Quick answer: JC Health is a small try-before-you-buy showroom for posture, sleep and active-ageing products at Waterloo Centre, near Bugis. A recent customer suggested three improvements: a wall display of our bundles, a brighter sign outside, and a larger 70 cm pillow. We think all three are great ideas and are looking at how to make them happen.
The best advice comes from people who care
Some of the most useful advice I have ever received did not come from marketing experts or business courses. It came from customers standing right here in our showroom.
Last Saturday was one of those days. A couple in their 60s came in to choose a recovery cushion for their 27-year-old son, who was preparing for hemorrhoid surgery. They tested carefully, chose our 2-in-1 Lumbar Support & Donut Seat Cushion Set, and then the husband surprised us both by getting a second set for his own office. (You can read their full story here: A Mother's Visit Before Her Son's Hemorrhoid Surgery.)
But what stayed with me most was what happened after the sale. As she was getting ready to leave, the mother turned to me and said: "Can I give you some ideas?"
Of course.
Idea 1: "Put your bundles on the wall"
She said: when customers test a product and like it, many of them will want a bundle, just like her family did. But unless you ask, you would never know the bundles exist. "Why not put a poster on the wall, showing each bundle and what you get?"
She is absolutely right. For example, our Healthcare Bundle, which we designed for National Day especially for caregivers looking after ageing parents, comes with an extra washable sports-mesh seat cover as a gift, because a caregiver always needs a spare cover to wash and change. It is a limited bundle, with only a few sets left. That cover is not sold separately online. It is a real benefit, and it is completely invisible unless I mention it.
What a great idea. A simple wall poster could help every visitor see their options at a glance, without feeling pushed. We are looking into how to design one that is clear and easy to read, especially for our senior customers.
Idea 2: "Make the shop easier to find"
Her second suggestion: put a bright light outside the store, so people can see us from further away.
This one made me smile, because I have heard it before. Our neighbour, a chiropractor on the same floor, told me his patients say the same thing. Waterloo Centre can be a little confusing the first time you visit.
A brighter sign is a great idea too. We will check what is possible within the building's rules. In the meantime, here is how to find us:
- By MRT: about a 300 m walk from Bras Basah MRT (CC2, Circle Line), or the same distance from Bencoolen MRT (DT21, Downtown Line, blue line).
- Landmark: we are on the same street as the famous Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple (四马路观音庙), about a 5-minute walk away.
- In the building: Waterloo Centre, 261 Waterloo Street, level 2, unit #02-02.
And if you are ever lost, just WhatsApp us at 8812 2622 and we will guide you.
Idea 3: "You should have a big 70 cm pillow"
Her third idea came from her own experience. She had bought several pillows online in the past, and some made her neck pain worse. In the end, she travelled to a factory showroom in Malaysia to test pillows in person, and now sleeps happily on a big 70 cm pillow.
She tried our ergonomic pillows too and liked them, and then she suggested that we also carry a larger 70 cm size. Some people, especially those with broad shoulders or who move around a lot in their sleep, simply prefer more space.
It is a valuable suggestion, and we have noted it. When we look at new pillow sizes, a wider option will be on our list.
Why customer suggestions matter so much to a small shop
JC Health is a small, specialist shop. We do not compete on the lowest price or on endless discounts. We compete on something slower and, we believe, more valuable:
- letting you try before you buy, on real chairs and real beds,
- explaining honestly, even when the honest answer is "you don't need to buy this",
- and being here with a 30-day 1-to-1 exchange if something is not right.
When a customer takes the time to give advice, it means they want us to do well. It is a kind of trust. As she walked out, she said: "I trust you. You can do it." We do not take that lightly.
To her and her family: thank you. Your suggestions are good ones, and we are listening.
