Welcome to another exciting time of our Unique Highlights!
Today, be stun by many new discoveries and reveals some basic tips for a business.
Warning: Post is long. Read at your own risk. (Will help your English though)
SO, what does Food and Fun Fair Carnival means to you?
For Class 5/2, we were Unique. Let me fill you in with some details so bucker up your seatbelts!
Warning: Details may prove too strong for some. Only for the Prounders.
It is my previlage and honour to say that the Carnival was a success! Credits goes to many teachers In-Charge. (Sorry but there are too many teachers to name them)
Now closer to home, 5/2 set up a double duel challenge for the masses consisting a throwing challenge, blowing out the candles (thinking dirty?) and not forgeting the many glittery prizes.
Let's give the In-Charge, not in any particular order, a good pat on the shoulder. 1) Alvin Tay Zhi Yuan 2) Huang JieXiang
A comment by JieXiang: Firstly, I would like to thank Valarie, Alvin, Yong Kang, Emily and Jershon especially. They were really helpful as they guide me through this event. I dare not say it is a person efforts. I also appreciate the efforts and help given by the class and teachers.:) Really had been a great experience as the organiser of the class stall. Still i would like to thank everyone that has put in effort to help to make our stall sucessful during the family day carnival dated (2/8/08) have a good day guys :).
They really deserved this glorious moment where people are cheering on for them! Working through hours of preparation and planning.
Of course not leaving out anyone who has one way or another helped for the Carnival Stall! This joyful and delirious event must be remembered by many!
It was a mighty Success!
Some Pictures we have taken! Finally! Tribute to Valarie. This is our Game stall! Everyone is busy with the stall. Zheng Yi is busy looking at something; girls perhaps. (Joking la) Mr Lau! He took up the challenge! Woo, it must be very windy there! So... let's see. 1, 2, 3... 8 candles! A new record! Also, a surprising appearance from Mr. Yuan! Photos! With Gao Han in there, it will be vaulable in the near future. 0.0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Right! When you think it's over, welcome to the next chapter of the post. The Big Bang. Where creation starts.
How do you host a food/game stall?
The number one skill needed here is Leadership. We need support from the people. We need commitment and disciple for ourselves. We need to be clear and precise in our instructions.
We need a lot more from ourselves.
Some of you must be feeling discouraged. You say, "I am not a leader le...".
But the Committee assurringly says," You are one already".
I will not go to that. So out of point... Social Studies essay you will get a fail! >.< I will use Class 5/2 game challenge as an example Imagine this as a interview.
Committee: What is your budget?
Planner (in a British accent): Oo around $40.
Committee (Laughing): How do you get such an amount?
Planner (Laughing back): From the rubbish dump!
That was just a lame joke... you thought it would be real didn't ya?
Alright jokes aside. (An U.F.O flew past and I waved at them)
Your budget must look sensible so that your authority can sponser it. It will be terrible when you say you need $10000 for the stall. It is just nonsense!
In the case of Alvin and Jiexiang, they asked for contribution from the class.
This is another alternative for you to gather your targeted amount.
Just ask, beg, steal or rob the bank to get your budget. (Arranged from the safest to the most risky) I am not responsible if you get caught alright! We aren't encouraging you either, it is just an "alternative".
Secondly, consider manpower! (All the Machos goes argh!)
You need people to help you with your stall. You can't possibly hold on your stall for long...
Remember to consider your people's welfare! Buy them something to encourage them and to spur them on.
Being caring is a leader's quality.
Break them on in shifts and make sure no one does more than what he/she needs.
Of course check those who does less than he/she indicated the day before.
Lastly, consider advertising. Have your objective in mind. Earning $$$ is your objective.
Every business owner never opens a stall to lose money.
So you too, must make sure your power of attraction is strong.
One way to increase your attraction and popularity is through discounts.
We see the Supermarkets like FairPrice, Giant and Shop&Save giving discounts every time! Hence, they get popular over time. (Ask anyone in Singapore and they are sure to know these Supermarkets) People just love going to a shop which have countless discount banners.
In the same way, give special promotions or discounts for your stall.
Next, is the decoration.
People judge you from the first 5 seconds from your appearance. This goes to be true for stalls.
Neatly decorated stall attracts people. In turn, people attracts people.
Lastly, Advertisement.
Coca-Cola spent around US$160 Billion on advertisement alone worldwide. Also, even the poorest, the most isolated country in Africa knows what Coca-Cola is!
MacDonald spent US$120 Billion on advertisement alone worldwide.
Started in 1954 by Ray Kroc, proudly having a joint with Dick's restaurant in California, San Bernardino.
Ronald Macdonald the happy clown first appeared in 1963.
Today, an approximate 30,000 local restaurant are serving 52 million people in more than 100 countries each day.
Now, ask every kid in town what they like most and most of them replied," MacDonalds!"
What does it tells you? Advertisement is expensive but it is the most effective in bringing in revenues. If not why these major leading companies bother to even spend this much?
So we can see some stalls in the carnival giving pamplets and coupons away.Pasting their stall's name on walls along the corridor, on the floor to be trampled upon.Successful? You bet they were.
Thank you! I hope you have read this post with great pleasure. Wait with us for the next post wouldn't you?
Now the true beauty lies in nature. Be Enviromental friendly when doing business.
