Assessing The Printing Quotes

So far we have received 5 quotes back from the companies we have contacted. Some were expensive, and way out of our price range, but these companies are for proper companies who can afford to spend that much on producing 100 copies.
However, we have received some very reasonably priced quotes, which we can afford. We just need to confirm on the product layout, and the number of copies we want to produce, as some printing companies can offer a minimum batch of 50, rather than 100. If we made 100, we may not sell them all, and that will result in a waste of precious money.

Meeting No. 8

Sammy and Rob could not make today's meeting, for their own reasons, but we still went ahead, and met Marie as planned. Previously we had used the Conference Room for our meetings, but today we wanted to show Marie this blogspot, and the emails we have sent and received, regarding the quotes from the printing companies.
Billy had been away with the school for the last couple of days, so Harry and Andy had to inform him as well as Marie on what they have been up to in the last week.
We also talked about the meeting on Monday we were going to have, and when and where we would meet on that day. It will most important that we take notes in this meeting, as this will definitely be used in our final business plan.
Next week we be vital in the challenge, because it will be the week when we confirm our product, and start to manufacture our product. We will have to work especially hard, even though we have been already!
