Hello! This is Tsujigami from the Tokyo sales office, and this is my second time writing a blog post.

It has already been six months since I joined the company in April, and during that time I have had a whirlwind of experiences, learning many things and meeting many new people through my work.

The job of sales, simply put, is to "popularize ARK's products to the world," and one of the things that this involves is fairs (events) and tasting promotional sales.

This time, I would like to introduce the initiatives at Kinokuniya, the company I am in charge of!

There are several stores planning to hold fairs after September, but the one that has decided on the dates for the fair most recently is the Daily Table KINOKUNIYA Hikarigaoka IMA store.

The Hikarigaoka IMA store holds fairs every month, with many repeat purchases of products such as grilled hamburger steak, pork trotters, and braised pork. Ark's products have established a strong foothold in the store with stable sales.

The image shows the fair in July. The fair is always held on a large scale like this!

In addition, although the detailed dates have yet to be decided, a tasting promotional sale is planned for October at Kinokuniya Todoroki store.

Until now, I have only had experience selling sample versions of processed products such as ham and sausages, but I would like to sell Tategamori Highland Pork for the first time.

I want to thoroughly prepare how to serve the food and what concept will please our customers, and achieve good results at the Todoroki store!

I plan to do my best every day, remembering the faces of the employees at all production sites, including those involved in daily pig care, manufacturing, processing, logistics, and sales, that I learned about during my training in Iwate.
