CUSTOMER'S FEEDBACK

Based on the observation we've made, most of the visitors are foreigner. A few chances to interviewed about their feedback towards on the product they've purchased. 

(i) Product is worth to purchased in terms of home country made, satisfied with the manufactured. 

(ii) In terms of price, Sabahan handicraft is average and high quality. 

(iii) Purchasing the product and bring back their home is "bringing out" Malaysia to the eyes of world. A small country but good in producing local efforts and appreciation occur. 

(iv) Traditional and arts cultures is build and harmony among Malaysian people. Different cultures in one state. 

OUR OWN PERSECTIVE ON THESE TWO SHOPS

In particular, the demand for “cultural goods” is projected to grow with rising international tourism and an increasing focus on interior decoration and collection. We have chosen these two shop based on their products and excellent customer service where we can see from the way they welcome us during the interview session.

Handicrafts are unique expressions of a particular culture or community through local craftsmanship and materials. Handicrafts are part of a much larger home accessory market, which includes handcrafted, semi-handcrafted, and machine-made goods. JH Trading and Vince Gallery has its own significant that can bring us close to nature's richness.

The response of consumers to these two handicrafts is unpredictable and lends itself less to research and generalization than does the response to other products. In our point of view, consumers buy handicrafts because they like to feel connected with indigenous traditions and cultures in a global and increasingly commoditized world. Besides being price-friendly, these two shops offer variety of choice and indeed a good service towards the buyer.

Without a doubt, these two shop are highly recommended and a must to visit for the tourist and also local citizen who are passionate on these type of accessory!
