Marianne: November 2009 Archives

ABOVE: Miguel (far left) and I with some of the franchisees in North Bungoma.

Miguel and I met with the franchisees today. It is my first experience of rural Kenya and of meeting our franchisees. We decided to spend the day talking to them and discussing how sales have been and what they need to help them expand their business.

As well as this, I also showed them the ideas we've had for new products. They liked the range of ideas and were excited to see what they could potentially be selling in the future.

Our plans are now to spend the week with every franchisee visiting schools in their area, generating interest in solar and getting some people together for a focus group at the end of the week.

More updates soon...
