There are numerous
sound reasons for your joining Track of the Tiger’s “Inside
Tracks”; here are a few of them:
1.
You
may wish to research the shopping attractions of a destination before
you travel there, thus making your trip more cost effective and
time efficient.
2.
Having
visited Chiang Mai, and liked what you purchased, you may want to
order more of the same, or a product of similar style and standard
for yourself or for friends.
3.
You
may not have the time to visit Chiang Mai, but having seen the product
advertised, would still like to buy it through the club’s
online shopping channel.
4.
You
may own, or would like to establish a small business of your own,
importing selected Thai arts & crafts to your own country, for
resale to your own network of friends and customers.
5.
You
may have your own small business (restaurant, home décor,
beauty salon or similar) and want to increase your revenue by adding
a range of arts & crafts selected to appeal to your existing
client base.
