B283 week 4

My imagination has had lots of fun planning my “Big Idea” business. I won’t actually be able to get started on it for a couple more years (until I get done with school), but having to write down a business plan makes it seem more real. I think that my plan is great, but I’m afraid that only the realty part of it will actually have very much business. There are a whole lot of elderly people who are in our town, however, the question remains as to whether the heirs will actually hire me to handle it for them. I’m optimistic that they will.

The $100 challenge is also coming along. I’ve decided on what I will sell(popcorn balls, rice crispy treats, cookies) and how I will package them(in plastic wrap). I’m opting for the least expensive and time consuming options to allow for a higher profit margin. I have also planned to have music playing to draw attention to the stand and a large sign to have in front or have my “helpers” hold. Advertising also includes placing an announcement in the paper and online sites telling of my project. The town is very supportive of “good causes” and I think it will have a good turn out throughout the weeks.
