Team:Shanghai City United/Fundraising
Fundraising
To support our research, we started some fundraising activities.
Firstly, we collected a certain amount of money from all team members to customize
our peripheral products. Then, we used some previously-designed versions of our team logo to make the
peripheral products, through which we won’t,waste the creative ideas. It also served as an opportunity for
our team members talented in painting to to show their abilities. While waiting for our peripheral products,
we made some online publicity to ensure that somebody would like to buy our peripheral products. After that,
we rent a booth in DiMei Shopping Mall, Huangpu District, Shanghai, to sell these things. I have to say it
was a little bit hard for us to attract attention from the passers-by. But we didn’t give up. We won a lot
of customers by giving gifts and our souvenirr hawking. Although we didn’t raise much fund, we had
experienced the fundraising process, and we will do this better next time.
Selling peripheral products online is another method because of the development of
technology and science. More and more people would like to shop online, which is a much more convenient way.
The amount that we raised online also confirmed that our idea to be correct. We raised almost twice or more
of the fund than the fund we collected offline. That was also because we had made wonderful posters and wide
publicity. Furthermore, we have considerate customer service and after-sales service, making the our old
customers more willing to recommend our peripheral products to others. This also makes us more confident
that we can achieve better results in the follow-up product publicity and promotion. .
