BIG THINGS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN!

We have sold enough of our balls to cover half of our cost in only 3 EFFORTS up until now! Our current revenue is $300 and growing. We are very optimistic about being able to sell the rest of our inventory. 


Anyone interested in buying JMU ping pong balls!?!?

DR. WALES WANTED AWESOME THIS WEEK!

As you all can tell, we had huge expectations this week from our professor.

Our ping pong balls are all finally printed, packaged, and ready for sale!!


Despite our limited marketing efforts, we managed to make a lot of SALES in a few hours in the showker lobby!

Here is some feedback we have gotten from people:

"“What do I win?”- Janitorial Lady in Showker


“Finally something interesting to buy!”- Frequent Showkerer

“I like this, its sweet!”- Someone who would buy our product if they had money at the time. (We will be seeing this person next Tuesday)



We plan to continue to sell in the Showker Lobby next Tuesday, November 16, 2010 from 11 am to 2 pm.


We have full confidence that next week with improved marketing as well as a for flexible schedule for our entire group, we will sell out in no time!

Anticipation Builds For the Release!

We decided on a single design for the balls, which was based off a survey we took in class a few weeks ago. This will be the design printed on all of our balls. Last week we placed our order for 1,000 balls. It was VERY expensive, but we our confident that with our Amazing business skills we will be able to sell out our entire inventory at our original price of $5 for 6 balls. We do have some alternative pricing plans as a back up, but we hope that it won't come down to that.


Once our balls arrive we will actively push our product both on and off campus. Our main goal is to sell our balls at tailgating events. As the football season draws closer to its finally we are anxiously waiting for our inventory to arrive so we can make the most of what little is left of the football season. We hope that having alumni and parents around who have more money than students will help us sell more than just targeting students. Also, adding tailgating.. activities in the mix should hopefully cause our market to be more receptive to buying our product.
