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.
