Halloween came and went and we actually made money?!?!! So this past week as been a blast of activity with preparing for both the Bake Sale and Halloween. We managed to get the posters approved and hung up before the events so I found that to be a pretty successful moment. Looking back, I would have done a lot of things differently...which is why Grace and I worked on putting that into the manual for next year! In preparation for the party, I picked up equipment for the "Step and Repeat" and went to work with Tyler and Kevin constructing and making sure it was legit. I also think that there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding this process as well and I want to make sure to enter it into the manual too. This week has also taught me a lot as a director. I'm slowly learning not to take people's bullshit and how to be more assertive in how I task my team.
For Indigogo, I found this field guide to better my understanding of the site and process. One idea this guide shared was to create hype around your fundraiser. They suggested throwing a party and using social media to build "suspense and intrigue." While this is vague, I agree with it! We have to make our Indigogo stand out and I think that using a quirky humorous tone/stance will draw people in. We could accomplish this with weird prizes or by maybe revealing secret prizes or something along those lines. I look forward to working with Adrienne on this assignment.
