COMMERCIAL
Project Aims
As a commercial team we aim to help provide finances to aid the other projects so they can attend things like training events and courses. For the new art rehabilitation project our team will help provide the income for the equipment to make it possible. We make our money through different fundraising ideas throughout the year.
However, the Enactus team as a whole doesn’t have a heavy dependency for finance to fund their projects so the commercial team don’t have extreme pressure to generate high incomes.
Fundraising plans
Recently we have acquired a new partnership with a company called Dividabill which is a great and simple way to help us raise money. Dividabill is a company that has created a way to make house bills much easier and all we have to do as a team is help to create sales for them and for each sale we earn £20 for Enactus.
Another big project aim we have is to create cinema evenings for students at university. The first event will hopefully occur in Freshers week so people can have a good first experience of it to create good publicity for the event for future screenings. Our plan is to use a large lecture theatre and project a well-known film onto the screen and charge £3 per student. We could also sell snacks and soft drinks, if licensing allows, to generate more profit. If this is successful we could create themed evenings before Halloween, Christmas and Valentines day for example.
Project History
Over the past year we have built an excellent sustainable partnership with a company called Tutor Doctor. This partnership involves a couple of times a month our team giving out fliers to promote the company and from this we receive £200 each time. We also conducted different fundraising events throughout the year including Krispy Kreme sales and bake sales which helped us raise some money but most importantly helped our team get to know each other better as we have had a few new members.
Alongside these bigger projects we aim to continue smaller fundraising activities once a month which will be led by 2 members of the commercial team each month.
Taking into account the fact that as an Enactus team we have a relatively low budget, as a team we hope to raise roughly £600.
