This week in class I specialized on working on the 200
dollar project. My group split into two focus groups one for the storefront
project and one for the 200 dollar project. Amelia and I worked on the 200
dollar project. Originally we had kind of unique idea of flipping dolls we both
own that are worth a lot of money now on ebay. However, after considering that
neither of us really have an experience or expertise with ebay we switched
ideas. We then looked into creating BHS 2015 holiday ornaments. We thought
through how we would sell them, the demographic we would sell to, and the price
they would be sold at. After seeing that this would have a high price, narrow demographic,
and difficult ways to sell we went back to the drawing board for more ideas. We
started talking to the rest of our group Jack and Dan and came up with the idea
of making BHS athletic basketball crew socks. With this idea we headed to the
internet in search of a website that we could create these socks on. We did
this with a couple thoughts in mind: the price, the design, and the ease in
ordering them. We stumbled upon many websites many that did not have the right
design options for our product we even looked into airo sports the sports good
shop around the corner from the highschool. Finally, we decided that making
custom elite socks (a brand of sock) would be best. Going forward we now look
to order the socks and sell them as soon as they arrive. We already know that
the lacrosse and basketball teams would both like to buy our products which is
more than enough customers for the order size we would have so we are not
concerned about selling the socks.
I suspect that there might be a larger market for this than you're anticipating. Starting with basketball and lacrosse is great; but I'll bet you can work with Kyle Williams and really expand sales of this. Have you spoken with Ben about working through Super Fans? Get these socks ordered as soon as you can so that you can start drumming up business!
