Re Pillow Co. Weekly Journal

I've been incredibly busy lately because I'm preparing for a pop-up store to open next week in Tuen Mun Town Plaza. Although it's a short-term rental pop-up, it's still a shop unit, so there's a fair amount of space and plenty of room to work on.

This week I watched a movie called BlackBerry (2023), which is a documentary about the origin and decline of BlackBerry mobile phones.

This week I'll talk about something that seems a bit off-topic, but it's actually based on some insights I gained from things I encountered at work.

Many customers have asked if we could add floral sheets to the solid colors and cartoon collaborations, giving them more options. Of course, no problem! That's exactly what I wanted to achieve – I wanted to make it convenient for different people to enjoy new sheets, and also to be able to use the sheets they want, or the collaboration series they like – allowing them to showcase their personal style and be modern while solving the problem of changing sheets. Because it's sometimes difficult to budget for these things, I've learned a lesson over the past few years: don't rush to give a date before it's really confirmed and finished, so I haven't mentioned it until this weekend. And this weekend, it can finally officially debut!

Due to work, I watched The Little Prince (2015) for the first time this week. Judging from the movie poster, it seems like it's for children, but after watching it, I realized it's not at all.

At the North Point store, we received a Foamboard gifted to us by the Dustykid team, which was especially beautiful.

Speaking of which, we just launched a used bed sheet collection campaign this week, and the response was pretty good. This used bed sheet collection campaign was a collaboration with the SAA (Society for the Protection of Abandoned Animals). We'd actually been wanting to do it for a while, but unfortunately, work got busy, and there were various stock shortages...

More than one senior colleague once told me, "You need to learn how not to be so 'kind.' You need to understand that the world won't treat you well just because you're kind. On the contrary, more people will take advantage of you because of your 'kindness.'"

The market has indeed been quiet lately.
