Selling On Campus

Today we spent all morning selling doortags made by us and bracelets made by Tracy and the girls from D.I.V.A.S, as well as taking donations in a jar.

Tracy joined us and really got students who were passing by motivated to donate any change they had by coming up with the slogan, "Give change to make change." We also sold a couple of bracelets and even got a few orders for doortags. A group of students from another organization donated some change to us, as well as inviting us to sell doortags at their Talent Show event later in the evening.

When we finished and counted our money, we were pleasantly surprised at the amount we earned with donations alone. We didn't get as many doortag orders as we would've hoped but we are optimistic about the future since students are now aware of our presence on campus. Hopefully, they won't be caught off guard next time they see us.

Since the invite to the talent show wasn't expected, only one of our members was able to go and promote our doortags. It was a really good opportunity to bring awareness about our business and to D.I.V.A.S, but unfortunately we didn't any orders that evening. A few people signed up for more information on an emailing list which will help keep their interest in our doortags for the future.

Annoucement!

In the process

Got together at Brittani's house to make new doortags. Most of our signs looks like for girls but we got it down with some ideas that are unisex and for guys to have on their door too. Getting ready to pre-sell/sell Friday March 26th at The University of Texas at San Antonio 1604 Campus.

Getting down to business

Hanging out with the D.I.V.A.'s & D.I.T.'s

Brittani, Christina, Stephanie, Melissa, and Monica went to Tracy's home to meet the girls and help them make their bracelets. We help the girls tips in tricks in making the bracelets and brainstorm in different design to make. We also learn about the organization and what it means to be a D.I.V.A.

Reading Assignment

Our group's assigned book, Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World's Problems by Michael Strong and John Mackey, gave us a better idea of how capitalism can improve not only on an individual level but also on a global level. It displays Entrepreneurs in a positive light and gives us many examples of how capitalism has helped to create a world where people can have the right to make money while contributing to society. The book emphasizes that by harnessing the power to create a market to help those in need, we can benefit all who are involved both directly and indirectly. Another important aspect is that in order to become an entrepreneur, one must be willing to take risks and have the strength to follow through, which also helps that individual grow as a person. Having read this novel, we are now more aware of the positive impact our endeavors will make for the girls of D.I.V.A.s. Our hope is to use the information to make this business as successful as possible by improving ourselves and the lives of these young women through capitalism.

Class opinion on product

Links of Life presented to the class about the product being sold and the progress made to start-up the business. The consumer target will be selling beaded jewelry to ladies and young girls and decorative door tags to college students. Our colleagues critiqued and gave ideas on how we can sell and make our products. For example was focus on making 3-5 different door tags templates and just personalized with the buyer's name.

Brittani and Melissa met with Tracy on Friday to talk about the items to made and sold. So far, it was decided to teach the girls to make beaded jewelry on Saturday, March 13.
