Imagine travelling several hundred miles, with a ferry journey thrown in for good measure…just to buy nappies. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it, and yet that’s just what entrepreneurial Poles and Lithuanians are doing, who see half-priced diapers are too good a business opportunity to pass up.

As I’m sure you know, supermarkets often use loss-leaders to entice customers into their stores. For reasons I don’t fully understand, (perhaps young parents are a big target market) cut-price nappies have become the preferred lure in parts of Norway.

It’s set off something of a price war, which would be great news for Norwegian parents if they could actually find nappies in stock, but they can’t. Prices are so low that Poles and Lithuanians, have started trekking to Norway for the sole purpose of buying up every last nappy they can find. I’m assuming they then take them back home and sell them at a profit.

I’m sure opportunities come up like this all the time – and not just across International borders. Local shops and Supermarket have cut price, time –sensitive offers to bring in customers, which aren’t available in other areas. Every time that happens, there’s a profit opportunity. Buy the product in one area, and resell it in another for less money than it’s available for in that area. Simple, but not that easy.

The trick is to be on the spot to take up the offers, and you’ll not always be able to do that. This probably isn’t something for a regular income then, but something to keep in the back of your mind for when the opportunity presents itself. And once you’re alert to the possibility, the opportunities will present themselves all the more regularly.

Cupcakes Collapse

You don’t have to go back too many years to arrive at a time where nobody was talking about cupcakes. The past few years have seen an explosion in the market, with specialist chains being set up and most mainstream confectionary bakers jumping on the bandwagon.

A great deal of money has been made, but it really feels like we’re at, or beyond, market saturation. So I wouldn’t recommend you go into the cupcake business at this moment, but I would recommend that you ask yourself a simple question.. What’s next?

There are always trends and fads in the food and drink business, and spotting them early and riding the crest of the wave can pay massive dividends. Where should you focus your efforts? Well anyone who can combine great taste with genuine healthy properties stands to make a killing in any sector of the food and drink market.

PUBLISHERS NOTICE

 Hello,

You have been hand-picked to receive this letter for a special reason. You’ll find out exactly why you were chosen when you take a look at the on line link below.

Here’s what it’s all about……

A few months ago, we sent a guy called Graham Carter, what he called a ‘crummy disc’ (the cheek of it!) in a plain brown envelope. On the disc were the words ‘Project X’, hand-written in red felt tip.

Why did we send it to him?

Because he was broke and we wanted him to try something out. We needed someone who was down on his luck…someone with none of the advantages which a lot of people set out with on a new project. Someone whose position was pretty hopeless really. Here’s what we figured…

     If Graham could make this work, anyone could.

Very Best Wishes,

John Harrison    

  PS.  This could turn the way you live (and make a living) on its head. If you’re looking for more freedom, more money and to have your computer doing all the hard work for you while you get on with your day, you really should get on this right away.

  PPS  I’m only looking for five people to come in on this today. There will be other opportunities later, but just five today. We’re not going to rush this. It’s special.

 This comes with a full 90 day test drive money back guarantee. Take a look today.

People choose the hotels they stay in for all sorts of reasons, and an increasing number are interested in the ‘green credentials’ of the place they’ll be laying their head for the night. It’s with this in mind that Green Hotels was set up in Greece. 

To be included in the Green Hotels network, hotels must pass a whole range of tests with regard to their approach to environmental issues. They are then graded on a scale of A through to C, dependant on the level of their adherence to green principles.

Speaking as someone with far more interest in the temperature of the water in the shower than how fuel efficient it is, this isn’t a service I’ll be using any time soon. But the point is that there is a market niche here to be exploited, and if there’s a demand for this in Greece, I’m sure there’s demand in the UK.

Looking at this purely from a business point of view, creating such a network is no different than a network of hotels with swimming pools, fine cuisine, sea views or anything else. Perhaps something for you to consider introducing to the UK then?

Dorm In A Box

When a teenager is going off to University for the first time, they need a whole pile of stuff, and that’s the premise behind Dorm-In-A-Box. The US based service promises to put together everything you might need in one simple package. Because of bulk buying they claim to supply $1,200 of value for $349.

I’m not sure whether anyone is doing anything similar in the UK, but it could be worth investigating. Thinking more widely, are there any other life events or activities which lend themselves to this ‘In a box’ approach?

In the past, for example, we’ve featured a company supplying everything you need to camp at a festival, in one package. There have to be other opportunities to help people save time, money and thinking time by packaging up everything they might need in a particular circumstance.

URGENT – Partners Wanted!    

Hello,  

Over the last few weeks, I’ve putting the finishing touches to a unique opportunity, the like of which we’ve never been able to offer before. It’s the opportunity for a small number of customers to partner with Streetwise Publications and take the helm of a micro-business we’ve created which has already pulled in £1,642,742 as I write this.  

Well now it’s ready, and you are one of the very first people I’m alerting to this today.  

You can find full details online here:

The recent Coronavirus lockdown and an announcement at the last budget which went unnoticed by most people, has turbocharged what was already a highly profitable business. What happened in lockdown and a loophole created by the budget announcement are real game changers. It’s an unprecedented opportunity.   

