In Celebration of the CBA Week, the Marketing Junior Executives work hand in hand with Student Council to conduct a Trade Fare. Trade fare is scheduled from March 22 -24 at the Canteen Extension and at the back of M209. To attract more people, CBA borrowed the Pavilion from the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management and it serves as the place for the different clubs to sell the products that they are offering.
At the first day of the Trade Fare, Marketing Junior Executives failed to join because of the delayed information that the school cannot provide us with wires for electricity. This discourages our plans to sell pancakes and shake that we find more profitable in our previous trade fare for Valentines. Plan B for the club is to sell soimai, but other clubs sell it on the first day and that’s unethical for the club to compete with other clubs product because we defy the objective of this trade fare and that is to raise funds in a nice and friendly way. Due to this, the club officers find other saleable product that would fit the taste of both the students and the employees of the University. As marketing students we should provide the students with the right product that would satisfy and delight them at a reasonable price. This is an added pressure for the club. At the end of the first day of the Trade fare we derived at a common product and that is fresh fruits like Watermelon, Mangos, singkamas, and pineapple.
This event made us realize that selling is not that easy. It involves a lot of hard work and effort and for you to succeed you should be able to have the right attitude and that is patience and dedication. All the sacrifices we made were really worth it. The most important part of this trade fare is not the gaining of funds but the lessons that you can acquire.
