Distribution


Today in sports marketing we learned how distribution works. Distribution is how to get your product from point a to point b. In the activity we had to distribute salt from one cup to the other and water from one cup to another. The cups that had the water and salt were considered factories, which meant we could not pick up or tilt the cup. What made it difficult was we only had 3 tools to use to distribute the "product", a spoon, napkin, and a straw. My team decided as i suck the water through the straw and held it in my mouth the other team would scoop out the salt onto the napkin with the spoon. Even though the goal seemed hard the plan helped us out and came 3rd place in the class. A good distribution plan is to businesses because it helps you get the product from your factories, to the stores, without losing any product on the way.

My favorite food is mexican food. My hobbies are listening to music and playing soccer. I rarely watch T.V. but one of my favorite shows is PTI. My favorite subject in school is math. Ive liked math ever since i was a little kid, and im good at it too. My strengths are being competative and a hard worker. My weaknesses are sometimes getting lazy and slacking off. When i have a test i usually study but if i know its a easy class or test i wont. I would like to learn everything there is to learn about the involment of business. I really dont know how to divide the work in my team. I would make a good team member because im hard working.
