We are presently in Nebraska, in PreK and Elementary only, and are currently evaluating opening those two programs to California. The biggest challenge for each state is finding a Volunteer to drive the effort. This is usually done through social media or help wanted ads. This individual will attend various school conferences and go to nearby schools to assess interests. Eventually, if the conference is right, we ship exhibit material and begin exhibiting at them.
We then invest in a list of schools within the state and begin marketing the contest. Depending on state size, we may split the area in half. We will then begin a radio and social media campaign targeting schools and children.
We anticipate the cost to open a state is about $10,000. Once open and operating, we hope to keep the costs to under $4,000 for marketing and advertisement each year.
