You really need to stand out there, do something different. Get noticed is key, more important than selling in this case, because of the exposure you will get at this location may payout big time...with some luck.

Affirmation. ...and good things will come.

Thanks Lucy! I think the key for me is to get out there and just talk to people. I know my product isn't for the masses but I think it is key that I draw in anyone that is a potential customer. I think this event will have quite a bit of student traffic (which works in my favor).

My price point is quite high compared with what I feel others are going to be doing. However, I think my product is leaps and bounds ahead of theirs -- the quality and social responsibility aspects. I am donating $2 from every shirt sold to a charity that benefits victims of Agent Orange in Vietnam (during the war). It will be a matter of getting people to buy into the whole concept.
