Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Challenge/Opportunity:

- Arts on the Ave operates a volunteer powered coffeehouse, the Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse. All the revenue from the coffeehouse goes to our many projects. Some of our projects include festivals such as Deep Freeze and Kaleido Family Arts Festival.

- Before COVID-19 we were able to host various events at our coffeehouse like a wine and cheese night, band performances, artisans market.

- Many local companies sell us their products such as sunshine blends (kombucha), Detour Coffee, Grizzly Paw, Bon Ton Bakery.

- With government costs and COVID-19, it has presented various challenges for our coffeehouse.

-The coffeehouse acts as a space where our staff can work and our executive director can meet important people as well as conducting our coffee business as usual.

Our goal at the end of this experience is:

● Market Research - For the students to help The Carrot gain a better understanding how

to communicate with our target market and ensure our products and pricing aligns with

our target sector/customer.

● Prospecting Strategy - For the students to help The Carrot implement better prospecting

that increases conversion rates and boost our sales.

● SEO Strategy & Recommendations - For the students to help us generate more traffic

and revenue through search engines.

● Strategic Social Media Marketing - For the students to help us improve our online

presence, reach more customers, and effectively promote our brand through compelling

content.
