Perth ramble are
really trying hard to get more people to sign up for the ramble, this is not as
easy as we thought it was going to be. Many people at Curtin have been ignoring
our constant information about the event and this is very disheartening. On
Monday the 22nd, myself and Rhian had a meeting with the marketing
manager, she explained what is needing to be done, updates on what we have achieved
and how well we are doing on reaching the over all goal. Our Facebook page is doing very well, we have
received over 100 new likes in a short space of one week, we have had a few new
entries and our Instagram page has received a few new followers. Anthea
(marketing manager) asked if we could come in and do some corporate calls, to
try and gain some companies to enter the ramble. I was more than happy to do
this! Therefore, today I went in at 9am and started calling places like delloite
, BHP, RAC etc. Most people were very friendly and suggested for me to send
them an email with more information. Others were very blunt and didn’t want to
know anything about the charity. I’m not sure if anyone of the places that I rang
are going to make a team and join the event however, I do know that all emails
have been sent out. Fingers crossed that we get a few new corporate entries!
Next Thursday I am
going to go in and spend the afternoon with Anthea going through some more
stuff on what needs to be done, I’m not 100% on what exactly ill be doing but I’m
happy to help any way that I can. So far it has been a positive learning experience,
helping this event be bigger and better. It has its challengers however, I think
with anything that is important it will always have its ups and downs and it’s
your mind set that is the most important thing and your passion. I’m looking
forward to next week, to learn new things and hopefully find out if any organizations
have signed up for this years ramble.
