HEAR FROM OUR SMEs
Ms Zhang Weijia
Marketing and HR Manager
Hi-Beau Group
The student consultants were really very willing to learn; they came hungry and they came prepared to take action. We were all very surprised by the quality of the brand audits that they did and they gave us a lot of valuable insights into what our customers think about our brand and what to improve on.
Mr Gary Loh
Executive Chairman
SunMoon Food Pte. Ltd.
When we first participated in the SME Consulting Programme, we thought it was something that we can engage with the students and the students can learn a little bit from us. But what came as a surprise was, we learnt a lot more from the students instead. The team and the people behind this programme were very driven and they see this as an opportunities for SMEs to use students in a right way where we can have a fresh perspective of seeing and approaching a problem. So I really appreciate what they have done and we are actually very thankful that we have participated in this programme. The recommendations have been very useful; I think so useful that we're actually going to use it as a playbook in terms of the strategies that we should be adopting.
Mr Chan Weiwen
Director
Chan Yew Leathers Pte. Ltd.
The student consultants were able to give us practical solutions to target where our problems are and what are the things that we need to embark on to improve the business. Based on the suggestions given to us, we have implemented some of the low-hanging fruits on the social media front and that actually gives us a lot more customer enquiries. Our enquiries grew more than 50-60% after we have tweaked our postings.
Mr Christopher Ho
General Manager
Bullworks Pte. Ltd. (Mint Museum of Toys)
We were happy that the student team validated our plans for the business and also provided useful insights. One of the strategies was to place more emphasis on "imaginations" that is currently lacking and we keep this in mind whenever we craft our workshops.

At the end of the project the hard work put in by the team not only exceeded my expectations but the recommendations given were fresh, new and exciting that I can't wait to try out.
