Week 3: Check In

This week I have been focusing on more researching and brainstorming for the swag bags. After last week’s presentation, I have been able to take everyone’s input and reconstruct the bags overall aesthetic. New ideas were given to me that I now have brought into consideration. This week I have been researching possible bag options that are a little nicer than years previous. I want the bags to look nice and reflect our theme and the common love for film. Another thing I have been researching is pen options as well as ways to make the bags unique. After weeks of brainstorming, I’m ready to start figuring out the logistics. After looking at prices of everything, I think having a sponsor for the swag bags is the right way to go, but will be decided in class Tuesday.  As this week comes to a close I’m getting all of my information gathered to present this week to the class. Unfortunately, our department director got sick and was unable to meet this week, but I have been staying in contact with her through Facebook to make sure I am on the right track as far as schedule. My goal is to get all the content finalized so I can then begin contacting businesses and preparing a budget.  I’m excited with the new ideas and creativity going into the swag bags to make them personal and unique. A long-term goal of mine pertaining to swag bags is that they are good enough to not be left in the hotel rooms!
