Hi Everyone,
Well, Friday Nov.18th has come and gone and your business plans are little more than working rough drafts. I know many of you were waiting for me to proofread your sections, but this is bonus help that really you shouldn't need. I am about ready to factor your business plan mark into your over all grade, which at this point would be a NHI (Not Handed In), which in effect, counts as a zero. This should have been done two weeks ago. This week we will be focusing on advertising, as well as finishing Ch.5, before moving on to Ch.9, marketing and promotion so you'll have to work out how to get the Business Plans done and handed in.
This week you should have your posters done, paper bought, and be ready to start putting them up around school this week. You also should start filming your commercial for MOTM. You also need to submit an electronic copy of your poster to me to put on the hallway TV's. If you would like a 'blurb' read on the daily announcements, you should start thinking about what you want to say, type it up and submit it to me. The Marketing and Sales department should be very busy this week, so much in fact, that all members of the company should have to help wherever they can!!
You need to be ready to start taking orders by Monday, Nov. 28th (that is one week from today), otherwise, you may not be able to break-even on your start-up costs!!!
You need to get organized and stay on task.
See you in class.
