Future Expectation for dreamvending

This is such a marvellous to work on this project. we had received so many positive feedback from all over the world. They love our mascots and artefacts. I think we definitely can continue to work on the campaign in the near future. There are so many unknown opportunity and outcomes would appeared. through this campaign, w e reached almost 7000 views and 659 post likes. and we distributed 300 dreams offline. and engaged with each and every staff and students to enjoy their dream.

I think this is not the end.

• continue to collaborate with illustrators to spread message of sleeping hygiene and to expand on the mascots of the campaign as well.
• Sirene Water is quite interested in our project, we are looking forward to corporate with them soon
• BooksActually in Singapore
• Media Release

Our initial idea and also will be the ultimate idea is that we managed to touch the hearts of the students and got them to take the notice of their sleep habits. Justin and Zhao would keep continue for this campaign, when i back to China in next year, i will also try to spread the idea of dreamvending, and open the big market in China.

Dreamvending will never die:)

Final Dreamvending Reflection

Through four days campaign. Dream vending Team did a fantastic job. I have collected some feedbacks from the uni students and staff.
* This is such a cool idea, i dont have dream at the moment, can i share my dream via your twitter or facebook?
* what does those mascots mean? they are so cute!!
* I just love your campaign concept, keep working on with it.
* is there any way that i can get a plush toy or t-shirt?
* thanks, thats so sweet, it definitely made my day
* who is rolester?
* i will share my dream with u guys tmr morning, and can i get a t shirt?
* which course is it? i wish i can take this course in next sem

In this amazing campaign, thanks for everyone’s support. We have been working very hard and luckily that we had so many good feedback from others. This is such a great feeling. 

In the campaign, I have learned so many things with my team.

• always prepared for the different problems. we had a lot of problems happened in this project, we can say that everyday must have one problem appeared, we tried not to be panic and face with the problems and deal with the problems. This is a learning process, we learned how to solve the problems immediately. This is a very precious experience for all of us.
• Keep track of the timeline. As a production manager, i have responsibility to keep everyone on the right track. this is also quite important to keep track of the scheduled timeline, we did change a bit about the timeline due to some issues happened with the vending machine, but it didnt change the big part of the schedule. everything should be organised but not mess around and had no idea what to do next. I am being very proud of it and i think i did a good job in terms of the organising.
• understand your audience. this is quite important part i have learned through this project. if we understand our audience, we can have a lot of different ideas about how to let them know about campaign. We clearly know that our audience is the university students who stay up late. Not only the posters are seeking for their interest. We tried to make some artefacts that attracts them and let them keep it around. We made the plush toy, door handle and T shirts. Those are the things that the uni students would love to have and keep it at home. and also subconsciously giving them a hint about enjoying your dream.
• always be passionate about the campaign. we had quite a lot of problems during the process of campaign. This is quite important to cheer up every member and let them know that this is going to be a fantastic campaign. it is quite lucky that our group members are all uplifting. they didnt complain at all and keep doing their work efficiently.

MI2 Self Reflection

Through this whole semester, I found out that you are not waiting for the task, but learning to find out the task. in terms of the committee role, it might not have too many distribution including the guest inviting, seminar organising, and big team work. but rather than as a support for each one of the seminar. and help out what they need and what to promote. I think i cannot be defined as a good committee, because i have more passion to work with more people. even though that we did a such a great job as a whole committee team which was quite appreciated. However, this is a such a amazing experience for me to finish my third year uni life.

• Learn how to work as a small team, we need to know that what exactly things we are doing and how.
• We need to know what kind of role we need to present in front of the media students. we are committee, so we should know exactly what things they need to prepare for us after the seminar and also how to upload the video via our fresh meat official channel on YouTube.
• In the social media side, we need to ensure that whether they have individual Facebook page, and expose it out, and get more people to know about it.
• in terms of the teamwork, we need to compromise sometimes when we faced with some issues happened around us. there is no way for to us to argue about the questions, but to deal with the question efficiently.

There are still have a lot of things that i still have to learn from this process:

• Organisational skill. I was thinking that i can be a very good organiser when i did some projects before. In this time,  Bianca was in charge of the organising, i would not able to put it out. she is a very well organiser, and i also have learned a lot from her. can say that listening is good way of learning as well.
• Getting involved: in this semester, i was quite busy with my uni projects and also outside projects. so i have to say that i could pay more effort on it.
• Connecting more with other group members: I cannot say that i am not a good communicator, but i don’t like to talk to people via Facebook. I am more likely to face to face talking. therefore, i did not have too many interactions with other group via Facebook page, rather than i chose to talk to them directly if i have any questions from them.

