OUR CHARITY EVENT

 For our charity event we sold sweets in a cup for £1 for one size to start off with. Dannah and Lucy (seen in photo above) set up the stall and the 'Mind' advertising banners and balloons etc. They were there for the first half whilst Alex and I took over the second half and tidied away the stall and banners. 

Our stall was going god however, we experienced  problem which was we only had around 13 cups out which limited our maximum profit to only £13. Therefore, to resolve this problem we then got smaller cups and filled those and sold them at 50p so we could increase our profit margin. This worked well for us because some people preferred to buy the 50p cup so we extended our range of product to suit the customer preferences. 

In the end we ended up raising £17 of profit for the charity MIND which I was pleased with. Perhaps if we could have done this again, to improve we could have started off with the range of cups in the first place.   

For our group project I was in charge of the poster. Because of the time of year I chose to make it a christmas themed since I thought it would entice people more because if could have created a nostalgic affect of the atmospheric feeling of christmas and all the excitement leading up to it. I also out the price of the pound coin being there because as I am aware and which MIND is aiding is some people may had like to buy one of the sweet cups but because of such mental illnesses like social anxiety it is difficult to ask therefore, I put it directly in the middle so everyone knew exactly how much it was and despite us being friendly and smiling at the stalls if they were too anxious to speak then we would have understood this is why I decided to put an image of the price on there.
