I vividly recall the time that my son's school called a
meeting for the parents and teachers in a bid to renovate the school gym
after a ghastly storm had rummaged the once illustrious building into a worn
down wreck. My initial idea was that each and every parent should contribute
a trifling amount of money but when I heard that most of the parents could
not afford the amount that I referred to as a trifling I knew we had to
think of other solutions. At lightning speed we managed to sire a few
concepts that we found practical and cheap. In addition to raising funds at
the end of the day we had managed to market our school and gain the support
of adulating fans. What was the technique we used? Well, the dynamic
solution is written in the paragraphs that follow.
One of the most commonly used items
are a bag. It can be used as a carrier of various heavy items that would
normally be strewn about such as books. Bags come in an assortment of forms
and hues and can be crafted from almost any substance available. These
implements are also quite cheap in cost. This translates to the fact that
whatever little money put towards the gym repairs could be pooled into
buying materials for the starting of a bag making enterprise. As for designs
there is always the internet to look to as an unlimited resource centre for
knowledge in bag shapes and looks. The four design ideas that finally stuck
to mind and were selected were sling backpacks, fabric backpacks, customized
backpacks, and
clear backpack with bottle holder.
Creation Festival
Creating
cheap school backpacks that one desires is easy,
especially if the school works as a team. The mothers of the school are
bound to have sewing machines in their homes and these are the best work
stations. The work load must be adequately divided into several batches so
that efficiency levels are high. However, there are some unique aspects to
note for each type of back pack in order to obtain a favorable end product.
Sling Backpacks
Drawstring
string-a-sling backpacks are bound to be well received by buyers, the younger set
especially those in their 20s would be attracted to this kind of bag. This
will no doubt set a great trend amongst these young people.
Fabric Backpacks
These particular design of
backpack can be put together from various leftover and discarded cloths bits
and pieces. A many colored bag is just as beautiful as a single colored one.
The stuff used to make this bag is abundant and it is available for a
pittance.
Customized Backpacks
Of all the bags these
hold the highest hopes as a bestseller. For those who want a customized bag
they would no doubt be willing to pay a premium for it. Each bag would be
designed to suit each individual whim in his chosen colors and shape. The
customers would come from a wider variety of sources as compared to customer
base for the other bags. The profit margin would also be significantly
higher. Any design could be catered to such as
nylon mesh drawstring backpack according to the clients fancy.
Clear backpacks
This segment of bags is especially targeted at the youngling
market. The transparent material could be sources at a greatly reduced price
form warehouses. To add a certain class to the final product creative
details can be added on. Shiny fairy dust can be used to add some pizzazz to
the backpack to make it stand out in a crowd. Additional accessories that
are also worth thinking about are butterflies and ladybirds which make
pretty accessories to the basic form.
The true essence of the product is the logo that will
be imprinted on each and every back pack. The school badge is a symbol of
pride for the school and it is a way in which the school could be marketed
to the rest of society. Who knows, maybe in a bid to generate income for the
school a company might decide to fund the school for future projects.
Therefore always make sure that the school badge is boldly printed on the
nylon drawstring rucksack or back packs.