This is such a new experience for me as a committee, and i would love to do more in my future career.

Second Day #dreamvending

Today is the second of our campaign launching in the city campus. It was a big success yesterday. We are still keep going!

Today we moved the site to outside the Bowen st. We thought there might have more people would notice about our campaign. It was a good start to set up everything on the table. our hand-made T-shirt and plush toy and also with the posters. We could say we tried to create as much attention as we can . Indeed, some people were asking for whether they can buy the T-shirt or plush toy. because they really like it. Therefore, the previous plan was denied by lucky spin from the vending machine can win the tshirt or plush toy, in the reason of we were afraid of the lack stock. and now we changed the plan that as long as the people can tell us the dream they had and we will film with talking about their dream, then they can get free either plush toy or t shirt. Have three videos about people’s dreams which are awesome outcomes!

Maybe it was over excitement about the effort from yesterday. There was lesser people outside and obviously less interaction with the student. We did figure out the reason is that this area are more for the people enters into the building, and less people exits.The location we settled down was fantastic, because there is a interaction between the building 8 and the cafeteria. There are more people flow over there. another reason is that people would feel that we are selling something, people would not easier to come closer.  From the experience of yesterday, we only sited the dream vending machine in the middle and without table. People would feel more intimacy with that. Therefore, we decide to site the dreamvending in the same place as the first day, without any table, only a dreamvending machine. that might be more efficient.

This is a character building experience, as long as we tried different ways to make it better.

Keeping the hard working for tomorrow.

First launching day#Dreamvending

First day for promoting out campaign, which was simply awesome. We have interacted with a lot of students who were passing by. We got quite a lot encouragement from them in terms of the reaction about our campaign. they just LOVE IT!  I am in charging of the sales superwoman! the responsible is to talk to the students about what is the dream vending machine about, how does it works, what is the key message about this campaign. We got quite a lot of outcomes.

However, we also got some bad feedback. they would ask what is the point of making this dream happened. there is a less people could remember their dream very clearly. We couldnt say that this is true that you cannot keep your dream longer, but i was trying to say that this is the project that we are trying to help the students to have awareness of sleeping well, enjoy your dreaming in longer time. Maybe he twisted our key message. Its totally fine that not everyone would support your campaign, but the thing is that how to keep your campaign alive and believe that this is marvellous project. YES! we are confident to say that our project is AWESOME!!

MI2 Reflection #3

In terms of the Seminar Participation, I have been to the most of seminars except one that i missed out. This is quite important for the committee that if they need us for any help. We need to help them as much as we can. I helped few seminars with their preparation of the event and also the pack up. feeling satisfied with helping out.

there is no any exact things we need to do as a committee, but i just tried my best to do anything that i can. from the beginning of the poster design, i helped Wennie with the designing. this is quite stressful work for her because those posters would put on the media building for the whole semester. it is quite important to have eye-catching posters for the media students. HERE COME TO OUR MEAT POSTERS.

In our “Committee”Facebook page, I always want to be more active on the page. i think i did quite a good job in terms of the interaction with my group members. I was always willing to take the responsible.

Vending Machine issues

• Proposal For vending machine companies: we have emailed a lot of vending machine companies, there are no any response back which we were pretty desperate. we tried to call them back as well and hope they will give us a specific reason why they would not interested in our project. Most of them are actually quite interested in our project, but the issue is that they are more concerned about the transportation to the campus would take a lot of time to organise. They gave us some advices to ask the RMIT vending companies, and may try to contact with them. Everything turns out to be mystery. and we need plan B for the vending machine.
• change Vending Machine to toy vending:  We decide to change our vending machine idea to toy vending machine, it is obviously smaller than vending machine, but definitely more workable in terms of the transportation and flexible. We purchased a toy vending machine in the American Website. Everything seems to be good, However, the issue was coming suddenly one week before the first launching day. They failed to delivery the toy vending to Australia. We start to think about the Plan B, we start to search on Chinese shopping website, and finally found out a seller that he could ship the toy vending via DHL within 4 days. then the issue is sorted out:)
