Surfit, an all new apparel Company

Introducing Surfit, Surfit an all new apparel company. We are a surfing and apparel company that is designated on designing clothes that deliver beach lifestyle to people across the country. 24.8% of Americans visit the beach every year thus having a very large market to sell to. As of now our design is in progress but we do have a general idea. The basis of the design will be a surfboard. The design within the surfboard will vary depending on the location you buy the shirt at. The designs could be exclusive to each beach, allowing the people who buy them so show support for the beach the attended. Surfit will also give people a sence of pride in the beach that they go to and be able to rep it.

We are currently working on our final business slide and try our best to catch up with all the other business plans in our class that are relatively more complete than ours. We will work on the design and produce a few shirts that we will initially sell in our school store, and from there we will expand.

End of the year update

Hello readers,

I am getting closer and closer to completing my business. ParkMePlease is the only valet service for Dulles airport so competition shouldn't be a problem. I am panning to build an off site parking lot with tons of space for cars/trucks. I am also thinking about expanding into other airports and becoming an international business. For loyal customers, discounts will be available and parking will progressively get cheaper and cheaper. I am thinking about adding a limo for those customers who would rather park themselves at my parking spot and riding in luxury to their final destination.

Stay tuned for my final updates coming soon.

Stumfort Apparel- Approaching The First Finish Line

The future of Stumfort Apparel looks bright as January 5th (the date of our official pitch) approaches. We have just completed a comprehensive business plan that outlines the vision of our company- a vision that encompasses both style and comfort into one single piece of clothing. We are currently creating more prototypes for our first good, the Stumfort Top Package, which will be the combination of a button-down shirt, a tie and a sweater attachment; we aim to create three separate prototype pieces of Stumfort Apparel wear before January 5th so that we can show our potential investors what a Stumfort product really looks like. The main hurdles that we are facing right now when making our product are our barely-proficient sewing abilities and facilitating the ease in which the tie attachment can be put onto the rest of the Stumfort Top Package (in other words, the wearer currently cannot put on the tie attachment in a time-efficient manner). We hope to fix these issues before the pitch date in order to demonstrate how our product works in front of our investors.

The money gained from these investors can hopefully be put to good use by creating magnet attachments for the tie so that the tie can easily be put on.

We are very hard at work, as seen below:

While these challenges may appear as and when we make progress, all members of the Stumfort Apparel team remain resolute and eager to maintain this same rate of achievement in the coming months. 

Ez-Box gets ready for the final pitch

As January 5th approaches, Ez-Box continues to make progress in the development of our application and business. The Ez-Box prototype application is now completed with all base features working flawlessly thanks to team member Harrison Stuart. Meanwhile, Brandon Lessard and Adam Hillman have created a comprehensible business plan for investors to look over. Working towards the final pitch, the team is shifting its focus towards the presentation and feels confident about Ez-Box's chances in the competitive market.

No Kart

     Recently we discovered an app that is exactly the same as the app we are planning to design. The link of the app is posted below. Thus, after considering, our Go Kart idea has been abandoned. Right now, we are still brainstorming ideas that are be totally different.
   

     Also we have lost our enthusiasm about our last idea because first of all, it's very challenging to make in terms of technology. So the idea that we are focusing now should probably be easier to make and interests us.

HydrationRight Continues to Develop

Since my last blog post, I have made a lot of progress with my business MVP. I have been working hard on finishing my website (see home page below) and drafting blog posts that I will publish in the next couple of weeks. I have also spend a lot of time reviewing my business and trying to answer all the hard questions I might be asked during my pitch. This next week I'd like to focus on finishing my logo so that I can open my Facebook page to the public. I would also like to work on my marketing strategy and the technology behind my product.

Stumfort Blog Post - Nov 14th

In the past few weeks, Stumfort has made constant progress and we are very close to creating our first prototype. One important step in this journey has been learning how to sew! We are currently cutting up dress shirts and stitching on snap-ons in order to fit on a sweater attachment, thereby creating a typical Stumfort product. In the near future, we are going to follow accounts on Twitter to help grow our profile and spread the word about Stumfort. We have gotten 5 followers so far and are going to tweet about how our prototype is being finalized so that we can get more attention from those who may be interested in our product.  

Mama's Meals Goals

Since Mama'a Meals last blog post we have not accomplished much since then. We did have to write 20 hard questions for our business, then our class asked us some questions about our business and we struggled to answer a few of them. We are in the process of completing our prototype and still need to print our logo. Hopefully, within the next few days we will send the prototype out, but we still have to bring in the food and place the logo on the box. We are also going to try and finish our business plan by the end of this week.

ParkMePlease in effect!

Dear Readers,

ParkMePlease is now on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. We are going to start working on striking a deal with Dulles airport in the near future to better the lives of the airport users. ParkMePlease will be giving discounts to all followers on any of the accounts listed above. Early adapters to ParkMePlease will receive loyalty points which will earn free parking.

Ez-Box opens into new realms

Ez-Box, previously Pack My Lunch, is doing incredibly well. Brandon and Adam traveled down Jermantown road to the Flint Hill lower school to taste test possible lunches with third and fourth grade students. We discovered that most of our healthy lunch box ideas were enjoyable for these children. As prime examples of who the lunches would be created for, they added valuable insight to our business plan. Harrison also worked closer towards a launch of the prototype and should be finished by the end of the week. Ez-Box is on the path towards success! Below is a picture of some food that the lower schoolers taste tested.
