Who doesn't know Zaskia Adya Mecca? The wife of the famous director Hanung Bramantyo started her career as an artist and presenter. After getting married, Zaskia chose to become an entrepreneur in the fashion sector. Maybe you are also familiar with the quite well-known Zaskia brand, called Meccanism. In opening and managing her business, Zaskia collaborated with her older sister, Tasya Nurmedina. But did you know, as time went by, it turned out that Zaskia was more comfortable if her business wasn't too big, you know. I wonder why? I'll continue reading until the end to find out the answer, because there are many more facts behind the Zaskia Mecca business as a result of direct interviews with the Qasir team.
1. Beginning of becoming an entrepreneur
After getting married, Zaskia automatically separated from her brother and sister. This mother of four children, who is familiarly called Bia, also wants to create activities that can keep her in touch with her brothers and sisters. Plus, when Zaskia had children, she also felt that bringing her children to the shooting location was not a good thing for the children.
“When filming it will be really tiring if I take the children with me, I don't know whether it will be comfortable for them or not,” said this mother of four children. Well, doing business is the answer. When she first started doing business, Zaskia only sold hijabs with her sister, Tasya. The products were sold only to relatives until they spread to many areas.
2. Zaskia's strategy in business
When she first started her business, Zaskia did not have a mature business strategy. Even in determining the selling price, he only made guesses. For example, from the capital price of one headscarf of 50 thousand, he sells it for 80 thousand. However, according to him, there are many other aspects that must be taken into account when determining the selling price.
3. Zaskia feels more comfortable having a small business
As time goes by, the business of Zaskia and her older sister, Tasya, is bearing fruit. Now, Zaskia already has more than 100 employees who manage Meccanism. However, there was a time when Zaskia, instead of being happy, felt stressed.
“I feel that when a business gets bigger, it becomes more complicated, even when I hear the name Meccanism, I immediately get really stressed,” he said.
Actually, Zaskia felt uncomfortable running a business that was too big because she always wanted a business that, even though it was small, still had a close relationship with the team and employees. In fact, he once asked Tasya whether he needed to return his business to normal. However, this was not done because Zaskia and her sister finally realized that if the business got bigger, the number of meals they would help would increase.
4. Zaskia never knew her employees
When she first opened Meccanism, Zaskia was only assisted by Tasya and one employee who worked as admin. As Zaskia's business developed, the number of employees increased rapidly in a short time. Until one time, Zaskia didn't recognize her employees one by one, there were so many of them.
5. The secret behind good business management
When her business grew very widely, Zaskia experienced confusion about managing her business management. This is because he has to monitor various things, such as stock in the warehouse, employee affairs, shop branches, and transaction reports. To make everything run well, Zaskia uses Qasir. He has even been using the Qasir application since 2016.
Well, those are the five facts behind Zaskia's Meccanism business. Has anyone among the BossQ ever experienced the same thing as Zaskia?
