With it being the last week or in somecases last day before Easter we knew it would be very quiet and that people would have gone or be getting ready to go home for the holidays. Therefore we decided to use it as a practice run. This would enable us to see what we were lacking and improve for the next stall after Easter.
By doing this we learned that we should spread out or make rotas for everyone in the group because we felt some people may have been intimidated by 6 people stood behind the table! By organising rotas and having 2 or 3 people at a time behind the stall we may encourage more sales!
We also realised our table didn't look very attractive; we need a cloth for next time and also a banner!
Another problem we came across is that nobody knew we were doing it for Breast Cancer so we had to explain when people came to the table. Next time we are going to have a poster and a small picture frame on the table holding a brief summary of what we're doing.
The biggest problem we had was change for any sales we had! We were all short on cash as our loans were wearing thin, but after Easter we will have enough money for each of to gather up some change and organise a float!
On the plus side, to day we made a total of £33!
