Considering Further Research

I have dedicated a half day to study today as I have had to work this morning. Despite this, I have had a productive day working on my report. I have written around 5,000 words now this is a very good start. Once I have got a solid 6,000 words – which I am happy with, and which I feel read very well – I will start working on my promotional material.

I have also started looking into a proofreading service; this is something I would only use once I have 100% sure that my document was ‘finished’ and ‘perfect’ in my eyes. Today I have been working on the ‘competitors’ and ‘people’ sections of the report mainly.

Other than this I have been looking into different places which I may be able to visit before the submission of this campaign. Please see the Education Show at the NEC below:

Opening Times:
09.30 - 17.00 (16.00 on Saturday 19 March)

The Education Show is the UK’s largest general educational resources event. It has been going over 20 years and has recently celebrated its 20th Anniversary.
The Education Show is the host to over 470 exhibitors and has five CPD seminar theatres focussing on Early Years, Primary, Secondary, Special Educational Needs and Leadership.

Visitors who attend the show can find thousands of inspirational ideas and new resources and suppliers for their schools!

So far I have received heavily into the ‘fun’ side of the LSF, with extensive research into the marketing of activity zones and adventure centres. However, I must extend this research to look into the education sector. This would satisfy the two key brand attributes ‘fun’ and ‘education’ to ensure a well-rounded project.

I am currently waiting on email replies from Joanna and UCLan and also Aissa at Hot Munkey. Once I have received email replies from these two I will be able to make further progress with the written aspect of my report. However, until then I feel that it would be wise to spend my day tomorrow collating secondary research, or even continuing with the annotation of the primary research I have gathered so far. For example that which I have started annotating on word documents, and also the mound of leaflets, brochures and postcards which I have collected to this date.

Tomorrow I will work on this research, and also redraft the report one more time.
