PROCESS before assessment

So far, 100 T-shirts have been sold. The news of the Charity Tee are all over the internet, fashion forums, and also about 30 have been sold through shops in London. Some are also shipped to countries like Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, New York and Malaysia.

At the moment, I can say it has impacted the world, however how can I improve on this? Shall I make more? or build upon the campaign? The result amount I've raised was just over £500, which is something I'm really pleased about. Lets see how I can take this forward in the near future.

Posting out orders

I've managed to ship out some orders today. Most of the people who ordered outside UK are willing to pay extra for postage, therefore I've roughly estimated the cost as £5 for out side UK and £3 within the UK. Although the postage to the rest of the world ends up at around £6, but this broke even, when postage to the UK was cheaper than I thought. So, no loss or no gain here.

Google Ranking

Was just checking google to see if my Haiti Charity Tee will pop up. To my surprise, it ranked 5th in all the thousands of results. I think it might have been 1st or 2nd if I check maybe 3 weeks ago, as three of the links/projects were started after my project. Nevertheless, I am extremely happy about how close it is to the top of a google search page.

Haiti Charity Tee - BAPE x Gene Krell

Description:
A BATHING APE has created this t-shirt alongside fashion director Gene Krell (of Vogue Japan/GQ Japan) as a fundraising campaign for the people of Haiti. The white t-shirt features a front print with a map of Haiti and the sun. The back features the quote “The Sun Will Shine Again On The People of Haiti… One Love”. The t-shirt is available through BapeLand.

International Orders: Paypal

The easiest way in receiving money from overseas has to be using the Paypal medium. Luckily, most of the people who want to buy the charity T-shirt has a Paypal account, therefore its easier to give out my paypal account and let them to send me over the amount. To add to this, it handy to see whos paid up and the information they gave me with the amount (address and size of the T-shirt).

Sorting out orders

After waiting for the emails to die down from the response of the site, I finally starting to reply them with method of paying and more info on the t-shirts. Some of them did get back to me, regarding about payment details, but others didn't reply back. I guessed when the hype goes, some of them will fall out and looses interest. However, I'm still pleased with the results after all.
