As part of my college course, we have been introduced to
Jane Shaw from People into Enterprise,
where we have carried out sessions with her regarding
creating a business for our work placement module.
During one of the sessions, we were split into groups after discussing what
sort of business we would like to create.
As part of my group, we decided upon creating a pop up shop in
Newcastle town centre, where we would create and sell our own garments.
After deciding upon this we created a list of things neccessary to carry it out.
- Event on Facebook (free advertising)
- Business proposal on Facebook
- Promote within college - help - connections
- Get local businesses involved
- Show other students work from college
- Hand leaflets out - get graphics students to make
- Contact Newcastle Council
- Photos - photograhy students
- Create a lookbook
- Live window
- Till, venue, float, shop fittings, bags etc
- Invite teachers from universities
- Polls - find target market
- Budget
- Create a blog
- Hold during Newcastle Fashion Week for publicity
During another session with Jane, we were asked to
work as part of a team and create a drawing of what an enterprising
person should be.
This is what my team came up with:
Just another productive day!
Overall, I have found the sessions with Jane really interesting
as it has allowed me to assess my own enterprising skills, and
gave great knowledge on what it takes and skills neccessary to create such an
event/business in the industry.
Heres to hoping the pop up shop will soon be up and running!
