Winter Marketing Reflection

For the Winter Market I sold soaps. I worked by myself to make my sale happen. I did this idea because I already had experience in the soap making business due to the fact that I did it last year for my fair. Something that was also important to my business was the display, I spent lots of time making sure that the display was perfect

 

Math definitely became apparent concept in this marketing experience. I used to math to reach my goal because I was able to count up all my money and make sure every dollar counted. I needed to change the way my display was setup up due to theft on the first day, I had to move my products closer to where I was standing. I expected it to be quite a bit longer, because I realized that the time went so fast throughout the days of the sale.

 

I learned that I need to be more social during the sales to draw in more customers. I learnt it because I noticed a lot people looked at my table but walked away, after the sale I realized that I could’ve easily turned them around to sell more product. This matters because I could’ve made more sales but instead I lost some sales. I could’ve called more people over and been more social to fix this problem during this sale

 

Core Competency Reflection – creative thinking

I was able to go to the dollar store and figure out some pretty simple things and make it look great, just like my display tree. I can come up with new ideas. I can come up with new ideas

Favourite Picture

See the source image

I chose this picture because as I said I really enjoy cars, but I chose this particular car (1989 Ferrari F40 Competizione) because this has been one of my dream cars for a while. I also picked this car because after I got into cars this car was the first-ever hot wheel that I  got as a child.

Favourite Video

This is my favourite video for many reasons. Reason number 1, the day this first came out I remember being really bored and not really knowing what to do, so I was watching TV with my dad and he showed me this video, I really enjoyed watching it. One of the biggest reasons I remember this video is because this is what got me into liking cars and watching more car videos. I continue to enjoy this video to this very day, even though there are many other films he has made over time, this is still my favourite one. That is why I chose this video for my blog.

Favourite Quote

“Hard work beat talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Tim Tebow

I like this quote because this is the quote I always stand by it when I’m playing sports, when I’m doing my schoolwork, and during life in general. This quote was taught to me by my grade 7 teacher, and the quote was taught to her from a former student who is now an NHL star, Matthew Barzal. Those are the reasons that this is my favourite quote.
