Did you know I own an Inn? I didn't either. But that was the part I played at the DECA competitions. I was a resort owner who was looking to "marketing consultants" (students) to bring senior citizens to my Inn. They brought me their ideas on what they would do to attract seniors. I had 5 different pairs to judge. Two sets of girls were really good and I sent them on to state competitions by giving them high scores. Two were in the middle and the other set didn't do so well. They have 30 minutes to prepare but those two boys thought that charm would send them through. Oh well. Lesson learned. Hopefully.
It was hard not to laugh at some of their ideas. Most were great but the boys I mentioned they wanted to put animated jungle animals outside because "old" people like exotic adventures like safaris (in the Smokey Mountains? OK?)
Have a great day!
