Holy Souls Card Company meeting 4

Today we completed our business plan.
We discussed that we need to buy, card, envelopes, shiny cover, Sacramental pictures for Holy Communion and Confirmation and labels

We talked about conducting market research (asking parents) if they would but the cards and how much they would be willing to pay. We thought about how we could sell these cards to our parents, create our own shop or bring them out at the end of the school day.
