Letter to our retailers (5) - Translation system and progress on groceries.
Yay, our translation system is finally up and running! Over the time a lot of you has offered help with translating the game, both in existing languages, but also into new ones we haven't supported. And while we would love your help, setting up and handling the logistics was one of the main reasons why we have turned down the help. In December we finally set the time aside to create a system, where you can assist in translating as little or as much as you want to, and last week we were able to set it public. To help out with translations go to: https://translate.kingofretail.com/ As the system is completely new, feedback is also very welcome :)
In our last letter we were preparing for groceries, and by that changing the displays to allow various sixed items. Most of the time has been spent on progression with these systems. They are finally at a place where we feel they are as we want them to be. However some of the systems as you know them as changed. Some displays will be as you know them. Shirt displys will have the same amount of shirts as previous. However tables will carry as many as can fit in the width. So a table can maybe carry 4 computers but 6 mice, removing a lot of the wasted space on the smaller items. The new shelf type, allows you to add shelves, and move them up and down so that it fits a lot ot articles without wasting too much space.
Displays will now be colored by your choice, rather than using the "Material orb" system. The orbs allowed for various materials, but the downside to this is that you cant make the various displays look up to their best, as they all have to fit these "generic" looks also. Instead you will now be able to select which colors your displays should be, allowing for a more customizable look for your store. In future this will also allow that you can get more than one "skin" for each display. These skins are made specific for each display allowing them to look much more detailed than previsously. This also means that we have some work to do changing the existing displays, but hopefully it will bring an inprovement to overall graphics. As an added bonus, all displays will allow for the option of adding a billboard to them. These borads can also be customized in various vays. This time it will go out as a test, but in the future this can be expanded so you will be able to hang these boards down from the ceiling, and also add your own graphics to it.
With the displays in order, we have just started yesterday adding articles to the groceries category, with the very first items being Cereal Boxes, with the two companies Tasty Foods and Organix fighting for the market.
Over the next weeks this category will of course be expanded with a lot of interesting articles, such that you can create your own supermarket. Until next time Oh.. and don't hesitate to join our discord at: https://discord.gg/fckN6bE Happy sales

Dear Retailers It is time for our next letter, explaining what we have been up to.

King of Retail is a store management simulation game, where you as the owner of a new store must make the right decisions to make your store thrive and bring you the big bucks. Can you handle the pressure, or will you fail miserably in a big bankruptcy?
As the owner and manager you have a lot of responsibilities on a daily basis.
You must:
All of this is is just an ordinary day as a store owner.
Are you ready to take on the challenge? If yes, then King of Retail is the game for you.
As the owner and manager you have a lot of responsibilities on a daily basis.
You must:
Choose the direction of your store
Should it be a Shoe Store for the fashionable type, an Electronics Store for your everyday needs, or a giant Hypermarket that sells a bit of everything? Not everything will work. Trying to sell high-fashion, high-priced items in the poor part of town will not generate endless queues at your register. Will you try to dominate a competitive market, or go in an unexplored direction.Control the article flow
For an article to be taken home by a customer, a lot of things must be taken care of. First you must select and order the articles. For a delivery to take place, the storage space must be able to receive and handle the delivered articles. The sales area must have the right displays and registers to showcase and sell the articles. Building a good relationship with your suppliers is key to be able to sell their more exclusive items. Oh, and by the way, which article should be the first for your customers to see when they enter your store? The bulk selling jeans, or the hyped silk shirt?Get people inside your store
Build your reputation among your customers, and make your store the most sought after in town. A good marketing scheme, along with happy customers will work wonders for your income. But don't oversell your idea. If you can't keep what you promise, the customers will leave the store dissatisfied, and nothing ruins a store quicker than unhappy customers.Please the customer
Create an enjoyable atmosphere for your customers to shop in, and theme your store, so they will know it is YOUR store they have entered. Make sure they receive the help they need, and that the lines for the registers don't grow too long. Manage the in-store marketing, so that both the fashionistas and the discount-hunters knows where to go, and which article to pick.Manage your personnel
When you have too much on your plate to handle yourself, it might be the time for you to get some staff. Find interesting candidates among the applications. Conduct interviews, get a feel for the person, and decide if they match the role you need taken care of. Negotiate their salary and hire them. Keep them happy, and make sure they are not overworked. A great working climate gives great dedication. But you still need to sort the slackers from the workers. Invest time in the right persons, and train them to become better so when you need a stand-in for yourself, when you move to the next store, you can pick from your own home-grown talents.Optimize the store
The difference between a good store and a great store lies in the detail. Weed out the poor selling articles, and get more of the good ones. Make sure you don't order unnecessarily many articles, but still enough that you don't run out. Optimize the prizes to increase the income. Find the customer patterns and adjust the opening hours accordingly. Plan an efficient staff schedule, so you don't pay people for doing nothing.Prepare for big events
Is a VIP coming? Christmas soon? Black Friday? Can you spot the next big trend before anyone else? Adjust your actions according to the events occurring in a dynamic city that changes day by day.All of this is is just an ordinary day as a store owner.
Are you ready to take on the challenge? If yes, then King of Retail is the game for you.
