Back to Business
Things are about to get CRAAAAAAAAZYYYY these next two weeks!
Now that Easter break is over, there’s two weeks left for our Creative Economy class. I won’t say that there’s only two weeks left for Temptation, because I’m really hoping it goes beyond just a school project. Things are going very well for Temptation, thankfully, and we’re now looking forward for our Temptation Experience: The Picnic 
The trade fair was quite lovely, we checked out different businesses, while we promoted our Temptation experience and got as many contacts as possible so we can send them e-mails once the picnic was confirmed.
Then, the picnic promotion started. Throughout the Easter break, we used different mediums to promote the event, and Facebook proved to be highly efficient in promoting our event. We created a Facebook Event and invited everyone we know that would be interested in this event, and started sending messages and getting an approximate number of how many people are attending.
Traffic on the website has been high as well, as through YouTube and Google Analytics we realized that the videos we post are among the most viewed categories on the site, so we worked on more videos and the video cook-out challenge is up so yay! The cooking challenge received very good feedback, it seems people relate mostly to videos, I think it is what makes the website stand out from just another recipe guide. The videos are fun, interactive, and create discussions and word of mouth, which at the end of the day what we really want. Plus, the total views for our Temptation videos is close to 500 according to our Techie Alice, so that’s pretty cool!
I’ve been getting many responses on the ad as well, and should be discussing them with the group in our next meeting after Easter break, once everyone’s back in Kingston.
I also spread the word to university students while I was in Jordan; I approached university students and told them about the website; asking if it helps. Hey, why not go global? It’s a website afterall, so it technically already is. And I was surprised by how many students DO actually live on their own, from suburbs of Jordan and appreciate such websites. Yay Temptation!
Now……. BACK to the Picnic! We’re all set preparation wise, we’re selling tickets, and we have a good approximate number. Approximate being the keyword as so many people are interested in the idea, but either don’t have the cash on them, or like the idea but “are not sure…” So we’re wishing for the best, and prepared for the worst!
Do not fight Temptation………. Join our Picnic
