Give your company a name and explain why the name is one that will work for your business.

Begin research on your competition.

Complete some research on how to do an info graphic on your business.

REMINDER TO ALL, I AM MARKING YOUR INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE GROUP. EACH INDIVIDUAL WILL BE MARKED ON THEIR PART OF THE BUSINESS PLAN AND THE WORK THEY COMPLETED. EVERYBODY'S MARK WILL BE DIFFERENT. WE WILL BE FINISHED SELLING AS OF WED DEC 18. NO MORE SALES WILL TAKE PLACE AFTER THIS TIME. AS A BUSINESS YOU WILL HAVE TO ADAPT IF SALES ARE POOR...THINK BUNDLING AND PROMOTIONS

Group #1 (Calum, Kalen, Lena, Matteo)

As a whole group, decide on a name for your business and an idea for a logo. Make sure you know when you are selling next and the promotions people do their part to create some hype around the sales of your product.

Calum:set-up and print out and complete sales and inventory sheets, begin researching how to do an infographic for your business.

Matteo and Lena:Begin working on the mission statement and the objectives of the business.

Make sure your surveys ( all 10 of them) have been filled out, Analyze your results, what information did you discover from your survey?

Kalen: You should type up the cookie recipe and begin doing a poster/announcement for your next day of sales. A copy of the poster should be kept for your final report.

Group #2 ( Gage, Antonia, Ben B, Antonia, Cassie, Jacob)

As a whole group, decide on a name for your business and an idea for a logo. Make sure you know when you are selling next and the promotions people do their part to create some hype around the sales of your product. What is your plan B if candy bag sales are poor? Only selling on Fridays may be limiting....get creative on how and where you can sell. 

Gage: Determine who will be selling on Friday and where. May I suggest your whole group sells in various locations ( especially where the grade 8's hang out) You have a lot of work to do around figuring out your product costs and quantities. Candy bags should be made up no later than tomorrow if you are selling on Fri. CASH BOX with float??? needs to be arranged

Antonia:You need to create and print out inventory and sales sheets for Friday.CASH BOX with float??? needs to be arranged. You are ultimately in charge of the money. Make sure you organize the receipts for items purchase. Work with Gage to determine a price for your product.

Ben B:Get a start on typing up your business's mission statement and objectives.

Cassie :present the survey results and findings to your group. Use this information to make some decisions around sales.

Jacob:Create a poster to put up around the school to sell your product. This poster should look professional and should be included in the final report. Toether Cassie and Jacob should work through the marketing plan step by step.

Group #3 ( Loreli, Lea, Ben H, Justin, Olivia)

As a whole group, decide on a name for your business and an idea for a logo. Make sure you know when you are selling next ( give each person a schedue) and the promotions people do their part to create some hype around the sales of your product. Also I feel that batches of 24-30 cookies is a seer amount so you do not have any that go stale.

Ben H: You need to begin to lead your group more. Call a meeting with your group to complete the above things as well as discuss how the group is working and when the group is selling and baking next. You need to have a schedule and people need to make sure they are fulfilling their jobs. One or two people should not be doing all of the work. Are you going to go to teachers with order forms? If so Ben, you need to create these forms and drop them off to key teachers. Also take photos of cookies.The recipes for the cookies should all be printed out and put into your final report.

Justin and Olivia: You need to create a poster for advertising the cookies, also put in announcements for next week to the office. You can both begin to look at how to do an infographic because you will both be responsible for creating one for your business ( each of you will produce one) USE YOUR CLASS TIME PRODUCTIVELY! NO PHONE!

Lea: Your group's survey needs to be handed out to 10 people and you need to keep all of the copies and begin analyzing the data. One thought I had is since you all made cookies, do you think there was a cookie that stood out as the best cookie in the bunch and maybe you all use that recipe to create your next batch, maybe make them after school as a group. Possibly discuss this idea.

Loreli: You should create, print and complete the inventory and sales sheets for your group.

Group #4 ( Hui, Rowan, Gracie, Max, Drew)

As a whole group, decide on a name for your business and an idea for a logo. Make sure you know when you are selling next and the promotions people do their part to create some hype around the sales of your product. Determine who and how they will be selling the guesses.

Hui:Get a start on creating the sales and inventory sheets, also look into how to do an infographic

Gracie:The new candies are on my desk, go to the office to get plastic gloves and count them into the jar, seal the jar with tape and keep your number secret.

Rowan: Type and cut more guess sheets, maybe 2 more sheets, get the margarine tub from my room and cover it to look good with paper and cut a hole in the lid, you can probably keep the guess sheets and the money in there.

Max: Begin typing up the description of the business, mission statement and objectives.

Drew: Complete another poster to advertise your candy guess, distribute around the school in key area, highlight the $20 gift card plus the candy. You could maybe print a few in colour in my back room. Also do some research on how to do an infographic for your business. Reminder you still have Nestle and Lululemon due.
