We currently sit at $4015.36 in revenue with $1600.24 in profit and about 30 sweatshirts left to sell. With this many sweatshirts left to sell we expect just under $1000 more in revenue. Our future, however, will be moving in a different direction. We are currently working on bringing a custom winter beanie to market and have a selection of other products lined up for the future. Until we order a set amount, it will be hard to say exactly how much we expect from these future products, but we hope to achieve the same success that has been seen with these crewnecks.
