Excitement, Controversy Surround
Tourism Board Contest
The Haspanton Tourism Board has caused a stir with its latest event, the “#MyHaspanton Contest” The contest offers $1,000 to the person who creates a short video that best embodies Haspanton. Videos must be posted to the social media platform Shoutster and tagged with “#MyHaspanton.” The winner will be determined by a combination of the number of “Likes” that each video receives and votes to be submitted by members of the tourism board.
The contest was dreamed up by Ella Forte, the board's newest member as well as its only one under 35. In a phone call yesterday, Ms. Forte said the contest “makes use of both technology and Haspanton's greatest resource—its people.” It has certainly been met with enthusiasm from Shoutster users. Nearly 80 videos have been posted so far, and they have garnered more than 10,000 “Likes” in total.
However, not everyone is pleased with the contest. At last week's city council meeting, local restaurant owner Emest Mathews complained that the board was essentially ignoring the ideas of anyone who does not use Shoutster. “Most of my customers are seniors, and none of them are on Shoutster,” he said. “The side of Haspanton that is represented in this contest is too narrow”. In response, Council Member Juanita Padilla said she would urge the board to consider multiple participation methods for future promotions.

The consultant from Welk Material Handling came in this morning to present her ideas for redesigning the Pookvillo warehouse, right? What did you think?
Amy Carroll
3.50 P.M.
Most of her suggestions were great. For example, she recommended setting up an area near the entrance that would have small quantities of the materials that customers order most frequently. That would cut down our retrieval times.
Selena Horvath
3.50 P.M.
That does sound like a good idea. Did she think we'll need to invest in pallet racks, like we suspected?
Amy Carroll
3.51 P.M.
Yes, but only for that special front area. We could keep stacking the rest of the stock on the floor.
Ronald Eguchi
3.51 P.M.
But she also said we should implement a location-finding system with scannable labels.
Selena Horvath
3.52 P.M.
Hmm, that sounds expensive. But I'm sure it has a huge potential to improve our efficiency.
Amy Carroll
3.53 P.M.
Our thoughts exactly. We asked her how long it would take to recover the cost of the system through the increase in productivity, and she said it depends on which provider we choose.
Ronald Eguchi
3. 54 P.M.
We’re looking for a provider that might be willing to offer us a discount for adopting the system in several warehouses instead of just one.
Selena Horvath
3.55 P.M.
Well, we may decide 1o try out the system in one location before implementing it in the others. But that's an interesting idea. Let me know what you find out.
