Rules Are Rules

The opportunity to sell is anticipated by businesses, and buyers are always on the lookout for unique products. Whether the options are actual physical or online selling sites, sellers can introduce and offer their products, which are not available in supermarkets. Hence, customers and inquiries can come from participants of the social media platform. The reach can be immeasurable.

The preparation for organizing an online site is not overnight. The site has to be cleared with the village association, if a group is targeted and a name has to be used. Then, guidelines are set. When all site logistics have been finalized, invitations are sent to possible retailers and wholesalers. While customers only see posts of merchandise, not many are aware of the tediousness and patience that are needed to maintain the site.

In a highly-organized site, the handlers sent a memo to remind possible sellers of the guidelines they should follow. The memo stressed that non-following of any of the points would mean cancellation of slot and blocked from the group. Worse, the group can be taken out of their platform if the members are not cooperative. One of those who received the memo was Celebrity-Entrepreneur (CE), who, like many other celebrities, usually participates in selling events. Subsequently, CE sent an inquiry and was shocked to find the post was not accepted, which meant her slot was forfeited.

When CE realized that a required detail was not indicated in her goods, she sought clarification. Even though she was a known celebrity, the organizers remained firm and turned her down. Her celebrity status did not work. Instead of prolonging the issue and adhering to the guidelines, CE left the group.

‘We need to teach our kids, because there is such a celebrity culture at the moment, that however rich you are, however famous you are, however glamorous you are, everyone has to live by the same rules.’ − Nick Clegg
