blog post #2

This week in class we have been working on multiple projects. Within our sock project we have been working on ordering the socks. We finally got out order in and the design selected. The design which was created by all our group members features the spartan on it. We felt confident ordering the socks once we were able to see Kyle’s socks that he ordered and saw that they turned out well. We also decided on our price, they will be sold for 15 dollars a pair. Having locked in these was a really great improvement for our group and we look forward to selling them. Since we ordered 18 pairs our first sale is completely reserved by the basketball team as well as a couple individual buyers.
I also worked on part 5 of the storefront project a lot this week. Working on this has really helped me look at all the work that goes into starting a business and see how buying stock is much more complicated than just buying it and selling it again. This also made me think about the difference between services and products. Our services for example don’t cost anything to produce however in order to sell our stock we must buy stock.

  1. Now the hard work--the selling--begins. You've got a great product, but you'll still need to push hard to sell as many as you can. I'm eager to see how you guys do with this.
