The Burger Launch? Well....

The burger launch in the RI canteen was held yesterday, on the 13 of march. Well, below is the list of things that has happen throughout this whole process.

We planed announce about the event during the assembly last Friday, which was on the 10th of April. Unfortunately, luck was not on our side. It drizzled in the morning so the assembly was cancelled and we had to announce our event through the intercom in class, which was not all that effective.

However, on Monday, we managed to announce about the event during the assembly. And by sticking posters about the event in each class, I guess that everyone was quite well informed about the event.

During recess, the press from lianhezaopao and lianhewanpao came to interview us on the event. Our team, the veggie lovers team, gave comments on this burger launch thingy and answer the questions that were thrown at us by the reporters. We also took many pictures by posing with the burger.

I think that this burger launch was quite a success. I believe that because of the reporter’s presence and the fact that they came to interview us and inspect the event, many students were attracted to it. Everyone was curious and wanted to see what was happening and eventually bought a burger, at least most of them. Most of them commented that the burger was quite delicious despite being vegetarian. I think that word by mouth played quite an important part too in this event. I told many friends about this event and encouraged them to come and support. I could say that 80% of them turned up! It was great!

However, they were some setbacks. Originally, we planned to let the students answer 2 quizzes about vegetarianism before allowing them to buy the burger at 50 cents. I think that the event was too properly organized, so the students did not quite understand how the whole thing worked. In the end, the students just had to pay 50 cents and get one burger. But overall, I think that it was still a great success despite this little problem. Everything went on very smoothly…

The next day, Tuesday, we sold the burger for the same price once again, which was not our original idea. This was because there was an overwhelming demand for the burger (because of its price:))….haha. Surprisingly, we still sold many burgers, almost as many as the 1st day.

In conclusion, I think that this was a very very very very successful event all together. Although we had to go through many hard times and had a difficult time putting up the posters and preparing the event, the results paid off, it was worth it. I really hope that we can have more of this type of events in the future. Besides the awareness, there is also a slight sense of achievement, greatness and publicity within us during this event. I have become more enthusiasts in this project after this event.

Let’s hope that they will be more successes in the future for this group. It has been a good start. Let’s hope that it will be better.
