Car wash at the campus
Unfortunately, it was a single action, otherwise the corner spot of the campus in Arnhem would be a very very busy place. On the side of the Car engineering-premises, three students spent three hours washing cars for the small sum of four Euros per hour. At most car washes, you have to pay at least twice as much, or even more.
Earn as much as possible
The action was part of a project of the course Management, within the minor entrepreneurship, which the students follow. 'We had to earn as much money as possible within three hours, the time we would otherwise sit in class', Bram Spruijt says, fourth-year student Technical Information Science. 'With that, it was important to keep the costs low'.
Work it baby, work!
Rik Krijnen, third-year student Car Engineering tells: 'One of the students from our group had the idea to wash cars. A few of us study Car Engineering, so that made it easier to arrange it, and the costs were not too high.' But a more difficult thing was to find the costumers… 'We handed out flyers'. And the result? 'The costumers keep coming, cars stand in line to get washed. In advance, we calculated 20 minutes time for one car, so that is nine cars within three hours. But after one and a half hour, we had already washed eight cars. That is because we could wash two cars at the same time'. The result of the action will be discussed during the next lesson, just as all the other actions. One of them was the HAN-taxi which transported students and employees of the HAN from Presikhaaf to the campus. For only fifty cents! What a good buy!
