To Promote the One Stop Prom Shop, a student came to the class with an idea on Tuesday to create a Harlem Shake video. Most of the class didn't even know what it was or even what to expect. In class we watched videos on it, then we realized it was a lot more popular than we had thought. The Harlem Shake had been done by an army, college students, pets, and a lot more. We researched even more to make sure it was school appropriate, and began to plan. On wednesday we went to the two other marketing classes to get as many students as we could to participate. On thursday the plans went into action and we created the video within a half an hour. Within twenty four hours the video had about 900 youtube videos, 200 Facebook views, 48 Twitter retweets, and 28 favorites. It also helped us gain 15 twitter followers. We will continue to track our progress to see how many views we can get.
Last year the senior marketing class held a prom trade show called the One Stop Prom Shop. This year the junior class decided to take on the task of holding another One Stop Prom Shop. Knowing it had to be bigger and better they have asked the senior marketing and interactive media classes to help. Each class had different aspects of the Prom Shop to work on. To market we're using social media and an assembly. For social media the senior class have used Twitter and Instagram, and asked all classes to participate and spread the word. The assembly is one of the most important parts and what we've worked very hard on. The assembly involves all the classes. Everyone was needed in order for the assembly to be organized and run smoothly. Their is a dance, video, game show, and an informational slide show. The dance was organized by interactive media and same with the video with help from the juniors. The juniors needed prospects for people to be at the show with help from the seniors who helped find prospects and raffle items. The assembly has brought all of the classes together and allowed to work as a huge team. Every part is very important and when it all comes together it will create a perfect show.
