Sale at the AMA

On March 26, 29, and 30, we had the opportunity to run a booth at the AMA (Aargau Fair Aarau). The AMA attracts over 27,000 visitors annually! Looking back, we can say it was a great success. We had many valuable conversations with customers and were able to actively sell our activity book. Many thanks to everyone who visited us at the AMA.

National Trade Fair

On March 25, we had the opportunity to participate in the NTF (National Trade Fair) at Zurich Main Station. We ran a booth all day and were able to present our product to numerous customers. In addition, we pitched our business model to a jury and demonstrated our knowledge in a subsequent Q&A session. We also received valuable input from the Institute of Intellectual Property. Looking back, we are very proud of our performance. Many thanks to YES for this great event!

Starting now, the second edition of our book "Mit Flo um die Welt" is available at Orell Füssli in Aarau’s main train station. We are grateful for the opportunity to offer our book in one of the largest bookstores in Switzerland.

JA-Marketplace

As one of the regional winners in Switzerland, we had the opportunity to travel to Vienna from March 13 to 16 together with YES and another mini-company to attend the JA Marketplace. On March 15, we ran a booth in the Lugner City Mall in Vienna. We also gave a pitch in front of an international audience. It was a great opportunity to present KIWOKO in a different market as well. We learned a lot and were able to grow and develop as a team. In addition to the official program, we also had the chance to explore the beautiful city of Vienna and expand our knowledge beyond business. Many thanks to YES Swiss and JA Austria for this unique opportunity!

Our book is now available at Aarau Info in the heart of the city. We are grateful for the opportunity to sell our book there.

KIWOKO has been nominated as one of 10 mini-companies for the YES Media Award!

We are looking forward to the day and are excited to gain new experiences. Thank you for the nomination!

Winner of the day Pitch Competition

On February 22, the Pitch Competition took place at UBS in Aarau. There, together with numerous other companies, we presented our business model during a half-day event. Additionally, there was an exciting supporting program from which we gained many entrepreneurial tips. KIWOKO, together with two other mini-companies, secured the daily winner title. We are incredibly proud of this success and look forward to continuing to impress with our business model. Many thanks to YES for this great event!

In-house trade fair

On December 12, the in-house trade fair took place at our school, Alte Kanti Aarau. Together with seven other mini-companies from the Kanti and the WMS, we ran a booth throughout the evening. Fitting for the Christmas season, we wore our Christmas sweaters and offered wrapped books. We also managed to win a school-internal award for the best sales performance.

Christmas markets

Throughout the entire Christmas season, we took pre-orders for our book at Christmas markets in various locations across the canton of Aargau. Since these were our first direct sales events, we were able to greatly improve our sales skills and perfect the organization of our finances, orders, and material logistics. The Christmas season was very successful and has provided a solid foundation for the rest of the business year. We are excited for everything the future holds!
