HOTSHOTBUSINESS FOLLOW-UP JOURNAL:

Today we launched our _skate_ company under the name of ____SocioZ____.
Our first measure was to create _training boards_ stations to meet customers’ demands. However, after a while we found out that _pirates boards station_ was unprofitable and we decided to drop it.
Our customers were mainly interested in _space boards_.
We promoted our services through _the sky_
Then, we found out that our prices were _low_ so we _increased them_.
So far, we’ve attained _a very high profit_, but we think that next time we will have _to increase it_.

Well, you’ve been playing for a while now and so far, you’ve done quite well with profits of up to $15,000. But, you’re still far from your first million, so it would be useful to revise your strategies to battle your path towards success. So, raise your chin and go ahead!

Business Finances:
Our call was to
_use our money_, so now we’re _free of paying back to the bank_.
We think it was a good/bad strategy because at the end of the sixth week
_we managed well and we highly increased our profits_.

Marketing:
While selecting the
most appropriate marketing campaign, the options were among these four:
_print campaign, barker, sky campaign and TV commercial_, we chose _sky campaign_
which meant a cost of _$150_. The advantages over the rest were
_all people can see it and it is a funny way to show our business_.

Customers:
At launch time, our customer
preferred _off road boards_. Our decision was to offer them
_more stations because it will increase the number of clients and our profits_.

Competitors:
After due research, we found out that our competitors
_changed to a pet spa shop because we concentrated the market_, which led us to _raise our prices_.

To sum up, we think that our best decision was_satisfying our customers _ because _we sold a lot of boards_.

Today we launched our “Comic Shop” company under the name of “Arturito”.
Our first measure was to create “Video Games” stations to meet customers’ demands. However, after a while we found out that “Robot Comics” was unprofitable and we decided to drop it.
Our customers were mainly interested in “Video Games”.
We promoted our services through “TV Commercial”
Then, we found out that our prices were “too low” so we chose to make the comics more expensive.
So far, we’ve attained $5200, but we think that next time we will have to focus only on demand.

Our call was to start our business with our own money, so now we’re not losing money because of the bank.
We think it was a good/bad strategy because at the end of the sixth week
we had doubled our previous capital.

While selecting the most appropriate marketing campaign, the options were among these four: “Print Campaign, Barker, Sky Campaign and a TV Commercial” , we chose “Television” which meant a cost of $200. The advantages over the rest were 200% more clients.

To sum up, we think that our best decision was to fully increase marketing campaign because after all, we would recover the money with the profit.

Today we launched our pet shop company under the name of "wow wow".

Our first measure was to create the most popular (Clip n Snip) stations to meet customers’ demands. However, alter a while we found out that having so many of them was unprofitable and we decided to drop it.

Our customers were mainly interested in Clin n Snip and Hair o Matic.

We promoted our services through everything (like TV, paper and sky).

Then, we found out that our prices were very low so we raised them up.

So far, we’ve attained $5847 (and 495 bizz points), but we think that next time we will have to change the job to try something else to improve our profits.

That’s all by now,

The WOW WOW company (Vale, Romi and Kari)

Business Finances:

Marketing:
While selecting the most appropriate marketing campaign, the options were among these four: TV commercial, sky campaign, print campaign and barker, we chose the first one which meant a cost of $200. The advantages over the rest were the amount of people who came to our market (200%+).

Customers:
At launch time, our customer preferred "Off road". Our decision was to offer them that station with a lower price because we needed new clients.

Competitors:
After due research, we found out that our competitors lowed their prices, which led us to make a great campaign and make our profit bigger .

To sum up, we think that our best decision was to have only what people want because it gives us a profit and we use money only for profitable things and to make a Tv campaign that made the number of clients much bigger.
