As the US election day approaches, under the shadow of the financial tsunami, the election also brings business opportunities. Businesses are coming up with various products related to Obama and McCain.
These campaign-themed goods are selling very well in the market, forming a stark contrast with the current economic downturn.
On the streets of New York, street vendors are hawking all kinds of badges with presidential candidates' portraits. The image of Obama on the badges is ever-changing; sometimes he wears sunglasses and appears humorous, other times he transforms into a muscle-bound man. A vendor said that the badges with Obama's portrait sell the best because most voters in New York lean towards Obama.
In stores that specialize in iron-on T-shirts, the portraits of Obama and McCain, as well as the symbols of the two parties, have also become selling points.
[Grassroots Entrepreneurship Interview] Foshan TV Grassroots Entrepreneurship He Qiling: To make a T-shirt like this costs 22 US dollars, which is not expensive for local consumption. It can be ready in 30 minutes, so many supporters of Obama or McCain come to pick one to wear to show their support.
An Obama supporter said: I will wear this shirt to class to let other classmates know that I am his supporter.
A clothing store started selling candidate portrait shirts two months ago, selling more than 200 pieces in a single day at most, immediately increasing its sales.
A staff member said in an interview with Grassroots Entrepreneurship: (Grassroots Entrepreneurship: Are these clothes popular?) Yes, (Grassroots Entrepreneurship: Do many people buy them to support their favorite presidential candidate?) Yes, we make these Obama and McCain shirts, selling at least 20 to 50 pieces every day. We sold quite a lot today.
It was found that all the clothes ordered from this store were portraits of Obama. The staff explained that the situation varies by state, which is related to the support rate in each state. The branch store located in Kansas prefers McCain portrait clothes, which sell better there.
