On the first day the shoe store opened, Yuanchun launched a promotion: all shoes were twenty percent off, with a buy-one-get-one-free deal. For every pair of shoes purchased, the customer would receive a free item—either a woven back basket, a vegetable basket, or a broom.
Since the shoes were cheap and came with gifts, people flocked to the shop with the mentality that it would be foolish not to take advantage of such a bargain. Yuanchun and her parents were so busy they didn’t even have time to eat lunch. By the end of the first day, over half of their three hundred pairs of shoes had been sold.
Before the shoe factory closed for the day, Yuanchun hurried to the post office to call Director Xiao. She ordered another eight hundred pairs and immediately wired the payment.
