For our Final Documentation we have given a link to a business LinkedIn we created for this project. Inside is a bio and video we made. In the the video it shows us dressed in medieval themed clothes and setting up a similar medieval-like market stand at a park. In the video our stall caught the attention of park-goers that successfully achieved the public interaction we wanted as we gave out "produce goods" made out of rocks and wood painted to look like real foods such as bread, fruits, and fish to try and spread the message to support small businesses over big corrupt major business with a sign of our made sentence: "Resist and Revoke Global Businesses". We also attempted to make an Instagram profile to promote our small business but it was immediately suspended.

When starting this project, we had a base idea of what to expect, which was to educate the public on the importance of small businesses. What we didn’t expect is that we’d leave it having learned a lesson ourselves. We experienced many trials while attempting to set up our stand, the wind was constantly knocking us down, and our foundations were falling apart due to the unsteady ground. We almost gave up entirely that day, planning on coming back during better weather. The thing that made us decide to stay for a bit was a little kid coming up to our stand and asking us what we were doing. Although the circumstances were hard it was the community around us that gave us the motivation to persevere, and that made us realize the real reason small businesses needed a resurgence. The community that is built around small businesses makes groups of people stronger as a whole and allows us to persist in the face of challenges.

To plan to make the stall out of cardboard and wood along with dressing up to match the theme. We also will be making our "products" of goods to be made out of rocks and scrape wood pieces and have to painted to look like food you would typically find at a market, such as bread, fruits, and fish. Location wish we believe a park would be best since that is usually where most farmers markets take place that fits on brand with our theme and has the most foot traffic of people that we hope will interact and engage with our small business stall. And lastly online visibility-wise we're are thinking of making a LinkedIn Business profile where we will upload a video to simulate how actual small businesses try to get themselves out there to find customers.

For our ideas for project is to have a public display in a public space like in the street or in a grocery store. We had several where we would put our words onto paper or some kind of sign sand place them in different isles. Another idea was to write our words on a rotating box similar to a rotating display sign, and the last idea was to make a logo-like sticker that we can place around on the street in visible areas such as light poles
