I want to join. HAHA

Anyway, for your job to promote. I think what the employer wants is your layout of the plan.

How you spend £1000 or less to get a product across and if possible earn profit.

It actually depends on the product. Know what the crowd in your marketing venue likes, knows, use, wear, see, feel, etc. Pinpoint on them. You are a student. You know student loves value for money stuff. We also like freebies. So work on that as well.

Well 002 is reporting to 001 about his new sig and his univ, year and course:P

Spinning martin might be a good trademark though. TRADEMARKS ALWAYS worth more than it thinks:P GOOD CHOICE.. maybe free martin stickers, posters, Frisbees, etc:P hehe

Sadly I'm just about to finish my postgraduate course, and I'll likely never be a student again.

However, I'm happy to be a member for the two weeks I have left

violetviolin

If you live near a supermarket, find out the time they reduce their items, bizarrely our nearest one is Waitrose and we've found out the times that certain things become reduced and we go there for our weekend pastries, roast chickens and other much needed student grub. We have also learnt how to follow the reducing guys around to pick up their bargains Managed to eat like kings for a pittance last year!
