Description of Blog Shop Owners

One evening, three good friends (Suet Yun, Ying Yoong & E-Chuin) were hit by a wave of aspiration… To start an online boutique selling clothes catering to young working adults as we ourselves who had just started to work understand the dilemma: “How to be fashionable with the rising cost of shopping?” Yes, this is such an ugly truth! Therefore, Oops Treat was born to a main objective: To provide fashionable working clothes and yet affordable to the shopaholics just like us.

And as we move on, we realize that working adults needed to attend numerous functions. From annual dinners to clubbing to casual drinking with colleagues/friends (what we all usually refer it to: socializing!!). Therefore, we decided to provide casual outings clothes, evening wears and sexy attires at the lowest price and we know that our gals will totally love the deals that we offer.

Our online boutique is named Oops Treat. Notice the similarity between Oops Treat and Britney’s song “Oops! I Did It Again”? The three of us are huge fans of Britney since back then when we were schooling.. And with all the treats that we are offering to all the gals out there.. Hence, TA-DA!! Oops Treat!!

YY: Our young and bubbly yet capable Chief Finance Officer who does the accounting and banking matters loves to talk and eat and still manages to work extra hours and be top in her studies while keeping up with the world of fashion.

EC: Our Chief Fashion Officer who loves nothing except to shop, shop, shop and shop but still manages to keep up with her EXTRA workload and EXTRA working hours and still stay as cheerful, energetic and pretty as always.

SY: Our full time model who has the flair to brings out the best in each fabulous piece of clothing she puts on. She is also our part time PR Officer and Stock Management Personnel, wonder how she juggles so many roles at once and yet stay so fit? Ask her!

Interview

SpreeCrunch is honored to interview E-Chuin, Suet Yun and Ying Yoong, owners of Oops Treat. They are considered freshmen in this online business industry but they have made a name for themselves despite being new. They managed to juggle between their day jobs and this online business which is part of their lives now. E-Chuin is currently working as an auditor, Suet Yun is a tax consultant and Ying Yoong is a banker.

1. SpreeCrunch: Is this your first time starting this blog shop?

Oops Treat: Yeap, this is our first blog shop.

2. SpreeCrunch: How long have you been in this industry?

Oops Treat: 3 months from May. We’re quite new in that sense. But we’ve spent quite some time researching before we start off.

3. SpreeCrunch: What was the reason for you to start this blog shop?

Oops Treat: We are actually regular online shoppers ourselves and we came to realize that prices of clothing can be quite expensive. Thereafter, we decided to indulge in this interest of ours to share our choice of fashion with gals out there and also we also surveyed on the pricing and make sure our prices are affordable. Our current objective is to cater not only to young working adults, but also students.

4. SpreeCrunch: Where do you seek for customers?

Oops Treat: We normally send updates to blog shop reviewers, we also create a group in Facebook to gain access to our extended network, and we occasionally post our items in other forums to redirect them to our blog shop.

5. SpreeCrunch: What did you benefit from this blog shop besides money?

Oops Treat: Like we mentioned earlier, it is our interest to source for clothing at affordable prices. In doing this, we also strengtened the bond between the 3 of us. Also, we learn a great deal from running this blogshop, from enchancing our knowledge in fashion to managing our funds and accounts. Moreover, we learned to be business minded in pursuing our interest in this blog shop. Most importantly, we gained satisfaction from seeing the pieces that we personally hand-picked are selected as our customers’ choice of clothing.

6. SpreeCrunch: What makes your online business stands out from the rest?

Oops Treat: We would think that our pricing stands out from the rest of the blog shops. Also, most of the items that we hand-picked are versatile for both formal and casual occasions. We also strive to respond to customers within the shortest time possible and to mail out the items to customer immediately the day after payment is confirmed as we know customers are always anticipating to receive their newly bought items. We are actually offering the Early Bird rewards whereby shopoholics are given 10% discount on the purchases they made within the first 3 days of our newly posted items!! So far, we have not seen any blog shops offering that now.

7. SpreeCrunch: Do you have any future plans for your business?

Oops Treat: We are looking to expand our clientele network in Malaysia and hopefully overseas. We foresee a long term commitment and we hope to build a strong base of network to pull us through.

8. SpreeCrunch: What do you have to sacrifice for this?

Oops Treat: We would need to put in more personal time in order to achieve this and we need to manage between our day job and online blog shop, but we do enjoy all the effort and time spent, especially when there is response from our customers!

9. SpreeCrunch: Did you experience any difficulties?

Oops Treat: It’s the time management bit and also to increase our online traffic.

10. SpreeCrunch: What do you need for your online business now?

Oops Treat: We need to expand our collection and to source for a wider range of clothes to cater to different shoppers.

11. SpreeCrunch: Are you satisfied with your current business situation?

Oops Treat: We are still in the initial stage and we aim to achieve better sales and a higher traffic to our blog shop. We are satisfied with how things are advancing at the moment. But nevertheless, we would take more initiative to increase sales and improve our collection.
