project example:

Example of a Final Project Submission: Written Report" I Want to be a Wedding Planner! GEB2112 For this project, choose a SERVICE that you would like to promote. (This is for practice onlyl) (Some ideas are preparing and delivering food; tutoring; handyman (woman); tech support for common connectivity challenge in home (game systems, Alexa, Ring doorbelis etc); in-home nail tech; home organization coaches, among others) 1. The business I want to promote is Wedding Planner 2. Find the NAICS code by typing in the service 812990 3. Choose one of the companies listed and provide a short description such as the one that follows: The corporate name is Weddingwire ine but it is better known by it tradestyle name The Knot Worldwide." It was founded in 2006 and it has 741 employees in total with 75 on site. It is a publicly traded company and it has sales of $160,556,000. I then clicked on "Wedding Consultant" which shows me there are 4,226 businesses in this category. 4. Go to the company website and provide four observations: a) The site includes planning tools for budgets, venues, and guests. b) There is a tab for ideas on themes, types of receptions, ceremonies, etc. c) There are 16,000,000 monthly users and 500,000 vendors. d) The service is avallable in 15 countries 5. Initial impression of this company and the career of wedding planner (At least 50 words) This is a huge business with all the layers that I had not considered like relationships with vendors and types of weddings (destination, ceremonies, dresses, florists, catering, etc.) I think I would rather do small, local weddings with vendors I know personally. I could not compete with this giant! 6. Identify three local competitors by searching on Google and show their locations, pricing model and services. Filters: 20 or fewer guests; 1-4 months in advance; decor rentals 7. Do a short write-up about what you learned from these companies and if any of them would be one YOU would interview and possibly hire. (At least 100 words) There was a 200\% difference in pricing for the same service so that told me that what you might get could vary quite a bit. All had the same filters so what I started to look at were the number of employees, the different types of events and the photos they chose to spotlight on the site. The second one seemed the most professional but if I were a client, I would be careful of "estimated cost," in all cases. This is the type of business that people will want to know ExACTLY how much flowers, rentals, etc are going to cost. One thing is the planning service, but the items the customer chooses are priced independently. 8. Go to the website of the company you chose and see what additional information or insights you can get; write up a 50-100-word summary. This was a very professional website with lots of information including the types of weddings they plan (lots of experience apparently) in all kinds of weddings and ceremonies; they have a brochure you can request. You can customize your wedding with some help, a team approach, or the whole event and all the details. There will be lots of ways to spend more money! There is a huge emotional aspect to the advertising appealing to intangible aspects. 9. Finally, write up what you think you need to really think about before moving forward with the idea (50-100 words). There are so many things you can include that I would prefer a stream-lined approach with upfront prices and smaller weddings. My dream is to support local small business (florists, caterers, retail shops) to share in my success. I do not want to compete with the "big guys" but I do need to start to establish relationships with local vendors to see how to orice my senvices too.
