STREET SALES :D :D :D
Today's street sales was fun :)
From the general point of view: Grace, Belle and Janessa went to set up the booth first, then joined by De Jun, then Yi Jing and me and Max. We managed to get a $50 donation from someone so kind and helpful.
From the personal point of view: Then I decided to wear the strawberry costume and went with Yi Jing to do street sales :) One very kind couple donated $12 plus at one go and the costume drew lots of attention (as was aimed). People stare, people point and people grab it. At one point there was even one lady who came up to donate to us because of the strawberry costume. Then Yi Jing and I walked back to the MRT station, to find De Jun and Janessa singing and Belle and Grace and Max working hard :)
From the general point of view again: Then the rest of those who were supposed to come today (and not supposed to come today) came and we sent them on street sales :)
From the personal point of view again: SHHHHHHHH. NO ONE WILL KNOW. EXCEPT US.
Then it became six and all of us split up the goods and went home! I carried the money home and now my arms feel like I had swum 12 laps in the swimming pool. And I have that fuzzy feeling when I am going to sleep or very tired. But still it was fun!
Next street sales, would be in August. So let's study hard for blocks everyone! (Although if you feel free you can arrange a comm outing or something, then do some more street sales. And get to know one other better.) And to promote sales try selling in school or to your classmates. They work. SELL SELL SELL and hand the money IMMEDIATELY into the bag once you get it. If you need merchandise to sell TAG now please.
Thank you so much everyone who put in so much effort this week and for the past few weeks!
:D
oh and a note to hwachers and guys in general: DO NOT COMPLAIN that girls have an advantage. I know a guy volunteer for our group who managed to get $70 in 4 hours. TAKE HEART, and just keep going for sales.
