Kingi, Marcella
This module on owning and operating a sewing service is one of 36 in a series on entrepreneurship. The introduction tells the student what topics will be covered and suggests other modules to read in related occupations. Each unit includes student goals, a case study, and a discussion of the unit subject matter. Learning activities are divided into individual activities, discussion questions, and a group activity. Units (and subject matter) in this module are planning your business (services, customers, and competition; personal qualities; how to compete well; special business image); choosing a location (things to consider); getting money to start (resume; business description; statement of financial need); being in charge (tasks; selecting job applicants; personal interview and references; keeping people happy); organizing the work (work orders; doing the work; checking the work); setting prices (costs, expenses, and profit; supply and demand); advertising and selling (choosing advertising media; qualities of a good ad); keeping financial records (cash sales; customer account form; daily cash sheet); and keeping your business successful (keeping track of profits; profit/loss statement; improving profits).
