Business.

I just had an idea, try selling some kind of bracelets or rings that come in different colors of have designs them. You may end up creating the new fad, like silly bands lol.

 

That's a great idea, however it's a single gender male school.

 

Oh yea that may be a problem....hmm...im not sure, catering to an all male market is hard.

 

I'm gonna share my idea, as I'm not against you, technically. It requires a large investment, but could pay off hugely. I suggested this, and my team didn't like the risk, so I'm doing it out of school.

ayo waddup homie, selling wristbands are always great and cheap, stylish thing aswell, if some of the money went to charity it would also sell more and then whenever people see the wristband they know that guy donated, good luck

 

The best advice I can give you is to think OUTSIDE of the box. Everyone in your class is going to create a product, or something that seems straight forward.

If you REALLY want to be successful, you need a unique market.

Some people say business is about seeing a need and filling a need...

but successful business is about creating a need and then filling that need.

Put your audience in a position to need you, and then come to their rescue.

 

Haven't read through all of the posts so this has probably already been mentioned.

Get a costco membership and just stock up on bulk pop, water bottles, candy and other food items that are overpriced at your school (vending machine/caf). You could still sell at a cheap price and make a lot of profit. Although some schools wouldn't allow you to overrun their vending machines.

 

Pencils and Pens maybe?
Or a stress bag or whatever those bags fill with flour are
Or a usb drive/abilty to rent one of those

 

Paper, everyone needs paper.

 

This is dumb.

Gatorade, and I bet you will win.

Also, candy bars, gum, etc.

Freshmen and sophmores eat that shit up.
