Chapter 106
Su Miao looked towards the sponsor, and then was stunned. Why did the person next to the fat Mr. Feng look so familiar!
Ah! Little Fatty!
Today, the little fat guy wore a suit, which was rare. He was sweating profusely even in the cloudy day with the temperature over 20 degrees Celsius, and he wiped his sweat with his signature plum blossom handkerchief.
The button on his belly is stretched tight, the little fat guy has gained weight again!
He looks very similar to Mr. Feng next to him. As the saying goes, nephews resemble their uncles, so this must be his uncle.
Director Zhang gave certificates to the students, and Mr. Feng distributed prizes and bonuses. When it came to Su Miao, they took a photo together.
The top scorer in each subject received a generous bonus of 80 yuan, which was a typical worker's monthly salary. Su Miao's two subjects combined earned 160 yuan! She felt that her little coffers were becoming increasingly full.
When presenting the awards, an oversized cardboard was used with the words "First Place in Physics Competition" and prize money of 80 yuan written on it. Below that, the sponsor, Awang Wholesale Co., Ltd., was written in a smaller font.
Director Zhang and Mr. Feng stood on either side, and Su Miao stood in the middle holding the cardboard, smiling and cooperating for the photo.
Compared to the brightly printed cardboard front, the back was a bit sloppy, with a khaki envelope directly pasted on it, containing the prize money.
Afraid that the students would lose their prizes on the way, the teacher in charge put them all in his bag and returned them to them when he returned to school.
After the awards were distributed, the leader gave a lot of words of encouragement to the students and then ended the meeting. The teacher asked everyone to go to the bathroom and prepare to return to school by bus.
Su Miao took advantage of this opportunity to run over and talk to the fat boy. Before she could say anything, the fat boy laughed: "Miao Miao, you're amazing! You won two out of three first places! Congratulations!"
"Brother Xiaopang, I didn't expect to see you here. Are all the bonuses and prizes sponsored by your company this time?"
The fat boy nodded. His double chin became more prominent because he lowered his head to speak. "Yeah! It's another trick my uncle came up with. Every year, the promotional posters for the subject competitions can be posted openly at the entrance of the Education Bureau for the entire year. And your schools will definitely post your winning photos and other things at the school gates. That way, all parents can see our Awang Wholesale, hehe."
It has to be said, otherwise how can they become big and strong? This advanced business acumen is not something that ordinary people can have. The key point is that they can also get connections with the Education Bureau, which is not easy!
She thought that her shop now had enough staff, so should she do some publicity to attract more customers?
During dinner in the evening, Su Miao proposed the idea of organizing a promotional event, and everyone thought it was a good idea.
After all, the main products have changed, and some of the audiences will also change. Moreover, the business has been open for a few months, so it would be nice to organize some activities to give back to some old customers.
Su Yuanzheng asked: "Miaomiao, how can we attract more people to participate in the event?"
"The most attractive activities all have two characteristics: either there is excitement to watch or there are bargains to be made."
Su Yu was eating white-cut duck and dipped a large amount of sour porridge into his mouth. The sour taste made him shudder, but he still did not give up joining the discussion: "Then if we can have both excitement and profit, won't more people come?"
"The key is that we need to let others know that we are holding an event. Otherwise, we can go out and distribute flyers on Saturday and officially hold the event on Sunday."
Su Yuanzheng thought for a moment and said, "Leaflets? Like...leaflets issued by the government?"
Su Miao then realized that nowadays few businesses use flyers for advertising, and many still hang large posters at the door of the store.
"Yes, flyers can reach a wider area. We can go outside a little more when distributing them so that more new customers can see them."
Ye Jiayin raised her hand to join in: "On Saturday, Uncle Yuan and his family should still be open for business as usual. Miaomiao and I will go hand out flyers together, and I'll give you a ride on my bike."
Ye Han also agreed: "Miao Miao, then you can make a layout for the flyer and I will help you contact the printing factory."
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Su Yuanzheng had no choice but to pour cold water on them: "But, what exactly are our activities?"
Everyone looked at Su Miao, the initiator of the event.
"Hey, would it be fun to have a dragon and lion dance team? Wouldn't it be interesting to have a raffle?"
Once the plan was finalized, everyone began to work on their respective responsibilities.
Su Miao made a simple flyer. In addition to the basic information, the word "lottery" was printed in a particularly eye-catching manner. Even if the flyer accidentally fell to the ground, passers-by would not be able to help but take a few more glances at these two words.
Ye Han contacted the printing factory to print two hundred copies. This was only possible because he had connections and they printed them on an expedited basis. Otherwise, with such a small quantity, the printing factory would only process it when they had free time.
Su Yuanzheng went to find a lion dance troupe. Nowadays, there are very few people who perform lion dances full-time. Many of them just do odd jobs and take on work when there is one.
Fortunately, this lion dance team is composed of a group of experienced masters who have worked together for many years. They have participated in many large and small activities, and during the Chinese New Year they will go from street to street to bring blessings to people.
There were six of us in total, and we booked a two-hour session from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., which cost 3 yuan per person, not expensive.
Su Yuanzheng and Su Miao took advantage of their lunch break to buy a lot of prizes and picked out a lot of things with great interest.
In order not to spoil the fun, participants will not be left out in the lottery, and even the worst winners will have a small item to cover them.
Most of them are daily necessities. Cotton masks and thimbles are basic rewards and are the largest in quantity.
Second prizes include hand-brand clam oil, small foldable scissors, or a bar of soap.
The first prize is an enamel bowl or enamel cup.
There is only one grand prize, which is a pair of iron kettles, which is very attractive to everyone!
The prize setting takes into account people's actual needs. Regardless of the size of the items, they are all daily used at home, which also enhances the audience's interest in participation.
In order to save on flyers, fewer flyers are distributed in residential areas. Two flyers are posted at the store entrance and on the bulletin board, and verbal promotion is sufficient to promote the information to customers.
After all, when there are activities, there will be loud drums and gongs, and people will definitely come out to watch the fun.
Ye Jiayin rode a bicycle carrying Su Miao to distribute flyers. The style of her bicycle was very rare. It was one size smaller than the 28-inch bicycles on the road and more suitable for girls. Su Miao felt very stable sitting on the back seat.
They went to a small park nearby. It was crowded on weekends, with elderly people out for a walk and parents on vacation bringing their children out to play.
Ye Jiayin took a chain from the basket, locked the wheel and the telephone pole together, and the two began to distribute flyers.
