(Dennis B. Chan)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Saipan Southern High School\u2019s Junior Achievement program, an entrepreneurship club that teaches the practical experience of running a business, will be selling phone charms at the Street Market this Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The club has named their product company \u201cPacific Bauble.\u201d According to adviser Jonathan Aguon, the club recently settled on phone charms as their competitive product for next year\u2019s JA competition against Kagman High School.<\/p>\n<p>The students are now working on the marketing side of the competition, he said.<\/p>\n<p>At yesterday\u2019s club meeting, students edited a commercial they shot for their phone charms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe practice our business skills, teamwork, preparation, and cooperation, and market strategies like targeting certain ages groups,\u201d said club president Yvonne Indalecio.<\/p>\n<p>Since her time in the club, she has learned that social awareness is important because in business, \u201cif you don\u2019t have a target demographic, you don\u2019t have a purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said that Commonwealth Development Authority\u2019s Carline Sablan has been instrumental in getting their club going. Indalecio said Sablan \u201cbroke it down for us\u201d and made us ask, \u201cIs our product realistic?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you make it appeal to a certain group, you have a focus. With that focus, you make the product. If you\u2019re socially-aware, you can notice how some girls love pink things, love cute things\u2026and go, \u2018Alright, I\u2019ll make a pink, cute product.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The charms they are selling this Thursday came out of that social awareness, she said. \u201cEveryone has phones too,\u201d she said, and some people have earphone jacks that get \u201cmessed up\u201d so charms can protect them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s perfect,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The charms are either rubber or metal and come in many different designs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saipan Southern High School\u2019s Junior Achievement program, an entrepreneurship club that teaches the practical experience&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":186998,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[56,1236,67,867],"class_list":["post-186978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-business-3","tag-junior-achievement","tag-people","tag-street-market"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/186998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=186978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=186978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
