Market Day

What went well?

We worked together as a group very well. We all fulfilled what our roles indent and communicate with each other about the problems and obstacles that went in the way. During the market day, we managed to juggle in between jobs, although we didn’t expect the day to be as hectic as it is. We swapped roles when it comes to who frying the chips, heating up the cheese sauce or being outside the stall and collect customers. Our product sold out, so we didn’t have to worry about making up our profit.



What didn’t go well?

Since we didn’t have enough equipment, which is the lack of a portable stove, we had no other choice but to run back forth between the kitchen and the stall. We anticipated more time therefore not managing our time well. The fries to longer than expected, making the cheese harden when it’s ready, resulting in constantly keeping an eye for the sauce. Another thing that didn’t go well with the cheese is that after cooking the fries we instantly poured the cheese in and serving it on the table without any customers instantly buying it, cooling and hardening the cheese in the process.


What would you like to change?
If I had another chance of doing this, I would bring two portable stoves, so we didn’t have to tire our legs the whole 3 hours. Another thing I would like to change is how we connected to the customers, in order to lure more people into our product. I would also like to have bought more cheese so we wouldn’t have run out of the sauce and ended up having to put or products for sale.

Water Scarcity

What went well and why?
My group and I came up with ideas quickly and narrowed it down to make a filter for showers.

Why it didn't go well?
 Someone decided to not help in some parts of the group work and we had to force her to do work.

What would you do differently next time?
Come up with a more complex idea and think outside the box.

Why?
I feel like our idea wasn't as creative as I hope it would.

Business & Enterprise

Business & Enterprise

L.O: Run a profitable business.
S.C:

• Stick to a given budget
• Keep track of your spending choices
• Keep financial records

So far I think that I need to work on this L.O. We need to make our product quicker and organise how many we are going to produce to sell enough to make a profit. We did a moderate job on sticking to the budget however we weren't able to obtain the glue gun sticks because our budget wasn't enough.We kept track of our spending choices and search are needed materials online to get the estimated cost. Also we filled out our finnacial record and managed to finish it early.

What my company did so far.

We are selling picture frames made out of popsicle sticks but not just any ordinary popsicle stick, it's decorated with washi tapes. We finished all our paper work that we needed to do and did our advertisements. From the speed that we are making our products I think we have a chance on finishing and have enough product .

What's our next step?

To have enough production to make profit and packaged our prouduct well.

What you expect on Market Day?

I expect that we will atleast sell enough to make up for the $18.50.

Advertising- Ethos, Pathos, Logos.

Ethos:

Uses a famous/respected person to convince the buyer that it is a good product because we more likely to trust famous people.

They used a famous person (Kendall Jenner) for people to trust their product and get them into thinking itś good.

Pathos:
Way of persuading in a emotional way.

They showed pathos by trying to make people sad by showing what happens in a everday life to a person with cancer. 

Logo:

Uses factual/ Statistical stament and surveys to get the buyers to thinking it is real. Also use words that mean nothing but sound factual.

It is giving us a factual information by telling the viewers that it only take 30 seconds.














This ad used two ways of persuading. First, Ethos, they used a famous singer, Taylor Swift which convince people to buy coke so they will forget the fact that it´s unhealthy. Second Logos, they added Extraodinary which is nonsense but sound good.

This ad clearly uses pathos by having a picture of a dead bird so people would feel sorry for the animal so they will stop littering.
