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.
Bags are a
commonly used item to carry our belongings Luggage and books are a few
examples of things that are normally carried. Without bags it would be
difficult to put all these things together to bring around, in a world
without bags we would have to carry a few items at a time and scatter to
collect fallen items. Bags come in all shapes, size and color. They can be
created from a wide variety of material at many different levels of cost
depending on the material used. Thus our idea was to use some funds to carry
out a strategy to create some bags for sale. There are many designs of bags
to choose from and so we used the internet as a resource (thanks to its
limitless information) for finding the right design of bags to fit our
budget and skill level. The four designs that we finally decided upon were
sling backpacks, fabric backpacks, customized backpacks and
clear backpack with bottle holder
due to the fact that these designs would entail the least work and cost.
Fabrication Fiesta
Making
cheap school backpacks are actually easy if it is
collaboratively done as a group working in unison and not as a solo effort.
Each mother in the school is more likely than not to own a sewing machine
which can be utilized for the activity of bag making. The tasks would be
segmented and sourced to each different group in a fair manner to accelerate
work and increase production. Nonetheless each individual backpack would be
imbued with a personal touch to retain an aura of uniqueness about it
thereby siring a finished product that is suitable.
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 type
of backpack can be made from old clothes and pieces of leftover pieces of
cloth to make a many splendor bag that is just as good as any other bag.
Sourcing for material is the simplest as these old materials are practically
free.
Customized Backpacks
These have the most potential out of all the ideas
that can spring form the mind. An extra charge can be added to the basic
charge for those who would like to place orders for their own kind of
backpacks. Color and design will depend on the individual's fancy and they
can be as varied as possible. The Customer base is wider and the potential
to make a tidy sum of money is very apparent. Incorporation of the other
types of backpacks such as
nylon mesh drawstring backpack can be done at the owner's request.
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 soul of the product lies in the symbol that it bears, mainly the
logo. The emblem of the school shown in distinctly in the school badge is a
source of both pride and joy for the school and this pride can be shared to
the rest of the world through the selling of badge bags. It is not a
daydream that due to the success of the bags an investor may be found that
would fund the project to take it even further. Thus it is important to
prominently imprint the school logo upon the front of each
nylon drawstring rucksack or back packs that is created.
