Team 2
presents to you 'Fashion Wonderland'!!
Our first event planned and executed from scratch.
The mini
sales fair took place during the school holidays on 18 June - 19 June
2015, from 10.30am to 4.30pm.
The objectives of the event are to have hands on experience on planning and managing a small scale event, provide alumni with business opportunities and to a create platform for future collaborations.
In
collaboration with:
HIDDEN BEAUTY - Handmade Accessories from Myanmar
KISETSU COLLECTIONS - Leather Cardholders for Men
DOMINIS- Trendy Clothes
We worked on a consignment basis with these three vendors.

For this event, we had a tight budget to follow. To overcome this, the team decided to use recycled materials for the decoration and brought materials from home so that we could work within the budget.
Our handmade packaging for the Hidden Beauty accessories.
Our posters displayed at the booth for various products.
As a group
we decided on the theme 'Nature' for our event and A&P designed the poster
accordingly.
The day before the event, we set up the poster stands in various locations around the school.

On the day of our event, the team started the set up at 9.10a.m. It was rather messy on the first day of our set-up as there was no logistics schedule prepared. We learnt from this and prepared a logistics schedule for the second day.

The layout of our booth!!!!
We were
worried that we could not attract customers to our booth as it was during the
school holidays. Therefore, the A&P came out with an promotional ideas...
We attached sweets to the flyer and gave out around the school.
Also, the OICs
came up with a manpower schedule to separate us up into teams, one team to be stationed
at the booth and another team to be doing mobile promotions.
All in
all, we learnt that we should not have any expectations before trying something out, we should always stay positive and
try out new things, that way, even if we fail, at least we would have learnt
something in the process.
With lots of love, Team 2
