Spokane, WA, December 20, 2004 -- Cuda Apparel, Inc., specializing in custom embroidery, screen-printing and tackle–twill, has rolled out a new, hands on learning program for middle schools and high schools nationwide. The best part of it all is that schools can earn money while utilizing this great tool.

This innovative real time education partnership teaches students skills such as marketing, sales, business trends, e-commerce, margins and percentages, charting, business organization skills, time management, goal setting, teamwork, creative thinking and much more.

Through the partnership, students are provided fully functional e-commerce websites selling their schools’ customized merchandise such as logo or themed hats, caps, t-shirts, sport shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, sweatpants, bags, robes, and other decorated merchandise. Students manage and operate the e-commerce site. The partnership entitles the students to access and utilizes Cuda Apparel’s know-how, webmaster, experienced marketing and sales personnel, bookkeeping and administration personnel among others to assist with their website management and operations. “Cuda Apparel personnel serves as experienced and talented mentors to the students” says Zane Troester, Cuda Apparel General Manager.

It is the school business classes’ duty to promote the website around the school and community, and that is where the students will gain the hands-on marketing experience. Students will also be given monthly reports from Cuda Apparel discussing the sales figures for each month so students can see how their marketing is working and compare data month-to-month, make projections, chart progress, and more.

"To my knowledge, never before has a similar opportunity been provided to schools that offers such a unique educational opportunity plus provides revenue for the DECA or other school business clubs involved," says Troester, "From each purchase that is made from the school’s website the class or group that takes on this project will get a portion of each sale. The school is not required to stock inventory, bill customers or be concerned about shipping or handling. We do all this for the partnership”.

In addition to the DECA classes and business clubs, art classes at the schools can get involved in the e-store creating designs to be placed onto the apparel and accessories. Then the computer classes, business classes, or technology classes can add the products and descriptions to the website. Revenues can be split between appropriate groups, or can go to the coordinating entity and the others can receive credits.

All classes can benefit with this outstanding program; the business classes and DECA Clubs can help other classes such as band and P.E. put together fund raisers using the decorated apparel and accessories they sell on line. Cuda Apparel has several fundraisers already developed for schools to execute.
