The Grind

This week was all about preparing for our presentation for Mr.Reed, Mr.Thomas, Mrs.Williams and many other teachers. We took the mini business plan we made the previous week and decided what were the most important points from it. We also discussed what would be the most valuable points from our lean canvas and what would be the best presentation format to use. We ended up choosing Prezi to display our presentation for the teachers and picked the most important parts from our business plans. All this planning was done on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, we went through a dry run of out presentation and prepared ourselves for difficult questions and problems that could occur or be brought up in our meeting. We were not completely prepared for our presentation, because we only have five or six slides, so we will need to make sure that is done by the time we return from Spring Break. Our initial launch date had been immediately following the return of Spring Break, but now we have realized it will need to be pushed back a few days in order to meet and make decisions with regards to location and supplies.

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.

Food? Food.

Today we learned about project management and designated roles. Also, the importance of project management and how staying on task and designated roles makes the most efficient working space for our business to prosper.
