Branding

Fuji Heavy Industry changed their name to SUBARU on April 1, 2017. I saw SUBARU branded pressure washer at COSTCO today. Every know who made this ... if they have said it FHI (Fuji Heavy Industry), nobody would have know who that would be. That's is how important the brand recognition is.

Except, if this pressure washer breaks down, some people will take it to SUBARU car dealership.

富士重工が SUBARU に名前をかえたのが４月１日、COSTCO に SUBARU ブランドのプレッシャーワッシャーが並んでいた。やはりブランドは大切だ。ここで Fuji Heavy Industry と書いてあっても分かる人は少ないだろう。でもこのプレッシャーワッシャーが壊れたら、SUBARU の車のディーラーに持ってゆく人がいるだろ。

Taking American Food to Japan

I really think there is a need for good american food restaurant in Japan. And if I had time in Japan to do it myself, I would succeed. But that does mean I have to leave Seattle and move to Japan.

For that reason, this venture is seeking partners in Japan instead of doing it myself.

What is the key to selling online ...

4月

20日

How do people find your product from the pile?

Is online sales 100% based on pricing only?

The answer is "YES" 98% of the time.
There t=are three factors ...

(1) Branding / Recognition / Marketing
(2) Support / Aftercare / Reviews
(3) Pricing

Well, (1) and (2) do not matter if your pricing is high?
I will test out the pricing next week ... Let's see if my theory is correct.

With in few minutes, we already had two people viewed.

Our goal is to establish online sales mechanism for Uchikura & Co. Once the channel (method / Mechanism) is established, we can bring in more products from and to all over the world.

We have developed the online sales page under http://www.uchikura.co ... http://www.uchikura.co/shop/ and used Facebook advertisement to promote it. It sold some, but not as much as we hoped for. So we stopped Facebook advertisement for now.

As an experiment, we have posted the product on eBay today. Everyday, we try something and learn something.

Message about Bluetooth Headphone from Uchikura

4月

8日

Why am I selling bluetooth headphones for $14.95?

Well, I was looking for headphones that I could use with my iPhone 7 and all of the name brand headsets were over $100. I did find some affordable models, but I wasn't familiar with the vendors and I would have to wait a long time for products shipped from China. The problem isn't that the headphones are made in China, but that they take too long to ship from China.

Products from China are affordable, but can take weeks to arrive. And if I have a problem with the product, I have to deal with a company or seller in China. I don't want the hassle of dealing with a foreign company over warranties and shipping. I searched for vendors in the US that sold and supported a cheap bluetooth headset, but didn't find any.

So, I contacted a manufacturer to buy bluetooth headsets to resell in the US so others don't have the same problem. I wanted to offer bluetooth headphones for as cheap as possible so I discovered ways to keep the cost down. One way to reduce costs is to buy in bulk. Another way to save money is to reduce the product weight and size by getting rid of the packaging. I asked the manufacturer to ship products in plastic bags (instead of boxes) which cost less and saved me a lot of money on shipping!

I can set the price to $19.95 ($14.95 pre-order) because I found ways to reduce the product and shipping costs. I even offer free shipping for US residents! You may not have heard of Uchikura & Co. before, but that's because this is my first time selling a product like this. I am a consumer with the same wants and needs as you. I know what I want from a vendor and can provide that standard of quality. I personally check each set of headphones that go out and if there is a problem with the product, I will make it right.

If you have any questions about my company or product, please email me. We expect to start shipping headphones out around the 17th of April. With your support I can continue to offer products at the best price and customer service.

Thank you,

Ken Uchikura