Who is this perfect for? Anyone who wants to make a great deal of moneyworking in their spare time from home and has access to a PC or laptop.  

Anyway, take a look now. As you’ll see, places on this are very limited (for obvious reasons) so don’t delay taking a look. 

    Very Best Wishes,

John Harrison

Do you know what people are more interested in than anything else?

Themselves!

That probably explains the success of a whole raft of businesses which have as their basis, immortalising or representing the customer in some way.

One of the latest things we’ve seen is Voice-Prints, a Toronto based company who will create a visual work of art from a recording of a voice or voices.

The possibilities are many and varied – a babies first words, a couples wedding vows, a crowds cheer for example. All of these and countless others can be immortalised in something you can hang on your wall.

Consumers have a perennial interest in seeing themselves represented visually on just about everything from mugs and coasters to miniature dolls. So it’s hardly surprising that they’re interested in seeing their voices represented too.

What other aspects of consumers persona might they be interested in having represented or immortalised…their brain waves perhaps? I’ll leave you to give it some thought.

Don’t Break The Chain

Here’s an idea Jerry Seinfield used to get better at writing jokes, but you can use it to improve at just about anything. 

All you need is a wall planner which has a full year on show. Hang it in a prominent place and then every day that you work on what you’re hoping to improve (writing, copywriting, playing a musical instrument, developing a business…whatever) you get to put a big red cross on the wall planner.

Every day under your belt will add to your chain of crosses, and your only task is this – Don’t break the chain!

So you don’t think about your day to day results – only not breaking the chain. This kind of persistence practice will ensure that you continue to improve.

This probably qualifies as one of the strangest businesses we’ve seen recently, but who knows, it might trigger of an idea. Catacombo is a system for putting music into coffins! 

Created in Sweden the system consists of three different parts. Firstly, users create an account through the online CataPlay platform, which connects to Spotify and enables customers to create a playlist for their own coffin or get friends and family to choose the tracks when they’re gone.

The CataTomb is a 4G-enabled gravestone that receives the music from CataPlay and display the current track – along with details and tributes to the deceased through an LCD display. Finally, the music is played into the CataCoffin pretty much for ever. The cost? Around 23,000 Euro’s.

Now I don’t know who’s going to pay this (certainly not someone who’s chosen to be cremated I’d imagine!) but I suppose it gives lie to the phrase, “You can’t take it with you.”

There certainly seems to be a growth in interest in unusual funeral arrangements, and perhaps there’s money to be made by fulfilling unusual wishes. Can’t imagine your complaints department will be kept too busy either!

Fabulous Fries

Few of us give much thought to the humble French Fry, but Florida based Scott Nelowet spotted an opportunity while on holiday in Amsterdam.

In the United States, fries are seen as filler food, but in Amsterdam there are a number of outlets selling gourmet fries. Neolwet borrowed the idea, and tested it around Florida using a mobile van.

When that proved successful he opened his first French Fry Heaven restaurant in 2011, offering sweet potato fries with a choice of 55 sauces, spices and sea salt toppings.

There are two things to take away from this I think:

1.  Always be alert to what’s working in other countries while on holiday.

2.  There’s almost always an opportunity to create an upmarket version of a
   generic product.

So what’s next?

People seem to fall into one of three groups where holidays are concerned. There are those who have no real interest in holidays and don’t really care if they go at all, those who are very interested and know exactly what they want to do…and then a third group who are very interested, but don’t really know what they want to do.

It’s for this third group that Wanderfly was set up – a website which aims to offer ‘tailored inspiration’ by focussing on three variables…budget, timeframe and interests.

Users enter their details on the site and are then presented with suggested trips complete with flights, accommodation and itinerary which can be booked through site partners such as Expedia and Lonely Planet. There’s even a connection to Facebook to locate friends in any of the chosen destinations!

We’re tell you about this for three reasons: 

1.  It may be a service you’d like to try out for yourself. 

2.  It’s evidence that there are still new opportunities in what is a very 
     mature travel market.

3.  Travel is just one market in which consumers face an increasingly large and bewildering range of choice.

There is scope in many fields for someone to come along in an advisory role, provide inspiration, and help the consumer home in on the most desirable options for them.

Might your market be one of those where this form the basis of a viable business?

Life Beyond Death

Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, it seems that technology is reaching the stage where people can live after death – in a fashion.

I just read about an initiative from the MIT Entrepreneurship Programme which collects web chats, blogs, emails and text messages from a deceased person, and then uses complex algorithms and artificial intelligence to create a ‘chatbot’ that represents the persons online persona.

It’s then possible to interact and communicate with this online presence. The idea is to unlock the memories hidden in their online presence, according to the researchers behind the project.

In the years to come, the amount of social media and other online data left behind by individuals is just going to grow and grow. The MIT project gives a glimpse into what’s possible now. The possibilities for the future are both exciting and terrifying in equal measure.

One thing’s for sure – there are huge profits to be made by those able to harness the available data in the right way.
