On Tuesday, we went to Jimmy Johns and Tutti Gusti to get feedback from local businesses, and to see if they would be interested in our company. We talked to managers at both places and they sounded interested, but said we needed to bring back formal documentation to show their owners.
Although, Jimmy Johns said that they don't offer any discounts or coupons, they said they could potentially help us by allowing us to work with their marketing team. The manager, shown above, said that their marketing team goes to different places around Harrisonburg everyday and hands out free subs. We are hoping that we can go with the team and sit on the commons and try and get students to sign up for our venture and give us their phone number. In return, they will then get a free Jimmy John’s sub.
We are now in the stages of creating a formal document that we can hand out to all local businesses, when we go to pitch our idea. We intend to have this accomplished by this weekend and on Monday we will go to the rest of the businesses around town and pitch our idea. We then would like to see what business could give us the best deal to use during our Beta testing. We are going to send out a blast text for that one deal, at no charge to the restaurant, as a trial run, to see if students actually come in. After our results we will reevaluate our venture.
