My Conclusion - Santhosh -- Individual contribution

Individual Report-Santhosh
What I Did
-CA1  
    - Visited stores in hougang with Xiao Chen (Herbal store, Thousand Deli Bakery Drink store etc.)
    - Got rejected may times, but it was worth it as we gained valuable information
    - Give my opinion that the hardware store was a better choice than the dentist.
    -I did research on the marketing methods of the company for CA1 presentation.
 -CA2
    - Did all the slides for practical 3 (Overseas company) with Dion's help.
    - Gave my input on the Lowe's (Overseas company) which dion found.
    - Did the flyer for CYS hardware store.
    - Created poster for online advertisements
    - Did online advertisement of Facebook page on english forums.
    - Created twitter page.  
What I Didn't Do Well
-Overall
    - Did not maintain the twitter page well.
    -  Communication was sometimes a problem as team members liked to speak in Mandarin. (I should have told them to speak English.)
    - Could have posted more blog entries.
What I think that I did well
  -Overall
    -Managed my time well, especially for the practicals, which we were given little time to do. 
    -I communicated well with team members (when they spoke English)
    - Gave encouragement to group members who were feeling stressed, and they did the same for me.
    - Worked well with my teammates.(No arguments, etc.)

What I think I could improve on/ learn and apply them in life after doing this project
    -Presentation skills that I learnt from SMM can be applied to my poly life.
    -Time management skills picked up from SMM can be applied in my daily life. 
    -Learned to be a better team mate.


In conclusion, I feel that this project was very meaningful as it allowed me to explore the wonders of Social Media Marketing (SMM), which I did not know about before. I learned so much about the way that companies use SMM to attract customers. I was oblivious to stuff like marketing principles and stuff like that before.


Other than that, I also learnt valuable life skills like presentation skills and time management skills, that will be very useful for poly life and for my working life. I would do it all again if i had the chance, because this module was really very engaging and informative!
