When we first got our Amaya our older son was graduating-and the 'parent's 
group wanted to host an 'all night no booze' party-refused to give us a chance 
to bid on their teeshirts and stuff-political and personal differences...so, we 
made up individual hooded sweatshirts for EVERY SINGLE KID IN THE CLASS before 
they placed their order for the party with the other guys...and GAVE Them to 
the students one by one at a class meeting. What a hit that was-and the 
students told the parents group not to bother with shirts-they wanted our stuff 
instead! That got us orders for the next couple years from parents 'outside' 
that clique that wanted custom goods-and our son's class wore them on the float 
for the graduation parade-AND we had a large picture and article in the 
newspaper-got the Superintendant of Schools involved because we valued the 
'donation' at over $3,000. Just can't buy publicity like that. But parents and 
kids move on...we don't know anyone with a kid in the school now 
 but we're working on it. Unless you 'sew up' (haha) the whole business for the 
school, the teams, the clubs-it really isn't worth getting hammered for nickel 
and dime profits.
