Week number 4: SSM and going crazy in Superpark

On Monday we presented our ideas to SSM (Suomen suoramainonta). Like I told in the last post our task was come up with a solution(s) what else distributors can do than distribute adverts and how SSM can improve their marketing in social media. Our idea to them was that they should create a website where is possible to customer put help needed for example cutting lawn, cleaning, snow work or babysit. Then worker can take the jobs from the website. Point was that those are pretty easy skills that most of the distributors can do. When the job is done, customer confirm it, gives feedback to worker and worker gets paid. Check out Handy.com so you might get the idea better. Other point was that in today's economic situation it is so difficult to get any kind of job without experience and this is good way for younger people to get that. This kind of thing also gives good picture and respect for company also because youths are Finland's future. Our point was also that our solution creates value for every part of it for example job experience for younger people, respect and visibility for SSM and of course for customer that somebody helps them with tasks they don't have time to do. We also encouraged SSM to be more active in social media and if they want to reach young people they must speak their "language". Group Fantastic four had taken this idea little bit further and they made an example of the website and how it should look. Well done again!!

Feedback from SSM representatives was only positive and they liked our idea very much because of our viewpoint of young people and how they should be treated. Ilkka also gave us positive feedback about presentations marketing style. All in all SSM representatives were wondering on and on how they are impressed what every group had came up with. Anna also told that they needed convincing to come co-operate with us. Shame on them!! I'm pretty sure that they are thinking differently now and hope they realize to apply projects like this more often because we are the future's working force and we know how our generation thinks

On Wednesday we went to check out the Superpark and shoot some video material for our promotion video to them. WHAT A PLACE IT WAS! We literally went crazy there, we were like kids again. We had such a good time there playing football, floorball, baseball, basketball etc. And we got pretty good material for the video too, you'll see! At the end of the day we were exhausted and we didn't realize it until we left there. What a great way to do sports. We would definitely recommend this place to everyone because you don't even realize how much you get exercise there. For the most people (like myself), I hate just to go jogging, I need something else there, that's probably why I play football;D just kidding football is the greatest sport ever! But Superpark is another solution for people who needs something else there.

Yeah we had our football jerseys on in Superpark for a reason

On Friday I missed the bus and i missed the first 15 minutes of presentation that Lynn-Marie Sederlöf gave us. I catched up pretty fast and we actually got our fourth assignment. When I heard what was it I was little bit disappointed to be honest. Task is to make marketing campaign for subscribe webpage Lacybox. It includes land page designing, Facebook posting, Instagram posting, okay at this point it doesn't sound so bad, wait when you hear what the product is...:D WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR and our group should target the campaign to hen parties. Okay i'm not afraid of women's underwear I've seen them before but I really don't know how to advertise them or how to advertise hen parties. But when I taught this through it actually doesn't sound so bad because i'm willing to improve myself all the time and I really hate if I suck at something, so i'm gonna take this as self development and we will nail this campaign.

This is how i would describe this task: Even though it seems to be hard, it's still possible

Yeah thank you for reading, see you on next week!
