R&D

I did some research to find the most popular teams in both the NFL and NBA. I made an Google Doc spreadsheet and recorded two metrics:

1. items for sale on eBay (To see how big the market is)

2. Facebook fans (To measure social presence for FB ads)


I then created a chart that mapped out my results.

Red = A lot of Facebook fans Size = Amount of items on eBay






I am going to analyze this chart a bit little more before I make my first order. I;m afraid that if there is an NBA lockout, it will be hard to sell hats. But I have a feeling the season will come back as scheduled.



UPDATE: I just ordered some hats, they should be arriving in 2 weeks, so now I have to focus on designing the website!
