BrainBuckets Blog #3 (Hardware)

If Brainbuckets is going to be successful we will need to have a large good computing computers to handle the amount of things taking place at once that take a lot of memory to run. For example the designers of out new helmets will being using software like Adobe Photoshop. This program requires a lot of RAM or Memory that allows data to be accessed quickly. Without a large amount of RAM like 12 or 16 gb the designers computers will be start running slowly and won't be efficient for what we need to do on a daily basis.

I am also going to order my computers with 3.0 USB ports for very fast transfer speeds. This way if there are a few people in the office that need a lot of designs they can be transferred in seconds rather then taking 15 minutes just to transfer some files from one computer to another. BrainBuckets is definitely going to benefit  from these Hardware upgrades, it will make working on new things a lot easier.

How Excel is going to help me with Brain Buckets

Knowing how to use Excel is a essential part of getting  a job in todays day and age. Opening and running a company like BrainBuckets I will definitely need to know how it is used. Things like online credit card transactions, budgeting, orders and so on are all made easier with Excel.

BrainBuckets will have a website displaying all our products where consumers can make online purchases,and follow our new product lines to keep up on the yearly trends and what there favorite stars are wearing. When the customer make there online orders having the credit card payment processed through excel will help a lot. Having all of my records on the computer will make things like taxes a easy process instead of trying to file through mounds of paperwork.

Processes orders with mountains so they can maintain a stock of our helmets will also be important if we want people to buy our products. Having all of the mountains send us spread sheets of how many helmets they have left will let us ship them new helmets fast so there is always inventory for the customers to purchase.

BrainBuckets Blog #1 (Social Media)

The company I will be creating is is called BrainBuckets. It is a Helmet manufacturing company specifically focusing on helmets for teenage snowboarders and skiers. Many teenagers don't wear there helmets at ski mountains because they say "They don't match my style i can't wear that". BrainBuckets will make that different, supplying colorful stylish helmets to teens.

BrainBuckets has the possibility of being a great up and coming company and marketing this to make people informed about it and have shelf space and mountain ski shops will be a vital process to the success. Having a Facebook page and a twitter will let us inform people who are into skiing and snowboarding about our new company so they can purchase or products. Once they know about us and start to follow us we can update them on new product lines helping us sell more products .

In Conclusion BrainBuckets is the next up and coming manufacturer in the skiing and snowboard industry. We are going to reach our target market of teenagers of teenagers through social networking and get as many people to follow us as possible so we can keep them updated on new products and become the top selling brand and be in mountains around the country.
