00:00:01So that's why this location was chosen for this reason. It's beautiful. Who are your most prominent
00:00:05customers today? Who are the most frequent visitors to your coffee shops?
00:00:11of swelling in the The beautiful thing about it is the diversity. As we mentioned, we have diversity in
00:00:14it is accompanied by heat in services, so it's natural that it creates diversity in customer
00:00:16segments. We don't just have, for example, in the workshop
00:00:19room, most of the time it's naturally either teachers who give private
00:00:23lessons, or we have, for example, those with accredited
00:00:26training certificates. This gives them
00:00:34as cartilage erosion, So how do you maintain your competitiveness in the studio as well. Recently, especially during the summer, people
00:00:37الاخيرا ان شاء الله خاصه فتره الصيف الناس
00:00:39but it's not necessarily joint inflammation. have a lot of free time because of summer vacations. So, we've been very active.
00:00:43We've hosted photoshoots
00:00:46for all categories of people, girls, boutiques. We've even hosted
00:00:50makeup session photoshoots here with us.
00:00:53Private family parties are the same. We've hosted
00:00:56podcast photoshoots. So the diversity
00:00:59within the place, in its entirety, is what naturally creates
00:01:02diversity in customer segments. Beautiful. Asmaa, let's talk about a very important point. Projects
00:01:06like these need constant and continuous marketing.
00:01:09What is your current marketing method for this
00:01:12project? And actually, to be honest, this is one
00:01:16of the biggest challenges we currently face because, as you can see, there is great
00:01:20diversity in the places or facilities
00:01:23available with us here.
00:01:25hummus stew with So each category targets a different segment and markets it in a different
00:01:28way. Currently, we are present on social media platforms, on
00:01:32Instagram. We are now opening on LinkedIn because this is very
00:01:36important for companies and institutions. We will be available on
00:01:39LinkedIn soon, God willing, and we also rely on
00:01:42WhatsApp at this stage. However, we are working
00:01:46intensively on advertisements, including sponsored ads on
00:01:49Instagram. This is the most effective way we are currently using, but I have come
00:01:52to a conclusion, to be honest, that word of
00:01:55mouth is the most effective way to market such projects.
00:01:58So, the visitor who comes, I must make them satisfied with the service so that they
00:02:02leave and talk positively about me. They will bring their colleague, their friend,
00:02:06their brother, and thus the customer base will grow, because marketing is not
00:02:11is there a difference in for training, exactly. One of always about me filming reels or posting to convey the picture correctly.
00:02:15The person might come and see it, but they don't understand the place, the size of the place isn't
00:02:18into an interactive whiteboard, because this reflected by a camera lens, right? So this is the
00:02:21current method we are working on, but I still aspire
00:02:26discussion space, the to utilize channels through networking,
00:02:28inflammation, but genetic predisposition meaning with institutions, with
00:02:30of early diagnosis and identifying companies. This is what will expand my customer base, exactly. So you can partner
00:02:34with certain institutions, partner with other institutions. In this
00:02:38physical activity, maintaining way, we need to reach them so they know about us, and based on that, from there,
00:02:41we will start expanding more and more. Excellent. One of the most important services that
00:02:45you provide today is the studio,
00:02:47of joints is not limited to and the fact that there's an integrated operation, the presence of a photographer, the presence of lighting. This is a service
00:02:51that many people are looking for today, and many business
00:02:54owners. Let's see the details of this studio
00:02:58and what are the most important things you offer there.
00:03:16think it's logical
00:03:20Mashallah, Asmaa, all these equipments, these lights, and this
00:03:24studio of this size needs someone to operate it. How do you manage
00:03:28to operate it well?
00:03:32This is one of the things we excelled at. We don't just operate the project
00:03:35as a space, but also provide opportunities for Omani youth. We opened an opportunity in the past
00:03:39for young people who would like to join us for photography,
00:03:43little while ago, it sheds light on
00:03:43are more as a male or female photographer.
00:03:44many And they benefit, and we operate the studio for freelancers,
00:03:47for freelancers, exactly. Yes. So we currently have male
00:03:51and female photographers
00:03:55due to the pain and stiffness segments and stories that that can also affect for all uses, for all purposes in the studio, whether it's podcast photography, or reel
00:03:57sessions, or photography of, for example,
00:04:00models, or private parties, or products, or
00:04:05with Chef Issa. Good morning, Chef. products, and so on. Everything is done through
00:04:07wants to order it while they are in their our photographers, or if the person wants to bring their own photographer
00:04:09with them. So, today, today, as a customer,
00:04:13the kitchen. Thank you very much. Thank I can come and tell you that I need a photoshoot
00:04:16for a specific thing, and you give me a list of photographers, or do you
00:04:19provide them for me? We give him the list of available photographers.
