Beacon Challenge Kicks Off

The Beacon Entrepreneurship Challenge has begun. At the kickoff meeting yesterday, our group was informed that we would be managing the Major League Baseball section of the new store, which is relaunching at sportsnutshop.com. We will be directly responsible for contacting wholesale vendors and selecting the products that will be carried in the store. In addition, we will handle all baseball related marketing for SportsNutShop, with an initial budget of $500. Our ad budget will increase over the next few months, as we meet the sales goals set by the Beacon Team.

Beacon has also agreed to provide us with help from their top notch advertising, graphics, and search engine marketing teams. So basically this all comes together to a hell of a great time, and some excellent real world experience (and hopefully a large, much needed comission check). Stay tuned here for updates on our progress, and an announcement when the store launches in a few weeks.
