So why wasn't our project a success?
- Timescale - due to the short time frame of this brief, flyers and posters were distributed on Tuesday and a deadline day was set for responses on Thursday evening. For what we were asking of people to send in and the opportunity itself, was perhaps too big of a decision for people to respond within a few days. Something like this we felt as if people would probably want to mull it over, or spend time perfecting a dance routine or makeup example before sending in their applications in order to help them gain as much of a chance as possible of being accepted.
- Cost - since we were targeting three separate universities, perhaps we needed more flyers and posters to go round each for such large spaces, however tons of flyers would have had to have been printed and this could get quite costly.
- Distribution - in a similar sense to the above point, perhaps there were not enough flyers and posters to go around. Perhaps people picked up the flyers and were intrigued for a brief moment, however may not have actually been interested in the opportunity itself therefore may have just discarded of the flyer. This then raises the issue of the information not reaching the right people. Posters were also pinned onto various notice boards around the universities, a place we thought students would regularly check for opportunity information. However, perhaps students don't check these as regularly as we thought, or perhaps the bombardment of information on these boards meant that the poster drowned in a sea of other information and so was missed.
However...
After the deadline had closed and we had delivered our presentation, we did eventually receive one application from a girl who seemed very serious about the opportunity, showing us that perhaps indeed if the timescale was larger we would have had more applications like this one.
