Our group want to propose an action plan for promoting conical hat, a well-know traditional crafts of our country.
The first part of the plan, we want to provide young people, especially students like us, with knowledge about this product. Young people should know about conical hat’s history, symbolization, the making process, ect… so they understand why we need to promoting it and keep it alive even in the current modern life. After that, we should organize some fairs or festival for conical hat and even other traditional crafts to increase the sale of these products. Last but not least, we can produce conical hats for different purposes instead of only for wearing. In this days and age, conical hats are no longer a conventional accessory for the majority of our population. However, we can create more unique and artistic conical hats for decorating home or dance and music performance. It can also be a way to increase the sale of this product.
We hope our plan can help to promote conical hats in the future. Thanks for listening!
