Dragon Market (Nam Dinh City) was once known as the most famous shopping paradise in Nam Dinh. However, as noted by PV Lao Dong Newspaper in April, at this market, the buyer is empty.
Ms. Oanh - a wholesale small trader at the Dragon Market for nearly 40 years - shared: "In the" golden age "of the traditional market, this market is full of stalls of all kinds of goods.
According to Ms. Oanh as well as many other small businesses, compared to before, the amount of goods sold has decreased greatly, down about 60%. Many stall owners stay only because they keep trader and old, difficult to find other jobs.
Buying a stall to sell cloth at the Dragon Market of relatives to do business, Ms. Nguyen Thi Loan (Nam Dinh City) said: "When I bought it about 15 years ago, the dragon market was developed. Now, customers buying retail fabric for sewing clothes are not much, so they are increasingly dull. Here is to hold a place to sell to specialized tailors who have taken goods many years ago. "
Facing the above situation, Ms. Loan also gradually studied with online sales, posting her fabric products to sell online. However, due to lack of experience and creativity, Loan's online trading is not easy.
"Because they are not trained in experience, they should be done, and online business is not only sold but the owner also has to invest, focusing on finding ways or attracting to customers, creating trust for shoppers.
Having a house near the Dragon market, Ms. Hoang Thi Linh said that for about 5 years, Ms. Linh has not entered the market to buy things. "Most of the Dragon Market items I can buy online and on the side of the road.
The representative of the Dragon Market Management Board said that the best -selling item in the Dragon Market was formerly fabric but for many years, the selling amount was worse. The market is mainly wholesale but when e -commerce develops and the means of transporting goods to the areas of the facility is more convenient, so there are few customers who come to the market to choose to buy directly.
