Hello to all~! This is Melissa here kicking off the "Which candy would YOU like to sell?" post.
As I mentioned in the email, right now our main focus is raising money. Like many, many, many people, we were quick to realize that chocolate the way to win the support of the masses.
The way this post should work is simple.
Post the link to a website that you think we should use. Say why that company is a good choice for us. There has to be some kind of special benefit that they offer that they think makes them better than every other company. Our goal is to find which one is right.
When doing this, keep some things in mind.
- Buying cost.
- Selling price.
- Possible profit.
- Aesthetics. Would YOU buy it?
I'm going to post an example after I finish writing this. I might list some pros and cons of my chosen site, but you don't have to unless you've noticed anything in particular that stands out. I encourage you all to respond to each other, and pay attention, because we're going to vote on which site to buy from at the meeting after the one this Thursday.
I hope you're all ready to become first-class salesmen!

ReplyDeletePros:
-> $1 selling price. It's an easy donation for most grocery-store-goers.
-> We can buy them by the container. If the first 100 sell well, we can buy more cases. That way we aren't stuck with 5 billion candy bars because it was the minimum.
-> Free shipping.
-> They're patriotic? We could make some cool posters to ~support our nation~ and its children with Be A Star.
Cons:
-> They don't look very nice. The flavors sound decent, but they look like something you'd get as a FREE GIFT from a donation, and people might be used to walking by stands like that.
-> IT'S $100 A CASE. That's a fifth of what we've already made so far. It's kind of risky.
Don't worry, Melissa. At leats it's a good start. I'll think of something.
ReplyDeleteWell, uh, while you're thinking, go find some fundraisers~! ^_^
