldn't want to buy more of such a useful thing?
"I'm so sorry, everyone. Our store has limited stock. We only have 20 bottles. If I sell two bottles, the people queuing behind me won't be able to buy any. How about you discuss it? If you can't get any, come back tomorrow." Li Xiaoxiao said implicitly. She didn't reject them directly, but asked them to discuss it themselves.
The ladies looked at each other. There were quite a few people in the store at the moment. If each person had two bottles, they would definitely not be able to share them.
Thinking of what Li Xiaoxiao had said about queuing to buy, no one bothered about it anymore. Everyone rushed to the place Li Xiaoxiao mentioned to queue up, and at the same time called their maids.
It is said that each person is limited to buying one bottle, but isn’t a maid also a human being? As long as she queues up, she can also buy it.
Those who were closer to Li Xiaoxiao's queue lined up at the front, while those who were farther away stood at the back.
Soon a long line was formed. Li Xiaoxiao looked around and saw that the line was very neat and many people were standing outside the door.
It seems that these twenty bottles are obviously not enough, but it doesn’t matter. If you can’t buy them today, register them first and sell them to them when they come tomorrow.
After lining up, Li Xiaoxiao sat at the desk and began to register the ladies who came to buy.
Li Xiaoxiao's price for concealer was not low, thirty taels of silver per bottle. They didn't know the price at the beginning.
Now, after hearing Li Xiaoxiao say that one bottle cost thirty taels, everyone was surprised. They only received a few dozen taels of monthly silver, and thirty taels was indeed too expensive for them.
But I really like concealer, and I don't have that much money on hand. After thinking it over again and again, I decided to reluctantly let the maid leave the team and buy only one bottle instead of two.
The originally long queue suddenly became much shorter. Li Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry. It was only the first day that the concealer was on sale. She was confident that by tomorrow, there would be more people coming to buy the concealer.
Even though there were a few fewer people in the line, those who still didn't buy concealer in the end were put on record by Li Xiaoxiao. If they still wanted it tomorrow, they could come back to buy it without waiting in line again.
Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao had earned six hundred taels of silver in such a short time, Zhou Lingfei's eyes widened in shock. Li Xiaoxiao was simply too amazing.
This one item alone sold for six hundred taels, and she sold other things as well. That's how much silver she would earn in a day. And seeing how enthusiastic everyone is about concealer, I'm sure there will be many people coming to buy it tomorrow.
Then she realized belatedly that she hadn't bought it yet: "Miss, I want a bottle of concealer too."
"You can't miss it. I'm saving it for you. I'll give you two bottles." Li Xiaoxiao was clattering on the abacus in his hands without even raising his head.
"Well, well, my little lady is still the best. When I'm good at using it, I'll go out and promote it for you." Zhou Lingfei smiled contentedly. Others only had one bottle, but she had two.
Si Chengxu and Gu Feiyan had already gone to the lounge in the back to drink tea. It seemed that they both knew what the other was thinking and disliked each other.
Although they were drinking tea at the same table, no one said a word. Li Xiaoxiao saw this scene when she came in.
