Our company will advertise thousands of Halal food products online. The main problem we are trying to solve is gathering detailed information about available Halal food market stores and vendors in the main cities in Ontario province to build our database for potential retailers and vendors who will list their products on our platform.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Ask for referrals: Contact information and meaningful endorsements from colleagues, friends, customers, other retailers, and vendors.
• Check Halal websites and publications: Including trade organizations, associations, guilds, regulatory boards, certification agencies, and newsletters.
• Google it: Use a variety of specific phrases, try adding your geographical location, and pay close attention to any paid ads that appear
• Call local associations or the BBB: Most cities have an economic development organization or professional resource center that will offer vendor listings with background information, historical data, previous complaints or grievances, etc.
• 
  

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Identify From the gathered information of retailer and vendor which ones are right for you.
• Retailers and Vendors' business size and scale.
• Create retailers and vendors pre-qualifying questions.
• Analysis of retailers' and Vendor's customer reviews.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Full information about halal food retailers and vendors in Ontario main cities along with their business size and customer reviews.

Final deliverables should include:

• A final report.
• A 10-minute presentation.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Our website, products and services
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
