This past week has been extremely focused on the storefront reject. I have been in charge of contacting others to get the most accurate numbers so we can write all financial statements (such as the P+L) most accurately. This job has been a bit difficult as most people don't have their electric bills in front of them when I call, or remember what they pay monthly for deep conditioners. While we are trying to move foreword on the project, I have also had to be patient because these salons have no incentive to help us so if they take a few days to get back and call in the middle of my math class, I have to accommodate them while making sure my group know that I am trying to get work done quickly and efficiently.

We also received our wristbands in the mail late this week! We are excited to begin promoting ad selling them as soon as possible. Our donation came from PromoBox, and our donor told us that she would be happy to help us advertise our product. We are excited to learn from her and see her ideas about promoting these wristbands. We are selling to YOG '15 and YOG '18 because we thin these groups are more likely to have the most school spirit. We have a great flier that will go all around the school as well as announcements on the loud speaker, and we will sell them at lunches. Hopefully people will be attracted to them but if not we will need to find ways to advertise and hopefully our donor can help. I am most worried because in my experience with baking, high school students aren’t a very dependable market. They tend to commit to purchasing, but last minute will flake out on you. I am curious to find out how our relationship with promobox will help, and how we can leverage our contacts in our own parts of the BHS community to get people to buy these and turn a profit with the project by the end of the second quarter.
