The motorcycle service and seller on the big street

My country is affected by the increase or the high price of oil. So the transportation are not really good enough to support their movement because the fee is not efficient because of the gas price and not to comfy. So the best one to gain efficiency is by using motorcycle. And the result is A LOT OF MOTORCYCLE on the road.

This trend accompany the raise business to support the motorcycle. The business are:

-Motorcycle wash

-Selling helmet and motorcycle accessories

-Retail gas

-Fixing puncture tire services (by patching the hole, usually because of nail that lying on the street)

-Body sticker

-Vehicle Plate Number modifying

and others

So the question is .. to become much closer to customer (motorcycle rider) as one of the 'P' factor of marketing mix where is the best place for the business?

On the street/road off course where the motorcycle passing around come and go.

So these are the photos explain about the place or the location.

This is the body sticker services, which is the service for add some plain strong and good quality sticker to cover the body as function to cover scratch, marks, protection. We can see in this photo the costumer wants a white body.

This is patching the hole of a puncture tire service. Beside that we can add our tire air pressure if low or not match with the tire standard air pressure.

This booth is selling the glove or other small part accessories for the motorcycle rider. We can see the blue tent in the far back that I already discuss in http://camerauser.blogspot.com/2012/06/street-barber-under-big-tree.html

Street Barber Under The Big Tree

Any idea what or why is this tent about?
Yes this is the place where the people who want to haircut go to. This tent is called in my country as "Cukur Dibawah Pohon Rindang" or "Cukur DPR" or in english we can say Under The Tree Barber Place.

Most of this kind barber is placed in the side of big street which have a big tree (using the green are not the pedestrian). In this street where the photo taken there several who open the business, so it becoming rivalry. This kind of barber has been operate years. But why this kind of barber? These are several excuse:
1. Because is comfy under the tree, not hot, windy, but off course rain is unacceptable.
2.This kind of barber is saving our budget. So this is very economical. The price range around half to 0,8 us dollar. Remember that this is not using particular place like barber shop.
3.The barber man is experience too. Can handle many haircut style. So it is not different with other common barber shop.

Actually i never use this kind barber service..but maybe someday :)
