Turn School Spirit into a Student-Led Business

Sep 3, 2026

Creating Real-World Business Experience Through School Spirit

The Mascot Shop™ combines online spirit wear sales, merchandise management, marketing opportunities, and fundraising into a FREE, all-in-one platform that students can promote and manage. As a result, chapters gain practical experience while supporting their school community.

Exclusive Savings for DECA Members

To help chapters get started, DECA members have access to special offers through December 31, 2026.

Learning by Doing

Operating a spirit wear store can expose students to many of the same business functions they study through DECA and in the classroom, including:

  • Marketing products and promotions
  • Managing merchandise selections
  • Analyzing sales performance
  • Planning fundraising initiatives
  • Building brand awareness

Rather than working through a simulation, students have the opportunity to participate in a business connected to their own chapter, school, and community.
