Conclusion So, daiso has been the most choice market in singapore, the place that you can buy anything in the store with affordable price,for just 2 dollar each . But because its very cheap, so the quality of the products are not the best quality. Some of them are own brand products and some of them are imported from china. lthough the quality is not that good but this is certainly a place where even a 10 years old kids can buy anything in the store. Recommendation My Recommendation is to increase the quality, produce more product for kids, teen or even old people. But always keep the price low, because that is the strategies that get daiso to the first reccomendation store in singapore or even in japan.
