  <body>Hey I thought it would be neat to see what all the small companies that frequent this place have been up too in the past 5 or so months I have been at college. 
Success? Failures? New Insights?

as for me,

&lt;b&gt;Wandering Whale&lt;/b&gt;
In the past 5 months I have introduced 5 new designs,
Printed 4 designs on multiple colors,
Sold out 2 designs online,
Attended a 'The Market Collective' in November and sold 32 shirts,
Reprinted everything,
Attended the next 'Market Collective' yesterday and sold 65 shirts,
Having my first semi-professional photoshoot today, to revamp my online presence.

&lt;b&gt; My Insight &lt;/b&gt;
I learned to not be dependant on online sales, and I was luckily enough to find a Indie venue for my demographic that features local art and art related items. and definitely working harder, taking time and being patient with a  product paid off for me. 

your turn?
