Since I last posted, a lot has changed in both of our class projects. The calendar sales are on a steady rise since before break. We made even the last day before break and have paid off all of our investors. That means that ever time we sell a calendar it goes straight to profit. At the moment, are almost $50 in profit, and are on average selling 2 calendars per day. While we still have more than 50 calendars to sell, I know that for the next month or two, we will slowly sell each unit. We also made the decision to sell them at $10 per unit to students, but are still selling them at $15 to parents. This was mainly done to sell more calendars faster while still making as much money. I have also tried to contact the school store to sell our product through a third party. My future plan to sell the remaining calendars is to also contact the booster clubs for all of the sports teams at BHS. For example, if I could get Friends of Brookline Soccer to buy ten and sell them to parents, if would be a very fast way to distribute our product.
Besides selling calendars, I have also been very busy creating the document to send to Mr. Gladstone for the Storefront project. I took all of the documents that had been typed up and created one formatted document that looked much better. I also had to take some of the excel documents JC had made and reformatted them so they were easy to read. I also designed the Table of Contents and a cover page. By using the sample as a goal, I was able to make our document look professional so that Mr. Gladstone would not be confused by an incomplete, confusing document. Now that I have finished this document, I will begin to work on the remaining projects due for the this quarter.
Great work this past week. Be thinking about an endgame for the calendars. The goal is to sell all that you have, so be thinking about how low you'll have to go to get them sold (and how you can sell them at low prices). Having left-over product won't help anyone, so be flexible about your price point.
