Forgetting the uniforms and our personal appearance for the time being, we focussed on the shop and the products themselves. To begin with we bought bottles of skin cream (green to match our colour theme) as example products. So that’s one thing we can actually put in the shop. I think it helped to get items for display; it’s something to focus on. Making posters was a pain. Jack was able to create some lovely cheesy posters for our company, but printing them the right size, getting the right quality for such huge posters, well it was a pain. Despite some of the larger posters turning out pixelated, I think we might still be able to use them behind the counter (from a distance they still look fine). As a precaution we also printed some on a smaller format so that the images were of a better quality.

I was still concerned about not having anything on display in the shops (the number of creams we’d bought was limited because the product was still being tested). I think one of my biggest concerns was having something to give away to our audience. It had been strongly recommended that we come up with something to give away to our audience so that they would remember our company. Well we looked into it and be it pencils, business cards or wrist bands it was far too expensive to buy in bulk (roughly 100) and have them personalised with our logo. With no budget this seemed like yet another impossible task. Once again, our solution seemed to be ‘we got lucky’. Through an acquaintance we were able to get 200 small plastic bottles which we would fill with water and give away as a sample product, a liquid endorphin rush. We decided to call the product Bliss.
