Opportunities at Lake Chivero?

no thumb

[soliloquy id=”75″]

 

Hararians just love Lake Chivero, have you ever seen the number of people flocking the lake resort during weekend?

Ok this lake seems to be under utilised.How many hotels?Lake Hunyani and what else?The numbers of folks visiting this place is going up every day.This creates an opportunity for serious investors…Build Amusement Parks…Build Top Notch Hotels..Build Top Notch Beach Hotels…Build Unique beach lodges..Build Conference Centers..Build Caravan Parks..Build Bush Lodges (Like those in Hwange/Dete).

Hey,Hararians are now mobile and they want fun..they want places where they can go with their families and cool off!!We would like to forget our problems,we want decent private places …we would like massage parlours!!! For a change how about sleeping in a Caravan with my fam?Having braai on a fridae with friends tichiraura hedu?

Akomana nhamo dzakatiwandira patown..ndoda hangu ko kungofamba chill ,buy a beer or two and come back to town?Some time back i used to take my fam to this place which was owned by ZimSun…hameno zvakazoitika panzvimbo yacho pool yava ye green?

Ok even for real estate..did u know kune ma islands?Who owns these islands?Can we invite rich folks to invest on these islands and improve the Economy of Harare?

Akomana,tirikuzhamba nhamo pataundi isu tiine ma resources?I urge you all to visit Lake Chivero and explore business opportunities there…I know its not feasible for the entire forum to visit this place …but just think about business opportunities at the lake near you. My own estimate is that tine more than $100m investment opportunities at the Lake in terms of potential..

Same applies to my city(Bulawayo) in Mutare do look at opportunities offered by lakes near you..if u stay near a sea beach then tell us about opportunities that you see there.

So our tough question of the evening remains :WHO OWNS LAND AT LAKE CHIVERO?HOW CAN YOU BENEFIT?[adsense_inserter id=”%postid%”]

Greetings Business People how are you doing forumites? Its 5 days into 2016 what are your predictions when it comes to business?

Ok this evening I bring you some interesting stuff especially for resident Zimbos, ava varimuno hedu muZimbabwe—aaah kwapisa. Ukuwo mvura hameno hameno, I have been calculating especially for Harare -so far kuti tawana moore thanrains of a normal rainfall season? I really doubt Elnino yanetsa iyi.[soliloquy id=”75″]

Ok the great news that I have is that some time back before the formation of this group a friend approached me zvikanzi Mdala I got a relative of mine arikudawo basa mubatsire. Hino wa Mdala ndikati zvomene handina chandingamubatsire nacho but ngaambounze cv yake tiwone.

Cv ichiuya wanikwe mwana uyu is one of the most intelligent young Zimbos I have ever met. Her name is Nyasha and I will feature her story later on during the year. Although I have never met her despite staying in the same neighbourhood ( Yeah wa Mdala haafaririre to meet folks lol)

So this lady andipa cv yake I got in touch with a few friends of mine in Uk, got an email from a UK based training institute called Asranti which you can find on http://astranti.com/
They were looking for module writers-vanhu vanoyora ma business modules for various business subjects.

So I checked with Nyasha–ndokubva amboti ayewa handisati ndambozviita, ndokubva ndanyengerera kusvika abvuma.

Bottom line is that the young lady accepted to write business modules for Asranti…kana uri a CIMA member or student you should know about it.

So the young lady got a part time job, got training and the good news is that ndakanzwa kuti akatenga mota yake nemari yekunyora ma modules.

So from the comfort of her home in Harare , the lady started earning hundreds of pounds!!! All she needed was a computer and internet connection and produce a lot of Accounting modules which were sold to a lot of Accounting students in UK and worldwide.

Vamwe vari busy kumhanya mhanya,kutsvaga capital,kukwereta vamwe venenge vakatyora pamba vachiita mari and you wonder how? Haana chikwambo here?lol Haasi tsotsi?

Bottom line dear reader is that the world is changing fast. Kune mimwe mikana yandingati mikana yemumhepo kkk As a forum we will try our level best this year to talk about areas such as :
1) Virtual work-virtual assistants etc
2) Forex trading
3) Call centres.

Mikana yakati kuti but chanetsa kusaziva. Tese tiri kuramba takatarisa same direction-kana usina capital wobva wangoti hapana zvekuita.

Warning>

Be careful of online fraudsters. Those that say PAY US this amount kuti uwane ma opportunities. Wa Mdala is not talking about these schemes or aya ma pyramid schemes azara muZimbabwe anonzi unza mari as contribution wodeedza vamwe, yako mari yozita etc. We will help members by covering our topics on a forum where folks can quickly point out risk areas.

Wishing you all a Blessed 2016.

Of Zimbos and Marketing : Part One

no thumb

Have you received pamphlets lately? They are everywhere isn’t it? Especially in urban areas..we seem to have a pamphlets craze going on sandizvo here?.At robots,at churches,at street corners…almost everywhere.

Good stuff from SMEs,they are realizing the importance of marketing,the importance of raising awareness of their products and services.

Now Comrades and Friends allow me to critically analyse these pamphlets.The objective is that at the end of the day we can all do better.Hanzi kusaziva kwakafanana nekufa.Kune vamwe vanhu vari kufara chose vachiti vagona basa when they develop and distribute these pamphlets.

Let me analyse this pamphlet from a Car Parts Seller that I received recently. The company is selling car parts and they indicated where they are located as well as car parts prices.

Iyi ndiyo mibvunzo going through my mind as I analyse this Pamphlet

1.Saka anoti handizive kunotengeswa ma car parts?
2. Anofunga kuti handizive kune Kaguvi street?
3. Saka arikuda kuti ndisiye kwandinotenga ma car parts ndichiuya kwaari?
4. Chii chaanondipa ndikauya kuzotenga kwaari?Any specials ?
5. Saka ma price aka aya how do they compare nekwandinositenga?

Hama dzinodiwa iyo mivhunzo yandavhunza iyi might sound shallow or even stupid but mivhunzo inogona kubatsira many companies including everyone who is into selling goods and products everywhere.This is because in most cases ma pamphelts aya haana chaanobatsira…very little extra business is generated as a result of marketing using these pamphlets.

The biggest Question is why should I buy from you?Vanotengesa vakawandisa pano pasi..what is it extra that you are going to do for me? In street lingo..ndezvipi zvidiki zvidiki zvaungandiitire ini semutengi lol.
Ma customers emazuva ano asiyana neakare.Kwaane vanhu vakadzidza,sophisticated.Kwavanevanhu vane exposure to what is happening to other countries.Vazhinji vakamboshanya at least once kubuda muZim vakadzodza.Chikwataichi hachisi chekungoitira zvakadhakwa.

About 99.9% advertising yandirikuwona mu Zim ndeye informing the general public.’Come and buy from me..i got xyz products and services at this price’ .Iyi tinoiti marketing yenguva ya gocha nhembe.
Next week we will all work together and find many ways of enticing new customers. Ndezvipi zvidiki zvidiki zvaungagone kuitira ma customers?We want your advertising to move away from INFORMING the public to ENTICING the public. Ichinge iri mota trikuda kuita shft from gear no 1 topinda mu gear no 5.

Pari zvino homework yedu tose is to collect as many adverts as possible.Collect as many pamphlets as possible.Take photos of these pamphlets.We will keep the review interesting…we would like as much participation as possible coz neniwo ndichadzidza uye iwewe as well.

Wishing you all a productive day.
