Dealers' Product Training

We had our first official dealers training yesterday with representatives from more than 10 outlets.

The training was organized in conjunction with the launch of Yuan Shampoos and new range of soaps in Malaysia.

Shampoo Range 洗头水

Health Fair 2009@ PWTC!. Part 1

This is a fair which took more than 6 months to plan. From the design down to promotion, as we were thinking to do what others would not do and to take in details that others would not notice. But still at the end due to time constraints, we pretty much cheated in some way.

We had 2 booths and wanted to large open spaces hence all the dividers were taken off. Since we were launching our new range of shampoo, we felt the message should be very clear, translating what Yuan's message for the shampoo range to the booth.

The result is something like this (for those who did not manage to visit us at the fair)

Background for the booth. Also part of our shampoo brochure. The rocks and the streams actually made up the word "xin/ 心” which means heart in Chinese. I did not notice the word till much later , I think I got distracted by the fishes swimming up stream. Yuan's words always reminded me to work with my "心”. While working on this brochure and background, we did not realise that we created 3 brochures with the word "心”, this was not on purpose but somehow, Yuan's works alway revolve around his heart.

Ok, out of topic here, but since we are on "心”， I received this earlier this morning from Taiwan, which literally translated to "Using my heart to thank you" (ok, not a very good translator too)

If I am not mistaken, this is something he wrote for the World's AIDS Day.

A FULL CIRCLE

Chinese really likes the idea of full and roundness, to signify togetherness. The older I get the more I value such concept. Nowadays, any family, old schoolmates and ex colleagues gathering is a novelty for me and thanks to social network like Facebook and Twitter, one can never be short of topics if a gathering happens.

Happy Mid Autumn Festival! To check out our sites for some gift ideas for this occasions and hope you will have a "full" gathering this Saturday!

Perhaps, Love

Perhaps we could have these chocolate looking soaps for next years' Valentine's.
