"Hello! Would you please help me?  I´m a big nature lover from Québec and I would be very interested to know the nature of your country better. In addition to my hobby I also study nature and especially ridges.
 
I would be very satisfied if you would suggest me a route to introduce me to the most beautiful and most precious ridges of the Lake Finland. My schedule is such that I have one week to use to this purpose.
 
Thank you a lot in advance for your worthy help!

"Hey there!

I write to you to get some advice to make my tour to Finland unforgettable. My name is Jennifer and I live in Columbia, Pennsylvania. I work as marketing assistant in a glass factory which is specialized in wedding glassware and gifts (http://www.theglassfactory.com/index.htm).

I am proud to bring out that my ancestors come from Finland (the west coast). I have made plans for many years to visit the country of my forefathers and now I at last have the opportunity to do it.

I ask you to give me hints of places which would give me an opportunity to enjoy Finnish glass art. My plan is to travel from Vaasa (that is the place where my roots are) along the coast to Turku. There I`ll lodge with my friend and she has promised me to make some tours from Turku to glass factories, studios and galleries.

All hints are received with gratitude!

Greetings, Jennifer"

Markkinointiviestintä: Puheluiden soitto (ja viimeinen koulupäivä!!)

pakcct.com

Teimme yhteistyötä Keskiaikamarkkinoiden kanssa ja soittelimme heidän puolestaan puheluita myyden tapahtuman ruokailu-ohjelmaa. Itse puheluiden soitto ei niinkään jännittänyt, koska ajattelin aina että he eivät koskaan tule näkemään mua. Soittelimme pääasiassa liittoihin ja siellä vastailtiinkin oikein asiallisesti, jopa ystävällisestikin mikä oli mulle suurin yllätys. En koskaan ole puhelinmyyntiä tehnyt joten oli ihan kiva saada siitä pientä kokemusta. Ties vaikka joskus joutuisi myymään tuotetta tai tuotetta tällä tavalla.
Mitä olen oppinut?
Kannattaa soitella ainakin puoli vuotta ennen tapahtumaa, sillä silloin yrityksillä on aikaa miettiä ja niihin aikoihin he suunnilleen saattavat olla suunnittelemassa jotakin virkistäytymispäivää.

Tämä oli myös viimeinen koulupäivä! Söimme jätskiä, sipsiä, karkkia ja limua. Kyllä kelpasi. Hieno vuosi takana, jossa oppia on tullut enemmän kuin koskaan osasin kuvitellakaan. Haikeasti kuitenkin lähdemme työharjoitteluun, sillä aivan loistavia kanssaopiskelijoita jää taaksepäin. Ei tosin varmastikaan kaikki ;)
