Husky BuyPass - Launch Delayed & Reflection

Unfortunately, we recently received an email saying we were rejected for the Amazon Affiliate marketing program. However, we are not letting this news get us discouraged, especially since at the time they reviewed our website we were still in our early development. We will continue to submit to the program and add more to our site until we are eventually accepted. We plan on adding reviews and more personalized products to add more unique content to our site.

In the mean time, we are working on our final project: our reflection presentation. This will be an overview of our experience creating the business and the struggles and successes we encountered. We will be presenting this week.

Husky BuyPass Update

This week our goal is to refine our business plan. Last week we pitched our business to a panel of school administrators. We received feedback and many questions arose during the pitch. For example, what would make it successful? Or why would an investor invest in our business? Our next step is to finalize the the business plan, especially the marketing strategy and launch date. The launch of our website and educating the community about our business are the two most important parts in the success in the start-up of Husky BuyPass.

Website Update:
Our website is still under construction but an image of a prototype is posted below.

Husky BuyPass - Presentation & Launch Date

During class today we presented our business plan and felt like we were on the right track. We will make a few minor edits that were suggested from the class such as detailing how we pivoted our business in our Powerpoint.

We are planning on launching our business officially the first week when we get back from Spring Break. Our website is well underway and development should not be too time-intensive.

Husky BuyPass - Website in Development

Husky BuyPass has created a very rough version of our website, still in early development. 

Here is the link: http://www.huskybuypass.com

We will continue working on the website in the future and we feel confident it will be ready in a timely fashion. We also got registered with Amazon's affiliate marketing program, and are ready to stock our store with their products. Next class we will be signing up for the Ebay affiliate marketing program as well.

Husky BuyPass - New Affiliate Marketing Program

This week we have come up with our company name - Husky BuyPass. In addition to the name, we have also purchased the domain huskybuypass.com and plan to host our website there when it is developed. We also presented our Lean Canvas and overall feel confident in our business so far. We believe one of the best parts of this service will be when people need to buy books for school, as we'll be able to make them easy to find and highlight the cheapest prices.

Future plans for next week are to:
-Find out what products people like to buy online.
-Build the website.

Flint Hill's Affiliate Marketing Business

Today during the class time, we had a meeting regarding the future of the business.  We have finished up our Lean Canvas business model and we feel confident that our business is ready to be developed. Next steps include creation of friendly and usable website that students and parents can access easily. This will hopefully help the Flint Hill Community as a whole.
