The main goal for the project is to expand the presence of Runner's Club products in stores, establish business relationships with manufacturers, offer printing and advertising services to local businesses, and create designs for apparel collections. This will involve several different steps for the learners, including:

- Researching and identifying potential stores for product placement

- Contacting manufacturers to initiate business relationships

- Emailing local businesses to offer printing and advertising services

- Creating designs for apparel collections that align with the company's brand and mission

By the end of the project, learners should complete the following list of activities:

- A list of potential stores for product placement with contact information

- Communication records with manufacturers and progress in establishing business relationships

- Email templates and responses from local businesses regarding printing and advertising services

- Apparel designs that reflect the brand and mission of Runner's Club

Final deliverables:

- A comprehensive report detailing the research and outreach efforts for product placement, business relationships, and local business services

- Visual representations of apparel designs

- Presentation materials for pitching the designs and business opportunities
