NETSSG YONO FlashPay Card by EMRS Team 3

NETS SG was here in Nanyang Polytechnic's Atrium from the 6 - 8 of May to give out 3000 YONO FlashPay cards to the staff and students. The booth was opened from 10:30AM to 4:30PM for the 3 days.

YONO FlashPay Card and Welcome Kit

YONO, which stands for "You Only Need One", aims to nurture and cultivate the use of cashless payment. It positions the card as fun, cool, inspirational and everything such as youth events. This card offers many benefits such as 1-for-1 Starbucks café latte, 1-for-1 Cathay Cineplexes movie tickets, earning 5% rebates for all cab fares and more. Students could also stand a chance to win a lucky draw prize upon spending a minimum of $5 in any shops that provides Nets FlashPay payment service.

Preparation of the event:
The OICs from Team 3 had a meet up with the client, a few weeks before the actual event. During the meet up,  we were introduced to the functions and the purpose of the card, what kind of expectations the vendors had for the team and what they can help us with. After the meet up, a briefing was held to explain more about the card and what everybody is supposed to do. The A&P and Logistics I/C were also decided during the briefing and we have to come out with an event poster and logistics list. The team also decided on the shift work and arranged the job scopes according to flyer distribution, registration of cards, lucky draw and crowd control. The team also had to coordinate with Team 2, who was planning an I.T. Fair in the same location, to decide where the NETS booth should be placed.

Style I.T. Fair by EMRS Team 2

What’s better than starting a new semester?

Starting the new semester with great IT bargains!!!

Introduction

A three day I.T. fair was held at the school atrium from 6^th May to 8^th May. It featured a range of electronic products and accessories with discounts up to 80%! If you had not been there, then you would have to wait for the next I.T. Fair in campus for an awesome opportunity to purchase great items at a unbelievably good bargain.

Posters by our A&P students!

Planning and Preparation

We started planning for the event two weeks before the actual event date. It was quite a rush but we managed to secure 11 I.T vendors and 3 food vendors, bringing back old favourites and new flavours such as Lao Ban Beancurd, Coolgurt and Charlotte Grace Cupcakes!

2^nd - 5^th May 2014

On the 2^nd, AGVA were the first to come and do a pre-event delivery of their goods.

Aceline, Lomography, LaoBan, AceCom came on the 5^th with their products and fixtures to do their set up.

On the actual day

6^th May 2014

It was an early start for all of us.

Our team reported to school at 7am and started setting up the fixtures at about 7:30am. It took us about two hours to finish. As this is our first time executing a major event, we made quite a few mistakes. Each of us were assigned to our specific roles. The girls were responsible for arrangement and setting up of the fixtures according to the layout while the boys did the movement of the fixtures and goods from the storage room to the atrium.

7^th May 2014

We reported at 8:30am and completed set up within an hour, an improvement from the previous day. The layout was modified a little to accommodate some vendors because the speakers were situated too near them. Despite some challenges, sales were higher than the day before.

Setting up as usual on the second day

8^th May 2014

On the last day, we reported at the same timing as before and this time, we set up the event within 40 minutes. It was a huge improvement to the previous two days as we became more accustomed, therefore more efficient in moving the fixtures even though there were even more adjustment of the positioning of the booths.

New fans for our vendor

We also have our foreign friends from Philippines who came here on a learning trip. They helped us in hosting the event and making of the A&P posters as we have massive sales on the last day of the fair!

[The crowd on the last day of the fair!]

It was a very tiring event for all of us but we gained so much valuable experience from this mega event. From this event, we learnt that communication with the team and the vendors are very important. Critical thinking and foreseeing problems before they occurred are skills that we learnt from this event and from our supervisor. Furthermore we realised that teamwork played a huge part in the execution of the event. Without the team, this event wouldn’t have been accomplished.
