Overestimating the Market
This Rasmussen survey certainly explains the extremely poor sales of my t-shirts. I may have vastly overestimated the market.
Just 53% Say Capitalism Better Than Socialism
The internal breakdowns are even more depressing.
Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism, and 30% are undecided. Thirty-somethings are a bit more supportive of the free-enterprise approach with 49% for capitalism and 26% for socialism. Adults over 40 strongly favor capitalism, and just 13% of those older Americans believe socialism is better.
Assuming that only a percentage of those who prefer capitalism are likely to buy a t-shirt on the web, and the vastly smaller percentage of those people who have seen this site, it's no wonder I'm still waiting to celebrate my first sale.
Incidentally, I have opened a shop on Zazzle.com. I have already created all of the Obama Socialism products and as soon as I get around to recreating the First and Second Amendment shirts there, I am closing down the Cafe Press shop. I don't know if the prices or quality are any better or worse at Zazzle.com but it offers greater flexibility than Cafe Press does with its free account.
Plus they have this nice little flash thing that I put in the sidebar to make your purchase even easier.
