alt_pansyHas your mum cooled off yet?
I've finally got the last installment today. Sorry it took longer than I thought it would.
Have you had a chance to read through my budget proposal? I think if we approached Zonko's with some second-tier products, like the line of chocs and cremes, they'd be willing to carry them, and it'd make people recognise the brand and drive more customers to the storefront and owl order. They really do have to look sharp, though. So we'd have to spend a bit on packaging. Like have a proper print shop work on it. If we have a big enough order, though, we should get a pretty good deal on it. Especially if we tell them that if we're pleased, we'd be coming back for lots more. And if they do a brilliant job and it looks fancy enough, we could get away with charging more too. I'm not sure who we should talk to about it, though. I guess I could talk to Demeter Freesia, she did the cover art for the album that had the Hey Hey song on it, and sent us some sketches and things before it came out. She might know someone who works on those sorts of projects.
I'd bet we can get some things displayed in Zonko's by the first Hogsmeade weekend if you approach them now with a prototype. But we might have to settle on a price right then, which would be tricky without knowing how much the packaging would cost us.
And what do you think about taking an advert out in the Prophet once we've got enough to start up owl orders? I think if we get enough initial orders before the storefront is ready, we'd get more people coming by to see what it's all about. And! If we get the advert out and some samples in the common rooms before Hogsmeade, we'd get loads of students asking for our stuff
I really wish I didn't start school in a few days. Just when everything's starting to get interesting.