00:04:24disease, especially The photographer might not be available at that time, so we say,
00:04:26taking longer to "These are the photographers, and these are their profiles or their accounts on Instagram. Check out their work." Yes,
00:04:31whoever suits him. We don't,
00:04:35morning. Of course, I thank you for all the profit, the coordination, and all the profit goes directly to the photographer. We don't
00:04:37osteoarthritis take anything. Excellent. So you've opened a door for young people to earn a living as well, right? Exactly. Our goal
00:04:40is to turn this place into an incubator for entrepreneurs, whether this person
00:04:47the pressure on the times in the benefits through our spaces or creates a job for themselves in this place. Excellent. So tell us, Asmaa, about the corners
00:04:53helps in celery. Yes, we will definitely and themes available in this studio. For example, we have
00:04:55but first, before drinking this this theme, which we usually use for podcast photography, whether it's for two people or a group of people, even
00:05:00for filming episodes, if people are interested in this aspect. We have
00:05:03the plain backgrounds that are here. The purpose of this is that some people like to photograph
00:05:07with plain backgrounds. We created
00:05:11there is weakness in the themes here for the Eid period. This location
00:05:14was active with us during the Eid period for events. Yes, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha.
00:05:18So here also, the theme, the last theme we made was for Eid
00:05:21al-Fitr, so for Eid al-Adha as well. So these
00:05:25themes here are intended to provide, especially
00:05:28for example, this corner, it's a baby corner because it's a bit low. We took into account that
00:05:32babies need a lower height. So we tried to provide all themes for all
00:05:36needs inside the studio. Okay, how do you maintain competitiveness?
00:05:40I see that your prices, mashallah, as they say,
00:05:43are affordable for everyone.
00:05:46the market? Also, when we talk about the income
00:05:50in general for any project, it's either driven
00:05:54by value or volume. This is generally speaking.
00:05:57So, one might expect it to be very premium. Our place is very
00:06:01premium, but our approach, or our way
00:06:04of working, is based on volume. So we try
00:06:07to increase our sales volume by increasing
00:06:10the number of our customers. However, our prices are reasonable compared
00:06:14to others. Some people work on the basis that they are premium, so they raise their prices,
00:06:17and they settle for fewer customers. This is
00:06:21what makes us attract a larger number of customers, even though we opened a
00:06:25short while ago, but mashallah, the place is busy. You see, before you were
00:06:28here, we had a three-hour photo shoot booking. After we finish here, there will be another
00:06:32booking for three or two hours. So the place is busy
00:06:36by the hour, and each hour is at a reasonable
00:06:39price, but it works this way. Excellent. Operations are continuous.
00:06:47The workshop and training room. We have two models for them
00:06:50with two different capacities. One of them accommodates eight
00:06:54people, and it's mostly used by teachers for private
00:06:57lessons. This is a model of the large workshop rooms.
00:07:00It accommodates up to 24 attendees. What
00:07:04distinguishes it is that it has an interactive smart screen,
00:07:07as well as the flexibility available within it. Today, a customer might say, "I want it in a U-shape." Another customer tomorrow
00:07:11شيف الكستمر اخر بكره
00:07:16might want a different shape. We can apply it in this room according to the client's needs, and it's equipped
00:07:20with all the services required
00:07:23the things we were keen to provide in the workshop room in particular is a smart
00:07:27touch screen that can even be converted
00:07:31has become very much in demand, especially among teachers,
00:07:34private teachers. So they can use these
00:07:38rooms flexibly and use them
00:07:41for teaching and training purposes. Yes, the screen is like a computer and also
00:07:45a whiteboard at the same time. Excellent.
