Besides the custom of visiting first in the new year, business people often choose a good day to open a shop at the beginning of the year with the hope of a new year of good sales and favorable business.
Customers buy the first products of the new year at Thanh Son Yen Production and Trading Company Limited.
Folklore holds that a smooth opening of a store at the beginning of the year is a sign of a year of favorable business and prosperity. Therefore, choosing a good day and time to open a store is very important and is carefully prepared by those in the business world.
Sharing about the concept of choosing a good day to open a shop at the beginning of the new year, Director of Thanh Yen Sao Production and Trading Company Limited, Mr. Nguyen Van Tu said: “Most business people will choose a good day to open a shop at the beginning of the year, choose someone of the right age to open the shop with the wish for a new year of prosperity, prosperity, and everything going smoothly. However, there are also years when the shop has just opened, customers have come to buy, we will also be very happy to welcome them without worrying about whether their age is suitable or not. Because, in my opinion, in business, the spiritual factor only accounts for a small part, the most important thing is still good product quality and a suitable business strategy”.
Also carefully choosing a good day to open the shop at the beginning of the new year, Mr. Phi Vu, the owner of a coffee shop in Thanh Hoa City, shared: “I was born in the year of the Snake, according to folk beliefs this year is the “year of age”, more or less I will encounter some unlucky things. Therefore, I asked to choose a good day to open the shop and asked someone who is compatible with my age, the year of the Monkey or the year of the Ox, to come to my house and open the shop at the beginning of the year. The concept of our ancestors from the past until now is still the same, so I also keep in mind to follow it to avoid unwanted things from happening, but I always think that if I do everything carefully, carefully, and wholeheartedly, everything will be good and favorable”.
Besides choosing a good day to open a shop at the beginning of the year, business people often choose people with compatible ages and quick personalities to buy the shop to open the shop in the hope of good luck, many customers, and everything going smoothly for the homeowner.
Thu Thuy, owner of Thu Thuy hair salon on Ben Ngu street, Truong Thi ward (Thanh Hoa city) shared: “I have opened a hair salon for many years so I have a lot of regular customers. Every new year, I choose close, happy, easy-going customers who have a successful business and a happy family to open the shop to ask for good luck. To make both the owner and the customer happy, when the customer comes to open the shop, I usually give them lucky money or give them another small service along with the service that the customer requested.”
Not only do large businesses and stores choose the day and person to open their first store of the year, small businesses and traders also believe that "a good start and a good end" so they also choose a suitable opening day to get a good day and luck.
Ms. Le Nhung, Phu Son ward (Thanh Hoa city) runs a grocery business at home. Because it is a family store, it is very convenient for both looking after goods and receiving guests who come to visit and wish them a happy new year, without worrying about losing regular customers.
Ms. Nhung said: “Items such as candy, beer, wine, salt... are still bought by many people after Tet. Not only do I sell to regular customers, but passersby also buy a lot, so I often choose a good day and open the shop early.”
Right after Tet, Nguyen Phong Food production facility (Rung Thong ward, Thanh Hoa city) has been urgently preparing orders for the New Year holidays and the Full Moon Festival in January.
Ms. Bich Lien, owner of Nguyen Phong Food in Rung Thong Ward (Thanh Hoa City), said: "Choosing a good opening day is also a way to increase optimism and confidence in the goals and plans set for the new year; thereby creating motivation and momentum to turn those goals into reality."
For business items that buyers have little demand for at the beginning of the new year such as shops, clothing stores, drug stores... because most customers have already shopped before Tet, many shop owners will also choose a good day to open the store.
Opening a business at the beginning of the year is a cultural feature. However, business people should not rely on this concept to the point of becoming superstitious.
