Thanks to the application of information technology and taking advantage of online sales opportunities on social networks, Ms. Dang Thi Minh (Tan Tien Hamlet, Tan Thong Hoi Commune, Cu Chi District, Ho Chi Minh City) has successfully started a business selling mixed rice paper - a famous snack in Ho Chi Minh City.
Ms. Minh said that her family has no tradition of doing business, only farming. After starting her own family, she mainly stayed at home as a housewife and did not have a stable job. Before she started her business, her husband worked as a bus ticket seller, and the family's life depended on her husband's meager salary, so they faced many difficulties and shortages.
Hoping to earn more income and assert herself in society, along with encouragement from local women, Ms. Minh decided to start a small-scale mixed rice paper business.
Ms. Minh shared: "At first, I only sold to children in the neighborhood and students at the school near my house. In the early stages of selling, I only sold a few tens of thousands of dong each day, not enough to cover daily expenses. This job seemed simple, but when I started doing it, I realized that I needed to learn a lot. If the mixed rice paper was not delicious, had a bland taste, and looked bad, I would not have customers. Sometimes I felt discouraged, but I told myself to try hard and persevere to find ways to innovate. I asked for customers' opinions and gradually learned from experience. I created to make the rice paper have a variety of attractive flavors. Thanks to that, my skills were improved. The mixed rice paper product was supported by many buyers."

In 2012, she decided to expand her business with the brand "Minh Minh Rice Paper". She learned and created delicious, flavorful rice paper products. Ms. Minh also learned to add new spices and create new recipes, giving her mixed rice paper a unique flavor, attracting many customers of all ages.
"To make a bag of delicious, cheap and safe mixed rice paper requires going through many stages. Each bag of mixed rice paper is packaged very carefully, meticulously. Each product must suit the taste of each region to attract customers," said Ms. Minh.
One of the very important factors contributing to her success is the application of information technology. She proactively researched and built the Facebook channel "Banh Trang Minh Minh" and promoted it on different groups. After a while, her products were loved by many people in all regions and consumed more and more. She learned to create vivid video content, promote products to customers, thanks to which online orders increased significantly.
Currently, her mixed rice paper products are chosen by consumers because of their brand and clear labels. The products are not only consumed domestically but also exported to foreign countries. After deducting expenses, the family's income is about 50 million VND/month.
Ms. Minh said: " The family's production facility currently creates jobs for 20 to 25 local female workers, with a monthly income of about 6 million VND or more depending on each person's labor capacity. Thereby, the facility contributes to creating jobs on the spot, supporting women with a stable income to work together to rise up."
