Today we met up at the homebase, and made a plan. An ambitious plan nonetheless, but still a plan. Some might even say pioneering, but we knew the challenged ahead. We needed to collect data from stores in the area. Then, we would have to compile our data into a Microsoft Office Power Point Presentation. It was go time.
Of the four CA students experiencing this work, we would split into two teams. In our teams we would go out and ask various retailers about their stock of certain types of clothing in order to get a better understanding of the market we are trying to invade. My team, composed of myself and Nevett Scott Matton, managed to hit 5 retailers and left each one with a legal-pad page full of notes. In our downtime walking between stores, we thought it would be advantageous to interview potential consumers on the street. The Street People were, although hesitant at first, happy to answer the couple of questions we had. This was instrumental, nay…, crucial to defining who our target audience was.
After both teams compiled our data, which spanned across numerous pages, we created a Microsoft Office Power Point Presentation to display our findings visually. It was about 1pm when we created our Microsoft Office Power Point Presentation, and for the next 3 hours we vigorously analyzed our data. After much work, it was approaching 4pm and we still had information that needed displaying. As the big hand struck the humble 4 and the little hand grazed over the grandiose 12, we had completed our compiling.
The time to present our information was rapidly approaching; we only had seconds to spare. As Marshall Mathers once poetically stated, “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.” This embodied the atmosphere of the room, yet all four of us knew it was time. Time for what you may ask? Time for greatness. Check in tomorrow for how our presentation went.
