Chapter 433: Beautiful Belt and Flowing Fragrance
After Chen Jia and Chen Jue successfully developed the female market for herbal-dyed aromatherapy purses, the manor's dyeing and weaving industry flourished. Chen Jue did not stop innovating. By chance, he focused his attention on women's hair accessories and was determined to invent unique and exquisite silk headbands, adding more color to the manor's business territory and bringing more income opportunities to the women in the manor.
That afternoon, the sun shone through the window into Chen Jue's study, where he was contemplating a pile of colorful silk samples. Chen Jia walked into the study quietly, and seeing Chen Jue's focused expression, she asked softly, "My husband, what are you thinking about? You look so absorbed."
Chen Jue raised his head, his eyes sparkling with inspiration, and said, "Madam, look at these silks, they are colorful and soft. I thought we could make them into headbands. Nowadays, ladies have higher and higher requirements for hair accessories. If we can make silk headbands that are both fun and beautiful, they might be very popular."
Chen Jia was slightly stunned, and then a smile of approval appeared on her face: "Husband, your idea is really good. And we can also make some unique embellishments on the headband, such as bells and jade, to make the headband more unique."
Chen Jue excitedly held Chen Jia's hand and said, "My dear, you and I are on the same page. The crisp sound of the bells, the warm luster of the jade, combined with the silk, will definitely make the headband more attractive. But we still need to work harder on the design and production."
Chen Jia thought for a moment and said, "Husband, we can design some different styles first, matching bells and jade according to the color and texture of the silk. For example, silk with light colors can be matched with white jade and small silver bells, while silk with bright colors can be matched with colorful jade and copper bells."
Chen Jue nodded in agreement: "Madam, your suggestion is very creative. We can also consider the length and width of the headband. Different hairstyles are suitable for headbands of different specifications. I will start drawing a design sketch now."
In the following days, Chen Jue immersed himself in the design work, repeatedly revising the sketches, striving to make each headband perfect. Chen Jia also assisted and provided a lot of valuable suggestions.
One day, Chen Jue held a design sketch and said to Chen Jia in a somewhat tangled tone: "My dear, look at this headband. I want to arrange some small bells on it to create a gradient effect. But I am worried that too many bells will make the headband look heavy and affect the comfort of wearing it."
Chen Jia studied the sketch carefully and said, "Husband, we can make a sample first. Choose some light bells and control the number to see the actual effect. If it is really too heavy, we can reduce the number of bells or adjust the arrangement."
After hearing this, Chen Jue's eyes lit up: "Madam, you are right. Practice makes perfect. Let's start making samples now."
Chen Jue and Chen Jia came to the dyeing and weaving workshop and selected the appropriate silk, bells and jade. Chen Jue carefully cut the silk, while Chen Jia helped to string the bells and jade. After some hard work, the first sample headband was finally made.
Chen Jue picked up the headband and shook it gently. Listening to the crisp sound of the bell, an expectant look appeared on his face: "Madam, look at this headband, the color is bright and the sound of the bell is pleasant, but I don't know how it will look when worn."
Chen Jia smiled and said, "Husband, let's find an embroiderer to try."
They found a young embroiderer and asked her to put on the headband. The embroiderer looked in the mirror and said happily, "Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, this headband is so beautiful, and it doesn't feel heavy when I wear it. The sound of the bell is also nice."
Chen Jia and Chen Jue looked at the headband on the embroiderer's head and nodded with satisfaction. Chen Jue said, "Madam, it seems that this headband is very successful. Let's make a few more different samples and then invite some ladies to try them out and listen to their opinions."
In the following days, Chen Jue and Chen Jia made many more silk headbands of different designs. They invited some noble ladies to the manor to show these exquisite headbands.
A noble lady picked up a headband decorated with pink jade and golden bells. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Mr. Chen, Madam Chen, this headband is so exquisite. The color combination of the pink jade and the satin is just right, and the sound of the bell is also very crisp."
Another noble lady also praised: "Yes, and the style of this headband is very novel, it is different from the hair accessories I usually wear. I like it very much."
After receiving the approval of the noble ladies, Chen Jia and Chen Jue decided to start mass production of silk headbands. Chen Jia said to the embroiderers and workers in the dyeing and weaving workshop: "Sisters, our silk headbands are very popular, and now we are going to start mass production. Everyone must ensure the quality, and each headband must be carefully made."
An embroiderer said, "Madam Chen, we will definitely put our heart into it. But the number of bells and jade may be a little limited."
Chen Jue said: "Don't worry about this. I will arrange for people to purchase enough materials to ensure smooth production."
Under the organization of Chen Jia and Chen Jue, the production of silk headbands proceeded in an orderly manner. As a batch of wholesale headbands were completed, Chen Jia and Chen Jue began to contact shops and ladies in various places to promote their products.
Chen Jia said to Chen Jue, "Husband, we can open specialty stores in some prosperous cities to sell our silk headbands and other dyed and woven products. This will increase our brand awareness."
Chen Jue nodded and said, "Madam, your idea is very good. We can also let the women on the farm participate in the sales work, so that they have more sources of income."
Therefore, Chen Jia and Chen Jue organized the women in the manor and gave them sales training. Chen Jia patiently said to the women: "Sisters, these silk headbands are new products of our manor and are very popular among the ladies. When you sell them, you must enthusiastically introduce the characteristics and advantages of the headbands so that more people can understand and buy our products."
One woman said with some concern: "Mrs. Chen, we have no sales experience, can we do it well?"
Chen Jia smiled and encouraged: "Sisters, don't worry. As long as you work hard and communicate more with customers, you will be able to do it well. And we will be there to guide you."
With the encouragement and guidance of Chen Jia and Chen Jue, the women in the village gradually mastered the sales skills. Wearing silk headbands, they walked into the streets and alleys of the city to sell products to noble ladies.
As the sales of silk headbands continued to increase, the income of the women in the village also increased. One woman took the money she had just earned and said excitedly to Chen Jia and Chen Jue: "Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, thank you for giving us this opportunity. Now our income has increased and our lives are getting better and better."
Chen Jia smiled and said, "Sisters, this is the result of your hard work. I hope we can continue to work hard together to make our products sell better."
Chen Jue also said: "Yes, we will continue to innovate and launch more and better products. Let our manor and everyone's life get better and better."
Under the leadership of Chen Jia and Chen Jue, the silk headband business grew bigger and bigger and became another important source of income for the manor.
