Fizz: Fashion and Non-Alcoholic
Beverages Game Created by Savvy Mom Ruth Paget
Famous
people in show business often endorse products they use such as beverages,
designer fashions, cars, make-up, and food to earn extra money from their
public persona or “Brand.” Some
celebrities even become CEOs of their own companies making their brand
products.
Designer
fashion, designer accessories, cars, and beverages seem to be common among all
items endorsed, if you look at advertising in magazines.
The
name of this game is “Fashion and Beverage Industries CEO.”
The
object is to develop business plans according to the Small Business
Administration’s Business Plan Template at www.sba.gov.
Developing
business plans helps future CEOs learn how to think in numbers. This is a good skill that you can practice
even in junior high school.
A
good question to always ponder is:
“How
can I keep the company afloat for 5 to 7 years in order to have profits and be
able to hire people?”
Another
good question to ask is:
“What
are the legal implications of even hiring a secretary?”
The
tasks in this game are straight forward, but consume time to accomplish, but
give you some marketing information to develop business plans.
Task
1:
-Look
at the business plan template of the small business administration online at www.sba.gov and complete it.
-Do
a SWOT analysis as part of your marketing plan writing.
(SWOT
= Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat)
Task
2:
-Draw
the fashions in a history of fashion book starting with ancient Egypt and
coming up to the present.
Task
3:
-Design
fashions that show the wearers are fair leaders, who take care of people, yet
are able to judge lawsuits based on scientific and legally obtained evidence.
Task
4:
-Do
a business plan for your fashion line for leaders
Task
5:
-Research
10 different international beverages that are currently not bottled such an
iced, Vietnamese coffee.
-Look
at the ingredients for the 10 different beverages and look up USDA approval
regulations for canning and selling beverages in the US.
-Deicide
on 1 beverage to brand with and develop a business plan for it.
That’s
it, but this is a lot of work.
However,
practicing writing business plans helps with math and finance skills takes
dreams into a sphere where they can be a profitable reality, if details are
worked out in a business plan.
Have
fun!!
