Feedback from Jenny Grahame (The client)

By Kirk Kemp | Published: May 10, 2010
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

By timXP | Published: May 4, 2010
We have received some feedback about our magazine already, Jenny Graham said "MedieMe looks great. Works really well with the colour, etc. Mega achievement."

More interestingly, in my opinion, however, was the feedback we received from Mary Berrisford at Islington who said "We've just put the underground map on the wall and are fighting about who is on the coolest line (that's the teachers not the 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 more feedback"

This is great, because she specifically mentioned the piece i worked on, and even though she said the teachers cared about it more than the students, it has caused the response i was hoping for and clearly was worth doing.

financial accounts and costs

By Tara Cox blog work | Published: May 4, 2010

Shown below are my personal notes and copies of the financial accounts and costs for the print and distribution of our personal newspaper. It shows the outgoing costs so purchases for printing the newspaper and postage etc, and also shows the ingoing costs, such as the adverts costs, and copies of the newspaper sold so far.


Accounts


Outgoing costs


We as a class printed 500 copies of the newspaper at a £1 a newspaper, so therefore our overall outgoing costs for the Newspaper club was £500 inc VAT postage for first three orders, which was £11.40.


Income - Ingoing costs


For our incoming costs, we made a considerable amount through adverts.

For the Junction advert, we were given £350 for a newspaper advert.

For the Lincoln advert, we were given £100 for a half page newspaper advert.

For an OCR advert, we were given another £100 for a half page newspaper advert.


Total advertising income is £550 from the 3 adverts.

  • Reigate school bought 120 copies of the newspaper for £60, adding £60 to the income profit.
  • Islington college also bought 40 copies of the newspaper, which adds another £20 to the overall profit.
  • Netherhall school bought another 30 copies of our newspaper, which was another £15 of the profit.
  • Guernsey grammar school bought another 20 copies of the newspaper which adds another £10 to the overall profit made.
  • There were also another 50 free copies/samples, given to the group members (us) the moderator etc.
  • We still need to sell 260 copies of the newspaper, which should increase our profit costs further.
  • We have sold 210 copies of the newspaper so far, which is a great achievement as we have sold almost half of all the newspapers we bought. These newspapers are to be advertised further by Jenny Grahame on OCR teachers site this week, so hopefully we aim to have sold all the copies through this method of advertising.

Total profit including adverts and distribution of newspapers - £655


This therefore in my opinion, is an excellent achievement in terms of a profit. We have made back our outgoing costs simply on adverts, so therefore any costs made now or at a later date, will be further cost and would be additional costs and even more of a profit.
