Building Future Entrepreneurs Through Retail, Sales & Customer Service
Help me give my students items like display stands and clothing racks for an opportunity to build retail experience by running a school-based enterprise.
I am reaching out on behalf of our student-based enterprise. My DECA Club would like to start a student-based enterprise and would like to make one of the closet areas a school store for school merchandise and retail. The student-based enterprise is centered around the students operating the store, making merchandise, designing products, and selling to students, staff, and parents. It will provide our students with valuable hands-on experiences in entrepreneurship and business management. Razorback Treasures is the name of our student-based enterprise.
Acquiring store equipment will enable my students to gain comprehensive and practical knowledge of running a successful business.
We aim to create an authentic retail experience within our school, where students can apply their classroom knowledge in a real-world setting. Students will learn how to efficiently handle transactions, track inventory, and generate sales reports. It will also provide them with valuable insights into customer preferences and buying patterns.
Here is an overview of the specific equipment we are seeking to acquire:
1. Display Shelving and Racks: These essential fixtures will allow our students to effectively showcase products, organize inventory, and create an inviting shopping environment for their peers and staff members.
2. Visual Merchandising Supplies: Creating eye-catching displays and arranging products attractively can significantly impact sales. With visual merchandising supplies such as signage, banners, and props, our students will have the tools to showcase their products effectively.
More than half of students from low‑income households
