Feedback from Jenny Grahame (The client)

Alex (liason) has recently recieved feedback from Jenny which he has sent onto the others within the group (including myself). Shown below is the feedback we recieved from Jenny


Dear Alexander and team

I just wanted (very belatedly) to congratulate you on a magnficent
achievement in getting the newspaper together to deadline and in such a
clear and attractive format. It looks very good, and as you probably
already know, schools are gagging for it - not an easy market to break into,
so well done to all of you. Am currently rounding up a long list of orders -
given the declining state of the newspaper industry, you appear to be
bucking a trend, which is rather brilliant!

Best wishes, and very good luck to you all

Jenny



I am very pleased with the feedback from Jenny as it clearly shows her raw appreciation for what we have done and also the sense that she feels as if there will be a future for the newspaper (when she speaks about the newspaper industry) which of course is a very good thing as it means that we may be able to carry on producing / printing the newspaper in order to gain a higher profit purhaps. Overall Jenny's feedback is very positive and I am pleased with the outcome of the newspaper evenmore so after viewing / reading through the feedback from our client (Jenny Grahame)

Feedback on newspaper


We have recieved some feedback from the people who have purchased copies of our mediame newspaper, shown below is the feedback we recieved.

“We've just put the undergroundmap on the wall and are fighting about who is on the coolest line(that's teachers not students by the way!) Initial reaction is that we can't wait to use it in the classroom -could be a few more bigger images in there...We'll use it with students next week (weds) and email you some morefeedback”

Accounts - financial


Shown below are the costs for this project (MediaMe newspaper)

Outgoing costs (Money out) :

Cost for 500 copies from newspaper club (printers) : £500 including VAT

Postage cost for first three orders : £11.40

Income (Money in)

Junction advert : £350

Lincoln university advert : £100 

OCR advert : £100  

Guernsey Grammar purchased -> 20 copies : £10

Reigate purchased -> 120 copies : £60

Islington purchased -> 40 copies : £20

Netherhall purchased -> 30 copies : £15

free samples and copies for media group members & moderator : 50 Copies

The total amount that we have received so far from selling copies and getting adverts is : £655

Which means we currently have a profit of: £145 (Aprox) 

After looking over our account information we have realised that we still need to sell 240 copies of our mediame newspaper in order to sell all of our newspapers.

Overall I believe that we have done very well, financially we are stable and we have currently made a profit and we are in the position whereby we are selling copies of mediame which of course will increase are overall profit for the project.
