Banker Day is coming together!
The entrepreneurs are writing their business plans, currently focusing on the breakdown of their funding requests, including sourcing supplies and materials and setting prices.
We have guests coming in next week to share ideas for social media marketing, selling at vendor fairs, traditional marketing, and actual practical ideas for creating some of their products.
And, our bankers are confirming their availability! Ideally, we will have banks from our students' three communities (Arcola, Arthur, Sullivan) represented, and utilize the experience and wisdom of some of our investor and supporter banks. Already, State Bank of Arthur and Peoples Bank & Trust are involved! We're looking forward to adding a few more names this week.
