Week 1 Day 1


I start every day at 8:30 and work until 3:30 with an hour long lunch break. At the beginning of the first week all I really did was and Excel Spreadsheet that contained Groupon Statistics. Basically, I would go onto Groupon and look at the products our company was managing and then seeing how many coupons were sold for each product and to which specific teams. I did this for all NFL teams, NHL teams, MLB teams, and a few NCAA teams. What I've learned so far is if you put the Dallas Cowboys, New York Yankees, or Chicago Blackhawks logos on any product it’ll sell. On the other hand things with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Baltimore Orioles, or the Minnesota Wild (NHL team I hadn’t ever heard of them) they will not sell anything. Seeing how some of these companies have over 50,000 sells on Groupon alone puts into perspective how big the sporting product industry is, as Groupon plays a rather small part in many of the companies we represent. For those who don’t know what Groupon is, it’s essentially a site that sells products at discounts even though they aren’t actually discount they just want people to think they are.
