1.Letter to shareholders



Dear shareholders,
Simply Cool SC
Annual Report
4

It is with great dissatisfaction that the Simply Cool student company is looking at its final results,
which will end the entire entity of the company.
We were only able to sell 148 of the 300 ordered Products. The company has not reached its break-
even point and therefore failed in achieving its ambitions. This can be explained through various
reasons. First of all, the estimated demand, for our product predicted form the survey we launched in
the beginning of the project did not meet the actual demand. Regardless our consecutive attendance on
markets and other sales occasions, it has been rather difficult to sell our products. The first market was
the weekly market located in Middelburg. Our expectations for this market were rather low due to the
competition. Numerous Student Companies form the HZ and surroundings were present and also
trying to sell their products. We surprisingly sold more than expected. Nevertheless, it was not
spectacular either. The second attend for selling was during the open days at the University of Applied
Sciences in Vlissingen. This event was a total fail for the company. The target group was inappropriate
because it did not come to buy anything but to obtain information about the school and its study
programs. A third attempt was made during queens day. We divided the group to different selling
points. One was located in Goes, the other in Vlissingen. Our enthusiasm was high due to the large
amount of people that would go out to celebrate the day. However this times, our product was
inappropriate, especially its price. A lot of other persons were selling unutilized things for a very
cheap price. Furthermore a great difficulty at the various markets was the language barrier. As only a
part of the group was sufficiently fluent in Dutch and customers seemed to avoid English speaking
companies. Although we decided to drop the price to attract customers, the companys sales peaked.
However, we were not meeting the required numbers of sales. Furthermore, we negotiated with other
Student Companies, and offered them, to take their products to the various markets for a share of the
profit, we were also not able, to sell their products. Additionally the company has taken the
opportunity to participate to lunch sales in the Atrium of the HZ during the course of the semester as
well as the exposure of product in the bookshop at school. But those two others opportunities did not
work out either. Furthermore, a draw back and lack of interest by potential customers can be explained
due to the bad weather conditions in the past period. As our products is mainly supposed, to keep
beverages cold however cold weather conditions were not supporting the demand for the product.
Another problem can be indentified internally, by a lack of communication, trust and effort put into
the project between the different departments and members. As indicated in the half-year report,
position rotation occurred at the end of the first semester, to give other members of the group,
challenge and opportunities to step up. Nevertheless, the interaction with members according to their
new functions was ineffective or members were unable to cope with the given task.
Nevertheless, the company is looking now at the positive side. The student company project had
enabled each member to acquire great knowledge and skills in the business field as well as human
resource with teamwork, communication, conflicts and liabilities. All members grew stronger from

this experience, which will be undoubtedly useful for the professional path in the future. In addition,
our company is very delighted for the great support from our shareholders. Your support had been
much appreciated and we hope to obtain it once again for further occasions.
Sincerely,
