(Inner City Self-Help Program.) Final Project Performance Report, July 1-December 31, 1982

摘要

Rebound Building Materials Salvage has become better established. Activities have been primarily in the areas of inventory and sales development, warehouse organization and future planning. Inventory during this period included wood doors, fiberglass doors, shelving, plywood, large mirrors, door jambs, wood gutters, wood frame windows, and miscellaneous kitchen appliances. Packets including introductory material and donation forms have been prepared for distribution to prospective contributors. They are being sent to plumbing installers, office building managers, cabinet installers, electrical contractors, and building material distributors. Marketing of the program has been done through news releases and ads in several community newspapers and Seattle's daily newspapers. Our best promotion, though, has been through word of mouth in our target community. Looking towards the future, a business plan has been outlined with a preliminary calculation of what sales volume will be required for Rebound to be self-supporting. These figures and projections will be used and refined during these next months as we work towards increasing and balancing Rebound's marketable inventory, sales activity and operating resources.
