Participants had to finish 20 deep-fried scorpions and 4 live coconut larvae. Successful contestants won VND 1 million; those who lost paid VND 250,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The effectiveness of this idea remains unclear, but its creator says customers are enthusiastic. After 15 days, the program had attracted more than 200 challengers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Mr. Minh shared that before opening his eatery, he spent years researching insects' life cycles and breeding methods. When it first opened, the unfamiliar dishes made many customers hesitant. He therefore came up with the idea of a fun challenge event that would also introduce the dishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cTo prepare for the program, my team and I personally fried and tasted many scorpions. So the quantity in the customer challenge is quite reasonable,\u201d Minh added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In year 2 at Ho Chi Minh City Banking University, \u0110inh Tu\u1ea5n \u00c2n (born in 1989 in Qu\u1ea3ng Ng\u00e3i) changed direction to sell tofu pudding. He now owns a well-known chain in Saigon. To mark the brand's renaming, \u00c2n organized a kissing promotion. Many customers participated, and the shop was often packed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Speaking about the unusual idea, \u00c2n said: \u2018Traditional discounts are no longer suitable. Customers prefer interactive programs instead. The entire communications budget is used to serve customers. After 10 days, more than 6,000 people had participated.\u2019 Beyond novel ways of organizing promotions, many business owners are also creating unique products appearing on the market for the first time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Tr\u1ea7n Thanh T\u00f9ng (born in 1988, living in District 1) is also the owner of the caf\u00e9 with a one-of-a-kind cup made from pastry. After finishing their drinks, customers can eat the cups. When he began, T\u00f9ng spent more than 2 weeks researching and successfully making a cup-shaped pastry shell. Only then did he dare put the product on sale. The owner himself was surprised by the enthusiastic customer response.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/thebusiness.vn\/uploads\/nghenghiep\/y-tuong-kinh-doanh-la-cua-nhung-ong-chu-8x-o-sai-gon-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Unique coffee with an edible cup<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Coffee served in edible cups, with spoons and plates made from biscuits and chocolate, is a business idea adopted recently by some shops in Ho Chi Minh City. Today, in addition to cups, spoons, plates, and other accessories can also be eaten. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">T\u00f9ng has also introduced flavor-changing ice cubes\u2014a new product at the caf\u00e9. The ice comes with special fruit flavors that change when added to a glass of water. According to the owner, customers are quite excited about this \u2018unconventional\u2019 product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Sharing the idea of edible cups, T\u01b0\u1eddng Vy, born in 1988 and living in District 10, designed smoothie cups made of coconut jelly. She said the smoothies, priced at VND 29,000, keep the shop busy. At times, demand is so high that the store cannot make cups fast enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">According to Cafebiz<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-seo=\"yup-program-link-20261001\"><strong>Ch\u01b0\u01a1ng tr\u00ecnh li\u00ean quan t\u1ea1i YUP Education:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/x1\/\">X-Startup \u2013 kh\u00f3a h\u1ecdc kh\u1edfi nghi\u1ec7p \u00abKh\u1edfi Ch\u00e1nh Nghi\u1ec7p\u00bb<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/journey\/\">The Journey \u2013 l\u1ed9 tr\u00ecnh ph\u00e1t tri\u1ec3n doanh nh\u00e2n<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Th\u00e1ch \u0111\u1ea5u \u0103n c\u00f4n tr\u00f9ng, khuy\u1ebfn m\u00e3i n\u1ee5 h\u00f4n, c\u00e0 ph\u00ea \u0103n lu\u00f4n ly\u2026 l\u00e0 \u00fd t\u01b0\u1edfng kinh doanh t\u00e1o b\u1ea1o c\u1ee7a nh\u1eefng \u00f4ng ch\u1ee7 ng\u00e0nh d\u1ecbch v\u1ee5 \u1edf TP HCM th\u1eddi gian g\u1ea7n \u0111\u00e2y. \u00a0 Th\u00e1ch th\u1ee9c t\u00e1o b\u1ea1o \u0103n c\u00f4n tr\u00f9ng \u0110\u1ec3 ti\u1ebft ki\u1ec7m chi ph\u00ed v\u00e0 thu h\u00fat s\u1ef1 quan t\u00e2m c\u1ee7a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[134],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-article"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6493"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18066,"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6493\/revisions\/18066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
