Practical 4!

I introduced Ned's crepe into this project as i often buy their product and i feel that their food are real good just that they are lack of advertisements on their shop. Thus i suggested to work with them.

For CA1 presentation, everyone in the group have done their work and compiled together. I did the final checking for details and content making sure that we didn't missed out anything before submitting before deadline.
For the report, i did the executive summary and value proposition.

For practical 3, my group, verghese, syafiq and me doing local competitors of Ned's crepes. I've researched on a lot of companies before my group settled down with Saybons. (Eg: Mazazu Crepe, Crepe2u ) However we realised the other companies are either not located in Singapore or they do not have a Facebook Page, thus we chose Saybons instead.
For the presentation, i've searched on how often Saybons update their Facebook Page, how many followers they have. The pros and cons of Saybons and from there, i can conclude what Ned's crepe should improve on which definitely helped in our strategies planning for our CA2. And for this presentation, i also did the final checking and editing before submitting.

For CA2, i'm contributed some ideas regarding on the promotions. ( Eg: Buy 3 get 1 Free  ).
However, this was afterwards being executed in a Reward Card form of way. I've also suggested that
every chop on the Reward card have to be at least $4 worth, thus buying set meal $4.90 will get a chop and it also prompt people to spend more on the company.
However, there's feedback that $4 is too expensive just to get a chop and people will not buy it. Thus we agreed on  "buy 1 crepe get 1 chop" .

I did compilations of reflections and Facebook Insights for the presentations.
However, i still did the final checking and editing before letting our leader to submit.

Good experience working with company outside school.

Ramadan Promotion & National day poster!

As currently it's the fasting period for our Muslims friends.. 

We have created a few posters over the last few days..

Like this one over here!

"50% Ramadan Promotion : Customers who buy a crepe from 7pm to 9pm from current date till 17th August will get a 50% off!! "

However, Ned's Crepes Consultant have rejected this idea..

But, we still carry on to create a poster to wish all our Muslim fans a very Happy Ramadan too! 

After this festival, we planned to design a National Day poster as to follow our timeline.

The consultant had promised us to create one and send it over to us to post on the facebook page. However, we have not received any posters or notifications from her regarding to it. Thus, we created our own poster! 

As National Day is round the corner, to support our own country.. 

we came out with this promotion!

" National Day Promotion : Wear RED on 9th August and get our crepes at 30% off! "

Currently, the consultant have not reply on the approval on this poster yet. 

Hopefully she does so that more people will be able to try our tasty crepes!!!

Photoshop Session!

So we had our first photoshop session during our break time on friday.

Syafiq as the "tutor" here , are guiding us along with our photoshop skills.

Firstly, he photoshopped one picture to show us how to do it on his computer. Afterwards, we were on our own but he's there to assist us. It was really a fun experience as i didn't know i can do so much things using photoshop, like an original jump shot, you can change the background into a cliff picture so it will look like you're gonna jump off the cliff. That's one of the example but sadly, i didn't managed to save it.

After this session, my group will know more about photoshop and used what we have learnt to design our Ned's Crepe poster. It would be really useful for everyone of us. 

Our Decision

After much consideration within our group, we decided to work with Ned’s Crepes.
The reason why we didn't work with Lavina and Le Bunny it's because working with female
retail stores as it might reduce the target market.During the interview, the manager mentioned
that he didn't want us to contact him through email because we might have misconception
of the ideas presented vice versa.Instead, we contacted him by text messages and phone calls for his approval to work with us.

After doing some research our group has understood that Ned’s Crepes is not very popular on the
internet. When we searched for the reviews of the company, we could only find a few.
This means that many people may not know about Ned’s Crepes and that there are potential customers that

we can reach through social media. We also looked at their facebook page.
As this company had 2 different owners before this current owner, there are 2 different pages and one person known as Ned’s Crepes. The two pages are currently very inactive. We can't wait to start working with this company.

Prego

We went to Prego on the 26th of April. It is located at first level of Fairmont Singapore Swissotel the Stamford. Their contact number is 6431 6156 .

Upon entering the place, we could tell that it was a very luxurious and a place where only the rich could afford. We were greeted by the friendly staffs there. It was very intimidating when we asked them for the manager.
So we told him about our project and asked a few questions about his shop. The whole meeting lasted for about 20-25mins. Their deserts were all very appealing.

After the meeting, he showed interest in our project but unfortunately, he said that they had their own marketing team so he couldn’t accept us. Even so, he still wished us all the best for our project.

                                     We still managed to take a group photo with him.

It was a nice experience as it also taught us how to approach the staffs to speak to their managers to not let them think that we were trying to complain their services.
It’s really a pity to not work with them but we continued on to other companies with a smile.
