Maku'u Market Observations

[HADave]

I would bet that off-the-wall excitement is the key. Case in point, traveling to coastal communities here in Maine during the summer months was always fun to watch what people would pickup at the same time it became obvious that year after year it was the same old stuff, BORING, and people where walking around empty handed. Then one year, someone went out on a limb and presented little bags of Seagull Poop, sealed with a cardboard tag that said Real Maine Seagull Droppings or some thing to that effect anyway. The best part was they were priced between 1.50 to 3.50 depending where they were, closer to the water, on a pier covered with the stuff, etc. It was and probably still is amazing just how much of the stuff sold but interestingly people would buy something else as well so it didn't appear they were only buying crap. I believe there are many such other ideas as well that could create excitement. It sure has been a big hit in Maine . Maybe small packages of lava with a sign IF YOU DARE.....or little gray balloons blown up labeled, VOG....

All kidding aside I would think t-shirts of each subdivision/community I know I would buy a few that said Hawaiian Acres )
