We finished week 3 with the grand opening of our new school store. I wanted this version of the school store to be more like a real store so we added some food items, higher priced items, and clothing. We had a lot of excitement but not a lot of buying since our items are mostly in the $5 to $10 range and kids don't carry money to school. I think next week will bring some money and more sales. The sales that we got were for the spirit wear. We have 3 new logos and 2 new colors. We are selling t shirts, hoodies and polo shirts for our first offering and will be selling coats, women's style hoodies, and knit caps for the colder weather. We sold over 50 items in one day so we are off to a good spirit wear start. All of the proceeds will go back to the school to be used in school wide activities.
Spectrum Academy is new so it needs to build an identity. The logos and shirts help give an identity and solidifies our strength and longevity to future kids can see that we have a bright future and their school experience will be rich. We also want to build on events like the Autos for Autism and create a community presence. We are in negotiation with some local business to do some cross promotional events that will help us partner with businesses and create work opportunities for these students.
