Today’s the final. It was so exciting to finally arrive at this stage. Early at 7am, we can see all the finalist busy preparing for their booth and setup. From a glimpse of what they are preparing, I’m already very impress with what will be in-store later.
The day started with the briefing by our facilitator from ATCEN, Mr. Yandaro.
Today’s task will test the finalist on their Entrepreneurship skill. All profits from this exercise would also be donated to MERCY. Each finalist was given 1 week to prepare for this and here are what we have:
In the 1st store, we have a finalist selling accessories. There’s a large variety of accessories here. There are handphone pouches, necklaces, banglets, wallets and many more. She even prepared a You’re Hired paper bag to put in the accessories.
The 2nd booth, our finalist was selling discount voucher pack. He managed to work out a joint partnership with Befrienders to provide him with these gift pack. These gift packs have vouchers from Chezz Technique, Clara, Caffe 1920, Station Kopitiam, Shabu Shabu, Mr. Teppanyaki, Popular, U Bowl, Reborn and Smiley Floral & Gifts. For just a mere RM10.00, you can get all these vouchers. What a good deal.
We have the 3rd booth running some games for the shoppers to win some interesting prizes. Remind me a lot of those fun-fair booth.
The 4th booth is selling Aromatherapeutic products and services. She even offered massage services at RM1 per minute. According to 1 of the shoppers, her skill is really good and I got to know that she learns from her mom and her mom learns from Thailand. Her booth is also the 1st to sell off everything.
The 5th booth is the most interesting booth. They work out a collaboration with a company to bring in the latest fashion technology from Japan. They have a kiosk there that can create your own Nail Printing design. You just have to select the design you want and put your finger in the machine and it’s done. You have a beautifully printed nails. The other machine that they have can help you print your dedication or message on a stone.
The 6th booth really put in a lot of effort. She basically hand-made all the cards that she’s selling there and there are like hundreds and hundreds of it. She also sells shapes paper puncher and it’s cheap. She’s selling 2 for RM15 and outside is selling RM10 for one.
The 7th booth sells fashion apparel. She brought with her a wide range of appareal. From dress to shirt, this booth have everything. They even sells couple t-shirt which is rather interesting. I like the messages in the tee. She actually worked on a consignment basis with a company to provide her with all this. I’m impress that a music student actually have such business minded thinking.
The 8th booth sells painting. They don’t only sell existing painting, but you can also get a caricature of yourself drawn on the spot.
The 9th booth sells crystal. They talk about the benefit of crystal and the price is not expensive. The finalist says he manage to get the crystals from his friend from China.
The last booth, well as you can see – FOOTBALL. He uses football to attract the youth and run a game show with them. All you have to do is to answer the question to see how good you are at your football knowledge and you get to win some cool prizes.
All the 10 finalist were impressive. They showed so much of efforts and creativities in coming out with these. At 10am, the task begins. All finalist had 7 and a half hour as the task ended at 5:30pm.
