Next Up....Do You Q?

For our last presentation I had ideas bouncing out of my ears. I felt that there were so many areas to help Make Mine Wine be a more successful publication.

But for some reason after meeting Mitch and listening to his Do you q? issues and goals I was some what flat lined on where to take his project. After having an article in the DM Register in late March about the game, he had gotten calls from both HyVee and from Barnes and Noble...or maybe it was Borders...but it was one of the two.

There were so many things that he was already doing, so many things that he had already done right, and executed in ways which I had yet to think of.

We have some great ideas to present to him tomorrow I just hope he finds what suggestions we have valuable for him in the end.

First Round of Presentations

I knew after last semester, when dealing with real clients with real issues, I had a feeling this semester we would be presented with the same sort of challenges as we had been with the non-profits last semester. And I have to say, I find this sort of project to be the most rewarding for both us as students and for the clients who come searching for answers.

Yesterday my group presented our ideas on how Make Mine Wine could quickly and effeciently gain more subscribers. Although our team was not dubbed the 'winner' by our client, I still felt like we had put together a very reasonable, creative and original package of ideas for our client to pick and choose what she may want to use in the future.

If I could do a project like this every semester for the rest of my education I would do it hands down. I like feeling like we have helped an organization. And as a learner and student I always feel that I have walked away with more valueable lessons when we are able to interact with a real life situation.

Thank you both Make Mine Wine and DSM Buzz for allowing us to brainstorm, and plan for your companies.

Next week we will be presenting to US Rodeo Supply and Do You Q?

Dress up Day

So lately I have been spending more time searching for just the right outfit for tomorrow than I have on my group projects.

We have a lot of good brainstorming going on, and we have all thrown out a lot of solid ideas for both of our clients, Make Mine Wine, and Do You Q? We are trying to increase subcriptions for Make Mine Wine magazine, and increase awareness of the product for Do You Q?. I am excited to present our ideas in a couple of weeks.

For role dress up, I had all my family members today help me brainstorm what I should wear tomorrow, I explained to them all four roles, and after the easter feast the ideas started popping up all over the place (I think it helped to think on a full stomach) I was beginning to worry about what role I would dress up as, but thanks to cousin Jill I am sold on the judge role.
