Evaluation

As part of this coursework it is important to evaluate the activities and research we have done so that we can assess whether we have met our targets and reflect back on work we have done. Also to evaluate what we would change about it if there was going to be a next time. Enterprise activity
In my opinion I think that our enterprise event was a success in many ways, firstly the sales turnover was a success, as we achieved a higher level of sales then predicted on an excellent day in our sales forecast. When we worked out how much money we were going to earn and how many products we were going to sell, we had a predicted sales turnover of 60 but we achieved a sales turnover of 90, this is excellent and i believe this is down to the location we picked for the stall and it was a reasonably warm day so many people would enjoy a refreshing ice cream.

Our estimated profit on an excellent day was £24.95 but we reached £64.36, this is £30.41 over what we were expected to make. We had accurate stock in terms of the ice cream and cones as the last scoop of ice cream went to the last person in the queue at the very end of lunch.

I think that the feedback and customer reaction we had was excellent as
