Starting a Small Business

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

Lorelai is sitting on top of her desk again when the students enter.

"Okay gang, this is our last class and tonight your final projects are due."


[ooc: here's how I'm grading... if everyone in your group comments that you turned in something, you all get Bs. if you actually *did* some type of work, you all get As. I realize there's way too much other stuff going on to expect you to do extra work.]

Turn in your Final Project

*everyone* in a group must comment for that group to get credit.

Han Solo & Charlie Kawalsky's import/export business advertising proposal.

Because we have a low starting budget, and most of that budget money has to go into actually running the business, the advertising campaign for our import/export business will mostly be a guerilla campaign. We will utilize personal and professional contacts from all participants in the business, including all employees and suppliers, to spread the word. This will be done through minimum wage employees using sandwich boards and flyers in high traffic areas. We will also hire employees on a contract basis to frequent certain key places to promote the business through word of mouth and to connect with customers.

Low-key is the word. As the business grows, we can expand into the occasional holo-projection or laser ad.

Paige hands in a questionnaire she made for market research purposes, with questions on what food types would be most popular and how much money people would be willing to spend.

There are also suggestions for how to promote the business, such as doing free catering for certain events to get the name known and a free tasting session so people who might be looking for a caterer can sample Piper's cooking before booking us so they know what to expect.

She's also made some samples of business cards to leave for potential customers once they've already had a booking.

Allie gives Lisa the part of the project she worked on so Lisa can add it to her stuff to turn in.
