Student Groups and Organizations
Student groups and organizations are the most important part of our collegiate plan. These
groups helped us make the most sales of all our distribution channels by bringing us on
campus for events such as tailgates and homecoming. We plan on utilizing these on-
campus groups and organizations more fully with a new and redesigned student brand
manager program.
So, as you can see, we have many different angles in play as far as our collegiate
FANSHOES go, but we feel a different approach has to be taken with respect to the World
CUP FANSHOES.
That being said, we do not currently have a definitive distribution channel for our World
Cup FANSHOES, but we are actively seeking retail outlets to carry them. We are going to
continue to sell through our web-store, but we are confident that brick-and-mortar retail
shops around the world would be the best fit for this product. We are actively entertaining
different distribution options at this time. Below is a list of the benefits a retailer can