00:07:46Very
00:07:54good. This is a model of individual rooms or
00:07:57offices that we provided. They are mostly used by
00:08:01entrepreneurs, by students, by
00:08:03university students, and also by school students. It's nice that a computer is also
00:08:07available. We've provided office tools in it, like the screen, mouse,
00:08:11keyboard. Of course, I'd like to emphasize that we chose
00:08:14the furniture here carefully because people here want to sit for the longest possible time with the least
00:08:18health harm. So all our chairs are ergonomic and comfortable, not just
00:08:22comfortable, but also ergonomic. This is another model for individual offices,
00:08:26but it's different from the model we saw earlier, because these are
00:08:29what we call semi-private spaces. They have privacy, but they are not
00:08:33fully enclosed, because not everyone likes to work in enclosed spaces. Good. Also, these
00:08:37are for a fee. Yes, a symbolic fee, not
00:08:40very high, because our goal is to match the budget of the student, or job
00:08:44seeker, or freelancer in general. Yes. So, how do
00:08:47you handle bookings? Do you handle them manually
00:08:51or do you have an electronic
00:08:54booking system
00:08:57for the bookings you receive? Previously, when
00:09:00we launched the project, we had a booking system, but we encountered some
00:09:03technical problems, so we stopped it and temporarily switched to
00:09:07WhatsApp, meaning until we improve the quality of the system. And God
00:09:10willing, within the next two weeks, a new system will be available, and it will
00:09:14be through the booking system. Even the coffee, if a person
00:09:19car, they can order it through the application and pick it up
00:09:22at the car. Yes. So what is the importance of automation in managing and operating
00:09:26such projects? Automation is very important, honestly,
00:09:30given that I am basically an employee and not 100% dedicated to the business.
00:09:33So automation solves problems of quality, problems of
00:09:39respond to customers, and so on. Automation
00:09:42is very essential. There must be a system, two separate systems. We're talking about
00:09:46a booking system plus a system for managing the cafe itself.
00:09:50So this will hopefully be available soon, God willing. So as a customer,
00:09:53I can log into a specific application and see, for example, the available
00:09:58studio or in the meeting rooms, exactly, without
00:10:01having to contact you directly, exactly. In the future, there will be no contact via
00:10:05WhatsApp, except in the case of inquiries not
00:10:07answered by the website itself. And God willing, this will not
00:10:11be the case, meaning that there will be no inquiry that cannot be answered
00:10:14by the website. Our goal is for the browser to go to
00:10:18our website and order everything they want from there, whether they want
00:10:21to book a table, book a meeting room, or book.
00:11:26Go ahead, Mr. Ahmed. Thank you very much. We truly thank you.

00:22:07Also, viewers, we start with an important
00:22:10report, which talks about the 12th, which is
00:22:14World Arthritis Day. This day, viewers,
00:22:17aims to raise awareness about the importance of early diagnosis
00:22:21and finding the appropriate treatment for this disease
00:22:24and also providing support to patients. More details
00:22:28will be presented in the upcoming report. Let's watch it together.
00:22:47Joint pain is one of the health problems that
00:22:51can affect the quality of life and limit a person's
00:22:54ability to perform daily activities easily.
00:22:57Joint pain results from multiple
00:23:01causes, including inflammation, osteoarthritis,
00:23:04and injuries.
00:23:05The
00:23:12World Arthritis Day is an opportunity
00:23:16to raise awareness about the importance
00:23:20symptoms that require a doctor's visit,
00:23:23in addition to emphasizing the role of appropriate
00:23:28a healthy weight, and following a balanced lifestyle
00:23:32in supporting joint health. Taking care
00:23:37treatment when pain is felt, but rather begins
00:23:40with prevention and health care, because movement
00:23:44is an essential part of our daily lives, and maintaining
00:23:47it means a more active
00:23:57and independent life. In conclusion, awareness of joint health
00:24:00is an important step towards better movement
00:24:04and a more comfortable and active life.
00:24:27So, viewers, through the report that
00:24:30we watched together a
00:24:34inflammations, specifically joint
00:24:37inflammations, which are considered among the health problems
00:24:42movement and quality of life
00:24:45they cause, and the difficulty in performing
00:24:48some activities. And with World
00:24:52Arthritis Day, we shed light on the importance
00:24:55of awareness of the symptoms of these conditions, and also methods of
00:24:59early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, and the role
00:25:02of a healthy lifestyle in maintaining joint health
00:25:06and also limiting the impact of this disease.
00:25:09For more information, we have
00:25:12Dr. Tariq bin Abdullah Al-Fana Al-Areimi, Senior Consultant
00:25:15in Rheumatology and Internal Medicine at the Royal Hospital.
00:25:18Dr. Tariq is with us in the studio. Welcome. Good
00:25:21morning. Welcome. Good
00:25:25hosting us and for giving us this opportunity to shed
00:25:28light on a group of important diseases.
