Differentiation  Every year, students look forward to new t-shirts as a way to demonstrate their school pride. As of this year, no t-shirt has captivated the students.  Ireland trip and sports – shirts limited to a specific event  Our product- not associated with a particular school event or team and can therefore be appropriate for any Gonzaga activity.  Sales strategy- sports events, alumni meetings, mixers, bookstore  Half of our profits go to our service partner.

Conclusion  After extensive thought, we have reached a consensus that this T-Shirt will be the best possible way to profit most from Gonzaga students.  Only two (2) T-Shirts have been sold this school year, and we figure this will be the best method for paying back the loan, donating half our proceeds to our non- profit, and being able to make enough money for a possible second order.
