This mobile clothes washing service is a service to clean clothes for homeless and at risk adults in Rochester and surrounding Monroe county. We are a nonprofit located in the heart of Rochester dedicated to serving and helping the homeless community. In addition to cleaning the clothes of the homeless population we will introduce them back into the workforce through the hiring of our company. The logistics will be discussed further in the business proposal but we feel it is important to end the cycle of homelessness. Our service will make Rochester stronger because we are putting people with barriers to employment to work and helping end that homeless cycle in our community. Our organization will work hand in hand with other local agencies and support groups of the homeless in Rochester hoping to create a better network for all. The weakness in the business organization will be the first hand securing of sponsorships and partners to help cut costs and create a non-profit entity. It will take a vast amount of effort to go from company to company first hand pitching our ideas in the hopes of securing something with a major company such as Tide or

This year’s goal is to make higher sales volume by keeping sales prices lower than competitors. All items cost lower than $80, so customers can afford to buy something at Annapolis Outfitters. Unique items will be new every day so this will encourage customers to buy the store’s items. Our staff will ask customers what they are looking so they would “bring it” in the store which will increase the connection with the customers. Hopefully, those strategies will help distinguish Annapolis Outfitters from its main competitors and will be the efficiency and profit generating policy of the

First, I appreciate the Kiwanis Thrift Shop because of the cheap and quality goods that you sell. This helps people who cannot afford to shop at expensive retail stores as well as others who just like to go thrift shopping. All the proceeds of the store is donated to help families

This blog on thrift shopping immensely changed my view on going to a store like Goodwill. For me, going to a Goodwill is very unsanitary straying me away from it. Although after reading your article I agree with you in the idea that shopping at Goodwill would be much more beneficial towards my family and our finances. As discussed in your refutation a lot of the money we spend is from shipping and handling costs and that we would never be an issue had we just traveled to Goodwill. I was also astonished at the huge dollar amount that an average teenager spends on clothes in a year which is, “$2,059”. For me, I only like the idea of shopping at a thrift store so that I can make new, creative outfits out of items that are half of the price. For

As a group, we felt that the best way to reach out to the community of Indiana Student University is through flyers. We will have various areas where we will post these flyers in order to get the best turnout for our charity drive. The flyer we decided to make is visual and appealing to the eye. Our flyer includes our school's name and the title “Hurricane Relief” which immediately allow those who are reading the flyer to know the topic of our charity drive. We included the date, time, and place that the occasion will be taking place so there is no confusion of the event hours. In addition, there are pictures of some of the items we are hoping to receive from those who are donating to us. However, we did not include a list of the items because we do not want to limit the participation of donators. Some people may not be capable of providing the items we were hoping for, but we still want them to be involved and donate what they can. This is why our caption says, “Everyone can donate, nothing

The primary goal of Goodwill is to help train people in retail operations occupations. In 2017 the donations received by Goodwill has assisted 290,660 people return to the workforce. Goodwill’s four types of customers are early adopters, late adopters, critical mass, and bargain hunters. An early adopter is one who embraces new products, technology, etc., before most consumers, late adopters are slower to embrace current technology, products, etc., critical mass is the level required for a particular action to arise, and bargain hunters are people who search for quality goods that are priced lower than they usually are. The items Goodwill sells depends upon the neighborhood’s culture.

Early communication with local business I feel would be a key way to prevent any animosity towards the plant. Explaining the retirement homes situation and lack of funds may help show the repair shops the need for the volunteer work. Also, I would try to have the local shops help with the volunteer work; not only does this help expand social responsibility to other companies they may be sold on the idea it may offer free publicity for the businesses involved with the effort. Certainly a positive side of this would be a closer tie to the community businesses; a negative aspect of this volunteer work would be lost wages and worked productivity for the

Employee benefits are an important component of compensation for many US employees. Approximately 30% of worker compensation comes in the form of fringe benefits, and benefits have been linked to increased productivity and worker satisfaction, and reduced absenteeism (Artz, 2010).
