Affiliate Marketing Secrets

My significant other and I are looking to aquire a very niche interactive T-shirt for LoZ geeks and gamers alike– It features a string of six hearts that light to full charge when the wearers are nearby, and reverts to a meagre two and a half hearts when they are apart. If you haven’t already gathered it, it’s a couples shirt. :3

The aforementioned URL links to the interactive shirt. It’s no longer available via it’s launch site, Thinkgeek.com. It’s not that it’s out of stock: it would simply say, “out of stock,” if that were the case. It’s nowhere to be found. I’m wondering if any of you have any idea as to how I can aquire a set of these magnificant specimens, either by tracking down the order from the orgininal creator or a parent specialty site, or maybe the email or phone line I can use to get more information.

Can someone post solution so my group and I can compare and see if we did our calculations correctly. THANKS!
SmartestPharma™ is considering two marketing options for the Canadian launch of their Mouthx in 2012.
i. A “soft” launch using mainly public relations and some kickoff events at an estimated a cost of $500 000.
ii. A “full” launch, using a large number of multi-media communication vehicles, glossy, high-production creative and saturated frequency at a cost of $2.5 million.
Now that you know the contribution margin and have calculated how many consumers are likely to buy this product in Canada (as well as the likely rate they will buy it at, per year), determine and justify which approach SmartestPharma™ should take in launching this product in Canada (i.e. soft launch mostly PR for $500 000, or full out launch for $2.5 million).
Using the information in this background document and your own research, identify and discuss in sentence and paragraph form the key market and financial issues that are relevant to this launch.
————————————–… Soft Launch__________________ Full Launch
Retail Selling Price

MouthX Selling Price
MouthX Contribution Margin %
MouthX Cost
MouthX Contribution Margin $
Marketing Campaign (Fixed Costs)
Break-Even in Units (bottles)
Break-Even in Customers
Target Segment Size
Required Market Share of Recommended Target Market to break-even
Additional information:
Suggested Retail Price (MSRP): 15$ per bottle of 150 mL
Suggested retail strategy (MSRS): Given its added medicinal ingredients and benefits, MouthX costs more to manufacturer (CM of only 15%, compared to typical CM=25%), and should command a price premium that should never be discounted or price promoted at-shelf. Manufacturer-led media behind the brand will be significant through year one of launch. BASES research indicates niche consumers will purchase this product consistently throughout the year. Actual usage and consumption patterns are yet to be observed.

I have a great idea for an affiliate/membership site, and I need just under $1,500 to put it all together. This includes the launch and marketing campaign. I primarily use PayPal with all of my transactions (online and offline with my PayPal debit card), so it will be secure, plus I already have a contract written up. I am not much concerned about interests rates, as I almost wish I knew a loan shark, lol. Seriously though, can anyone help me?

News:
The US Defense Department said it did not know what created a vapor trail that crossed the skies off the Southern California coast and resembled a missile launch.
Video posted on the CBS News website shows an object flying through the evening sky Monday that left a large contrail, or vapor trail. A news helicopter owned by KCBS, a CBS affiliate in Los Angeles, shot the video.
Pentagon officials were stumped by the event. “Nobody within the Department of Defense that we’ve reached out to has been able to explain what this contrail is, where it came from,” Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan said.
While the vapor cloud captured on video resembled that created by a rocket in flight, military officials said they knew of no launches in the area.
Lapan said that “all indications” were that the Defense Department was not involved with the object.
One expert called it an optical illusion. “It’s an airplane that is heading toward the camera and the contrail is illuminated by the setting sun,” said John Pike, director of the US-based security analyst group globalsecurity.org.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, issued a statement jointly with the US Northern Command, or NORTHCOM, saying that the contrail was not the result of a foreign military launching a missile. It provided no details.
“We can confirm that there is no threat to our nation,” the statement said. “We will provide more information as it becomes available.”
NORTHCOM is the US defense command and NORAD is a US-Canadian organisation charged with protecting North America from the threat of missiles or hostile aircraft.
Pike said the object could not have been a rocket because it appeared to alter its course.
“The local station chopped up the video and so it’s hard to watch it continuously,” Pike said. “But at one place you can see it has changed course; rockets don’t do that.”
Pike said he did not understand why the military had not recognized the contrail of an aircraft. “The Air Force must … understand how contrails are formed,” he said. “Why they can’t get some major out to belabor the obvious, I don’t know.”
