◤企动人心◢叶志超:什么生意最容易成功?
你知道生意人,做什么样的生意最容易成功吗?
说到TUMI这个牌子,相信只要是白领一族或是商人,都不会感到陌生。
这个牌子给人最深的印象,就是以高档、耐用、多功能而著称的商务包。由于其尼龙材质十分耐磨,可供高频出差的商务人士使用5到10年。这是其他同类产品望尘莫及的,从而也确立了TUMI在市场的领先地位。
而TUMI这个品牌的创办人,其实是曾驻守南美洲的美国和平部队成员——查理克里夫(Charlie Clifford)。

1975年1万美元创业
查理克里夫于1975年和一名伙伴以1万美元(约4.53万令吉)资金,联合创办一家皮革制品进口商。那时他的目标是致力于为各地终日奔波的人士提供完美的旅行产品。随着品牌日渐扩大,查理克里夫在90年代开始进军欧洲,并在后来大举进军亚太市场。截至2007年,TUMI在超过30个国家已经拥有50家销售网点。
TUMI集团于2012年4月在纽约股票交易所上市。开盘第一天,每股价格从发售价18美元(约81.60令吉)飙涨逾60%至29.10美元(约132令吉)收盘,表现非常不错。也因为如此,TUMI一上市就募得3亿3800万美元(约15.3亿令吉),公司市值瞬间高达17.9亿美元(约81亿令吉)。
不过,查理克里夫早在2004年就已宣布退休,离开了TUMI管理层。
创办新行李箱品牌
离开TUMI后的查理克里夫,于2018年和TUMI的前执行副主席拉里(Larry Lein)利用两人在行李箱领域的专业知识,联合创办了一家新的高端行李箱品牌——ROAM。
与TUMI有所不同的是,ROAM是一个能让客户客制化行李箱的品牌。
查理克里夫曾说:“有别于TUMI的招牌黑色设计,ROAM的行李颜色更多元化,也更鲜艳。客户能根据自己的需求和喜好,让我们为你们量身打造最具个人特色的行李箱。”
对此,不少美国媒体都对ROAM品牌赞誉有加。其中财经杂志《福布斯》更称赞说,ROAM是一家极具前景的行李箱公司,未来有望颠覆整个领域。
做自己擅长的事
查理克里夫接连两次创业成功的故事教会我们,做生意,要做自己最擅长的事。
在行李箱和商务包领域经验丰富的查理克里夫,深谙如何才能制造高端、高质量的行李箱品牌。因此就算退休多年后想再次创业,他仍然选择自己最熟悉的行李箱行业。
也因为有足够的把握,品牌一经推出立刻引起正面反响,大获市场好评。
常言道,做擅长的事,事半功倍。做不擅长的事,事倍而功半。这句话并非无道理。
