As usual, there were many different homeform booths at charity week this year. But the booths were not all equally successful. So, what makes a charity week booth successful? What do North Toronto students want from a charity booth? After interviewing a variety of students the answer was almost unanimous. Most of the interviewees preferred booths that offered food or the opportunity to win a prize. Some of these preferred booths were the grilled cheese booth, the 50\/50 draw booth, and the
\nXbox 360 and android smartphone raffle booth. Grilled cheese is always a
\npopular item at NT\u2019s charity week, along with the 50\/50 draw. NT is home to
\nmany tech savvy students, thus raffle tickets for Xbox 360 and the android
\nsmartphone were a hot item. Students thought location was also a contributing
\nfactor for the success of a homeform\u2019s booth. Homeforms were not allowed to
\nsell food in the commons this year. Homeforms selling food were forced to sell
\nin the hallway on the main floor. Students found this to be an issue because
\nthe hallway didn\u2019t provide enough space for students to lineup; and students
\nlooking at the booths were pushed forward past the booths by other students
\ntrying to get through the hallway. Fortunately for the grilled cheese booth,
\nthey were given the spot in front of the office. While this may have been a
\ngood thing for the homeform selling grilled cheese, the office staff didn\u2019t
\nenjoy the large crowds of people blocking the office doors waiting to buy
\ngrilled cheese. So, if you are looking to make your charity week booth
\nsuccessful, make sure you snag a good location and actually offer a product or
\nservice that appeals to most of the NT student demographic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
