After the
Triumph event, we carried out a mini-roadshow which was held outside the
shopping arcade on 2nd February 2015 from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm. For
the mini-roadshow, we sold items from Cheers as well as products from external
vendors.
During the
pre-event preparation, we brainstormed for different themes for the
mini-roadshow event. We as a group chose Food for Energy, Resources for Exam as
we felt that this theme would be appropriate keeping in mind that the event
would be held during the study break.
We went on a field trip to places such as
Bugis Junction, Chinatown Point and SCAPE to source for external vendors.
Sourcing for External vendors
After liaising with various external
vendors, we managed to source for two vendors, welovezakka and Indiesin. After
confirming them, we started to prepare for our A&P.

Before
the mini-roadshow commenced, we worked on the visual merchandising of the

On the day of the event
We
started to set up for the mini-roadshow at 9.00am. Some of our teammates rushed
to the fixtures room to get the relevant logistics while some brought down the
stocks.
Setting
up the booth
We commenced the mini-roadshow at 10:30am after
which we dispatched our mobile selling teams while the rest of us were
stationed at the booth. Our mobile selling teams covered areas such as South
Canteen and the various TEP Centres.

After the Event
After the mini-roadshow ended, we
packed up all the stocks and returned the logistics to the fixtures room. We
took a stock-count of all the products to ensure there were no discrepancies.
In conclusion, the event went
smoothly as expected, though we faced certain challenges while organizing for
it. Through the event, we have learnt to be resourceful and it has also helped
us to work as team and foster close ties within the team.
