Letter to our Retailers (6) - New Articles, new Languages and new features.
Since the last letter, our main focus has been on creating content for the groceries category, and this means adding lots of articles. We have started out with two subcategories Canned Foood and Fresh Food. All articles are sold from the 3 companies,
Fresh Food will need some sort of refrigeration unit to keep these cold. These are the articles made so far, however over the next couple of days, many more will be added to this category.
In addition to the articles, several display units have also been made, to complement these items. So a miniature supermarket could look like this:
In addition to this we will probably also add a Fruit/Vegetables category such that you can create such a department too. Some has also asked for beverages, however we don't yet know if there is time enought to add that also. However we are structuring the categories in a new way, so adding new types of articles should be way more easy for us in the future, than it has currently been, making room for drinks beeing added shortly after if we doesn't get around to it this time.
This is how we are going to structure it from now on, adding a third layer to the categiroes, so you will be able to sort it better. For instance, "Shirts" could have "Shirts", "T-shirts", "Sports" and "Long Sleeved". Like this we can add a lot more articles to a category, without it being overwhelming to look through.
In the last letter we had just released the community translator. Primarily to improve current languages, but we also added some new languages to see if there were any interest in these also. Much to our surprise there have been persons kind enough to translate some in both categories. We are very happy to see it being used, and also extremely grateful that you have taken your time to make these translations. steamhappy steamhappy Because of this, we have opened for new languages to enter the game in the future. These are:
We have also been working on other things that will improve the gaming experience. Since the new display units for the groceries cateogry, are colorable and have billboards, we have converted the existing displays to this system also. This means that you can design them by colors of your choice, and design their billboard.
To help with this system, it is also now possible to save and load colors when working with the color picker.
Finally we have also made the access to your staff easier. So the HUD when in store, will now show all employees currently at work, as well as having the possibility to change tjeir task directly from the menu.
This is all for now. We aim to release a beta to test out this version, as it helped us quite a lot in the last update. Feedback is very welcome, and a lot of you have joined our discord making it a fun place to be, along with providing with lots of ideas for us to work with. If you haven't already, you can join at: https://discord.gg/fckN6bE Until next time :-)

Dear Retailers. it is time for a new letter, and we have made quite some progress since the last one.
--- Groceries ---
Since the last letter, our main focus has been on creating content for the groceries category, and this means adding lots of articles. We have started out with two subcategories Canned Foood and Fresh Food. All articles are sold from the 3 companies,
- Tasty Dreams - The cheap solution
- Organix - Fashion foods of a medium quality
- Diamond Standard - Focuses on high quality foods.
Fresh Food will need some sort of refrigeration unit to keep these cold. These are the articles made so far, however over the next couple of days, many more will be added to this category.
In addition to the articles, several display units have also been made, to complement these items. So a miniature supermarket could look like this:
In addition to this we will probably also add a Fruit/Vegetables category such that you can create such a department too. Some has also asked for beverages, however we don't yet know if there is time enought to add that also.

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.
