the problem with something like this is although a lot of people say they would buy when they are asked online, a lot of the time they wont. Yeah you'd totally say yes if you were being asked whether or not you would hypothetically buy it, but when the situation arises where you are actually paying $30 for that t-shirt it feels very different.
this is one of the reasons for all those phantom products which you catch wind of online then when you look for it it's not around. because they run surveys to see if people would want a product like that, get a positive response from 80%, mass produce the product, and only 10% actually end up buying it.
If the bottle neck is a lack of business sense from the PR team, like you describe, than me smells a money making opportunity for myself here.
But seriously, coming from someone who has written and executed a fair number of business plans, some of which didn't even fail
, I promise you this one here is money in the bag.
There is a clear demand for a simple and strait forward product(s) that can be easily produced for hardly any risk at all. You don't need to invest your mum's life savings, just find a few manufacturers willing to drop ship on demand (there are lots). The margins will be smaller, but you can always mass produce the items that turn out to be popular down the road.
Easy money.
