尽管售价不菲,但仍没挡住喜欢它的人来来往往。
这里有营业员们向顾客们示范着制作各种风格迥异的饰品,许多顾客也是学得不亦乐乎。
在现场,有上班族在里面精挑细选成品,有细心的小女孩在仔细盘算着用料和价钱,准备自己制作的原料。
可以想见,用本来稀奇的原料,加上别具匠心的制作,每一款成品都必是独一无二的。
而这也许正是自己制造所能带来最大的快乐吧。

市场环境所提供的创业机会是客观的,但还必须具备自身的创业优势,才能使我们的创业项目成为可行。
作为大学生的我们所具有的优势在于:
创业首先要有“风险意识”,要能承受住风险和失败。
还要有责任感,要对公司、员工、投资者负责。
务实精神也必不可少,必须踏实做事;Thisisthereasonweplacesomuchemphasisonamultidisciplinaryeducation—onethatencouragesscientiststostudythenovelsofToniMorrisonandthesymphoniesofLudwigvanBeethoven,andhumaniststostudyCharlesDarwin’stheoryofnaturalselectionandAlbertEinstein’stheoryofrelativity.Aliberalartseducationisnot,asaliteraltranslationmightsuppose,aleftwingcurriculumforartists.Onthecontrary,itencompassesabreadthofacademicstudythatis,accordingtotheLatinderivation,“propertofreepersons.”Inmedievaltimes,educationwaslimitedtoasmallelite,buttodaytheliberalartsarepursuedbyallwhowishtoexercisetheirminds,freelyandopenly,inordertoacquiretheintellectualgroundingtheyneedtoexcelinlife,regardlessoftheirprofession.

根据调查资料分析:
大学生的消费购买能力还是有限的,为此DIY手工艺品的消费不能高,这才有广阔的市场。
1、现代文化对大学生饰品消费的影响
自制饰品一反传统的饰品消费模式,引导的是一种全新的饰品文化,所以非常容易被我们年轻的女生接受。

可是创业不是一朝一夕的事,在创业过程中会遇到很多令人难以想象的疑难杂症,对我们这些80年代出生的温室小花朵来说,更是难上加难。
