Back for her 2nd summer at Explo, Manasa is revved up to create new products and learn all about marketing strategies to help her fulfill her dreams of starting her own company.
My business courses at Explo have sparked what I might want to do for my career. Right now, we’re selling Explo bags for my Sell Out Workshop. Besides teaching us how to sell a product, we’re using the money we raise for the Explo scholarship fund, so more people can have a chance to come and experience all the fun here. In our class, we’re learning about how to execute, sell, market, and advertise products. We’ve learned important strategies like hitting consumers with different forms of media, so we’ve made commercials and posters, and performed skits in front of Explo.
I definitely think that the lessons I learn at Explo will help me after the summer is over. Even in just the first week, I’ve learned how to interact with people and advertise my own product. If I were to open my own business, my dream would be to create and sell something that solves a global issue. Probably something dealing with water purification or world hunger because they’re such huge issues that people face.
The thing I love most about Explo is that there are people from all around the world here. Even in my just first week, I’ve made friends from so many countries. I think having so many friends from all over is great because if I were to go into my own business, I’d have friends and connections everywhere I travel.
