Class Post 2

This week during Communications for Entrepreneurs, my team and I didn’t have a breakthrough week with ideas but nonetheless it was a productive week. The two hundred dollar project was put on hold in anticipation of the calendars arriving. On Thursday we came back to it to put together the posters for advertising the calendars. During class on Thursday, we distributed these posters across the school to get the word out that the calendars had arrived. The posters made the price, theme and where to purchase the calendars very clear to anyone reading them. The calendars came on Friday morning and we started selling them during school on Friday. We not only used the posters to advertise, but we all made our snap chat story a picture of the calendars. We also organized an announcement to be made about the calendars for the coming week.

The rest of the week during class we focused on the storefront project. We moved on to parts four through six and began to think about the financial aspect of the storefront. We calculated we would be making $1700 a month for the Foam Home. We also created a blue print of the space that is available to us. This will allow us to visualize and create the environment we are looking for virtually before taking it to the next level. We are in debate as a group on where certain things will go and will finalize our blue print by the end of the coming week. We want to make it as similar to a home environment as possible for kids who are coming to study, and using a blue print allows us to figure out how we can create that environment. Overall, the Foam Home is coming along nicely and I am excited to keep working on it.
