In high school my economic class was assigned a group project to create a business proposal. Two of my best friends and I started an engagement company called "Velvet Box Co." We had to design a logo, slogan, website, social media accounts, business cards, engagement packages, and marketing and financial strategies. We also had to choose a physical building where our company would be established and research competitors in the area. We created five completely different engagement ideas in the Chicago area, including the exact fixed and variable costs. At the end of the quarter, we presented the business proposal in front of the class. This was one of the most challenging and complex projects I have ever been assigned, but it was also one of the most rewarding.
I enrolled into ENT 3003, because I hope to learn more about marketing and branding a company. Entrepreneurs need to know how to reach their target audience. As an event management minor, I plan on working closely with promoting my company's special events. I hope to apply the knowledge I learn in this course to my full-time job after graduation.
Here is a photo of the beginning slide to my economics presentation, which includes the logo and slogan of the company.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI actually loved reading your story. It was filled with interesting ideas such as different things that are needed to start a business and how you included costs to implement your idea in Chicago in your business proposal. I also think your logo that you made is very pretty. Overall, this was such an interesting post that seemed like a very fun project to do.