00:25:32Of course, estimates indicate that 1.7
00:25:34billion people worldwide suffer from
00:25:38joint problems, bone problems, and
00:25:41skeletal problems. And under these
00:25:44problems come joint inflammations. Yes, Doctor, first,
00:25:48define for us what joint inflammation means, because
00:25:52sometimes there is a misunderstanding of its concept.
00:25:55Sometimes people think it is an infection, sometimes they think
00:26:01bones. So let's give a simple explanation to the viewer
00:26:04of what joint inflammation means.
00:26:07Of course, joint inflammation is an actual
00:26:10inflammation in the form
00:26:13joint, and sometimes
00:26:16the joint, as well as stiffness, the feeling
00:26:19of stiffness. It usually occurs in the joint lining and joint
00:26:23membranes. So this is joint inflammation. Of course, there is
00:26:26confusion between joint inflammation and osteoarthritis.
00:26:29Osteoarthritis is different. It is mostly
00:26:33what I can describe
00:26:37which results in pain. There might be swelling,
00:26:42Good. So, Doctor, you
00:26:45just mentioned the symptoms, including difficulty moving
00:26:49the fingers, swelling. Sometimes people
00:26:53go to the doctor and
00:26:55the examinations show that their condition is,
00:26:59thank God, good, right?
00:27:03But they continue to experience pain, they continue to feel
00:27:06swelling. In this case, how is this condition
00:27:10assessed? Of course, diagnosis depends
00:27:14on certain pillars. These pillars include
00:27:17medical history and physical examination,
00:27:21as well as blood tests.
00:27:24Joint diseases may not be
00:27:27chronic. They could be due to a viral infection for a temporary period,
00:27:30or they could be chronic. Of course,
00:27:34when they are chronic, usually there are diseases,
00:27:38a group of specific diseases that we, as rheumatologists,
00:27:40diagnose and treat.
00:27:42Of course, discovering and diagnosing
00:27:45them early is important
00:27:48because chronic joint inflammation, if left
00:27:52untreated, can lead to joint damage. Yes,
00:27:55Doctor, what are the causes that lead us to
00:27:58joint inflammation? Is it lifestyle? Is it
00:28:02excess weight? Is it the nature of the foods we
00:28:05eat that leads to joint inflammation, or
00:28:09is it old age? Also,
00:28:14age? Age may not be
00:28:17one of the factors, but
00:28:20of course, theories indicate that these patients always
00:28:24have a genetic predisposition. They may have
00:28:27genes associated with joint
00:28:30alone is not
00:28:33enough to cause the disease. There are other
00:28:36things that can lead to the disease, such as certain
00:28:40lifestyles, for example.
00:28:43You also have environmental factors,
00:28:46for example, exposure to a virus, for example, or
00:28:48pollution, and even smoking can
00:28:52increase the likelihood of joint
00:28:56inflammation. Yes, clear.
00:28:58Okay, Doctor, now some
00:29:01patients are afraid to move too much,
00:29:04fearing that the pain will increase. In this case, Doctor,
00:29:08what do you advise them regarding the amount of rest,
00:29:11movement, and activity? I mean, surely
00:29:15patients, I don't
00:29:19for them to abandon their social
00:29:22and professional lives because of joint
00:29:25inflammation. Well, that's a good
00:29:29question. It depends on the type of
00:29:33joint inflammation. I will briefly discuss the types of joint inflammation.
00:29:37The common types we know are rheumatoid
00:29:41arthritis, which results from inflammation and increased
00:29:44activity of the autoimmune system. Of course,
00:29:48this particular type requires treatment, which usually
00:29:51reduces inflammation, and there are many medications
00:29:54we can use to control the disease's activity.
00:29:58Physical activity is recommended for these
00:30:01diseases, especially when they are not very active,
00:30:04because activity reduces the symptoms of
00:30:07stiffness. There are other types such as psoriatic
00:30:11arthritis. You have gouty
00:30:14arthritis. This also can
00:30:17be treated with physical activity during periods of no
00:30:21severe inflammation. During severe inflammation, it is preferable to
00:30:25control the
00:30:27these flare-ups. When we talk about another type of
00:30:30joint problem, which is, for example, osteoarthritis, the basic
00:30:34pillar in treating these types of
00:30:39is encouraging
00:30:43muscle strengthening and physical activity to strengthen
00:30:46the muscles around the joint so that
00:30:49joint is reduced. Physical therapy
00:30:53sometimes coping
00:30:56with osteoarthritis.
