Learning objective 4

Throughout the process of planning and conducting my campaign i must regularly monitor my own activity and examine my achievements and aims.

I must constantly ask myself if i am achieveing what i set out to achieve, and if not, why not - and then i should ask myself what i need to do to get nearer to achieving my attentions.

I must actively use my reflections to inform, shape or modify my work as i think appropriate.

When the campaign is over i should also include an investigation into the effectiveness of my campaign. This could be carried out by gathering feedback from your target audience using methods such as questionnaires or focus groups.

I will need to:

• examine where i succeed and where you do not succeed.
• consider areas for improvement.
• alter intentions or plans where necessary in order to achieve my aims.

At the end of the process i should think about what i have learnt, and how i can put this learning to good use in my next project.

Phone call

Me, Hollie and Ellie have just gave the hemstock's Jewellers a call about coming in to the shop in wymondham to research the shops history and jewellery also to take some photos for our artifact unit. We are going into the shop next Tuesday for about half an hour so we can take photos and write notes down. Hollie spoke on the phone and she said she felt a bit nervous at first but then once she got talking she was ok and felt more confident. Me and Ellie stood with her when she phoned up so we could help her just in case she missed something out or forgot to tell them something.

We are researching converse, there are lots of different styles of converses, they are very nice and lots of people have them. The shoes weren't very popular until basketball player Chuck Taylor decided they were his favourite shoes. He was impressed with the shoes design so he became there leading salesman. After making a few changes to the shoes, the shoes got it's name and Chuck Taylor's signature on the all star sign.
converses were worn by the entire athletics team in the movie Grease. When Converse was bought by Nike in 2003 and operations were moved from the United States to overseas, the design saw a few alterations. The fabric for a short time was no longer 2-ply cotton canvas but 1-ply textile and many wearers noticed different patterns of wear.Because of these complaints the shoe was once again produced with the twin layer canvas design starting sometime in the past 5 years. This change caused about a £2.7 increase in the shoe across the brand from about £21.6 to £24.4 respectively. On the converse website you can create your own converses this shows that converse has become very popular. Loads of celebs wear converses like Zac Efron, Daniel Craig, Jedward, Paris Hilton, Chris Brown and many more!

We will be producing plays, posters, leaflets and other things to help our campaign and we will be talking to the charity for more help and discussing what we are going to do.

L0.1 Campaign

We have just watched the videos on YouTube called 'Mary Queen Of Charity Shops'. It shows you Mary Portas going into a charity shop and finding out what things they can sell and what things they have to chuck away. They are able to sell 25% of donations they get so that's 2 out 10 items they can sell. Mary changed the unorganised, filthy charity shop into an improved and cleaner charity shop which will sell more items and raise more money.
