Week in Review (1/4/15-1/11/15)

We had an extremely hectic week coming off of Winter Break. We hit the ground running by organizing two events to sell stickers at this week. We also had time to reflect on our storefront project, and make the necessary adjustments to the store plan before sending it to David Gladstone. Overall, we are all working diligently to make both projects succeed.

We have been very successful in our sticker project. All of us are having people coming up to us, asking to by one of the #warriors stickers. This week we progressed from selling stickers one-on-one to selling them at two prime school-organized events. On Thursday night, all of us stayed after school and waited for the PTO organized event on stress for Junior parents. We setup a table in-front of the MLK Room and advertised our stickers to parents passing by. We even got Ms. Holman to buy three! Junior parents were both impressed and interested in the work that we are doing in C4E. Many wanted to support our small business and bought the stickers. By the end of the night we sold around fifteen stickers.

On Friday night, Alua and Lindsey attended the basketball game being hosted in the gym. We have consistently stated that our true target market for the stickers are the Superfans. Alua and Lindsey went around the bleachers and worked hard to sell stickers to fans at the game. I had to attend an event for China Exchange, and brought a few stickers along. Unfortunately, few people had money on them and so I was unable to sell any stickers. Many parents were very interested in the class and the work that we were accomplishing. Overall, we are very happy with the selling that we were able to do in the past week.

On the storefront project, we made progress in compiling all the parts into one document. The vacation gave us all a bit of time to reflect on the goals we had for this project, and so when we returned from break we tweaked the different parts to get a solid, cohesive plan for the storefront. Lindsey and I worked hard Thursday morning to create a cover letter, and all of us were able to compile all the documents into one document with a table of contents. We hope that Mr. Gladstone will be able to give us useful tips and advise for the project heading into the future.

We are looking forward to continuing the work that we have started in the class. As the sticker project is coming to an end, all of us will be reflecting on the work that we did, and using the skills we learned to continue our studies in the class.
