Subscription Coffee

We’ve covered coffee-by-post style services before, but this is different. Israel based Cups Tel Aviv gives members unlimited coffee at participating venues in return for a monthly subscription.

Around 40 coffee shops and cafe’s have enrolled on the scheme. Members can pay a monthly subscription and then have as many coffees as they like at any of the participating venues. Members are updated on new venues and offers via a related app.

The price structure is such that it offers great value for members. They’re effectively in front after about a dozen cups of coffee. But the venues benefit too. They get a share of the revenue, plus knock-on benefits through the sale of sandwiches and cakes to people who may not have visited them otherwise.

This is a fascinating business model and one that could form the basis of a number of profitable businesses in different locations. It seems to me you could do something like this in any town or city in the UK. And why stop at coffee? What other products might lend themselves to this subscription based approach?

Dating Deal Of The Day 

We’ve covered quite a range of dating related concepts over the years, and here’s another interesting one which cashes in on people’s desire to get hold of something in short supply, or only available for a limited period.

EDealduJour, features a different single man each day, giving woman a limited time to respond. The mans photograph, profile and video information are posted up on the site for 24 hours and there’s a timer indicating how long is left in the corner of the screen.

At the moment the service is free for both men and woman, with a charge being made for access to archived and upcoming profiles. I can see this generating an enormous amount of traffic, which could easily be turned into lucrative advertising revenue.

Could this be copied here in the UK, and even adapted to have a woman as the bait? (I’m going to ask for my money back on those political correctness lessons!) I’m sure it could. In fact I’m quite tempted myself!

Zombie Preparedness

I suspect like most sane people, you’re not overly concerned by the possibility of an attack by zombies, but that doesn’t mean Omaha based advertising agency Bozell, haven’t had a good idea.

They’ve created a campaign for a local hardware chain focussing on the power tools, cleaners and door locks you’re going to need both during a zombie attack and in the aftermath. Zombie Preparedness was added to the list of store categories on the website alongside the more traditional fastners, power tools and paints.

I’m not sure many people are going to buy products for their zombie defeating qualities, but this kind of thing certainly get bags of free publicity and attention.

If you’re just using straight forward advertising and promotions, perhaps it’s time to start thinking outside the box. Doing something wacky like this could certainly pay big dividends.

Backyard Farmers 

I like the idea of having a nice garden, and I like the idea of growing my own vegetables, but when it comes down to it I never get round to doing anything about it. It’s people like me… and perhaps the cash rich/time-and-space-poor population often found in major cities that Backyard Farmers is aimed at.

The company provide customers with a turnkey organic vegetable garden without the need to pick up a spade or get their hands dirty. Gardens cost around $2,000 (this is a US idea) and comprise raised soil beds, enhanced with micro nutrients and locally grown plants. The garden comes housed in a nice cedar frame and is watered via an in-built irrigation system.

I doubt that this makes sound economic sense for the customer, but for the kind of people who would buy into this, that’s not really the point.

Would this work here in the UK? Not everywhere obviously, but I can see a market for it in the more affluent towns and suburbs. Yes, economic times are tough, but there are still plenty of people with money to spend on things that take their fancy.

Hangover Heaven

If you find yourself in Las Vegas having drunk more than is good for you, chances are that you will welcome the services of Hangover Heaven. It’s a company that provides a hangover cure on wheels.

The company’s bus cruises up and down the strip and stops off in the tour pick up areas of the major hotels. Once on board, a small IV is placed in the patients arm and apparently you’re cured (and ready to start again presumably) within 45 minutes. The only additional pain is the $150 fee.

I don’t know whether this works or not, but I’m sure like me, you’ve had hangovers you’d happily have paid $150 to get rid of. Neither do I know about the legal issues surrounding this whole service or whether it could be imported to the UK.

But what I do know is this-there would be no shortage of demand in many towns and cities up and down the country if it could be done safely, legally and ethically.

Alarming Profits

If you think you’re too young or inexperienced to make serious money from your entrepreneurial efforts, then you’ll take heart from the story of 13 year old Laurence Rook from Whyteleafe Surrey.

Rook came up with the idea of a doorbell that dupes burglars into thinking you’re at home by calling your mobile phone when pressed, and then allowing you to talk to them through an intercom. Apparently, most burglars try the doorbell as a test to see if the coast is clear, before a break in.

Anyway, Lawrence’s parents passed his plans to a family friend with experience in the field of product development, and she sent them on to China. Less than a year later, the product which sells for £40, is on the market and 20,000 units have already been sold to a distributor. Another deal is in the pipeline which will net the inventor a quarter of a million pounds!

Why did he succeed so young? Probably because he hasn’t had the chance for people to tell him he can’t do it yet. It’s amazing what you can do (at any age) if you don’t know it’s impossible yet!

“Here’s One Way To Make The Best Of This Crisis-

And Make A Healthy Ongoing Profit Into The Bargain!”

Dear Streetwise Customer,

If you’re anything like me, you’re totally sick of hearing about Covid-19. 

And yet even if you’re not directly affected, it’s impacting on all our lives…And apart from a few people in the ‘right business’ it’s costing everyone money.  

And yet there is a possible silver lining to this very ugly cloud.

What this current crisis has given a lot of us, is time…

Time to think, time to prepare and time to implement money making strategies which are totally immune to the mayhem going on.

Are you free during the evening between about 6.00pm and 9.00pm…’Soap Opera Alley’ when the TV is full of rubbish you don’t want to watch and you can’t really escape to the pub anymore?

Well if you are, I’d like to introduce you to a way to make £100-£200 an evening at home from your computer screen which  anyone can learn fast – all while the masses are  overdosing on Weatherfield and Walford doom and gloom.

 As if we don’t have enough of that at the moment!

Let me just repeat, this method is immune to the financial mayhem we’re all currently experiencing. Not just immune…it actually thrives on it.

For full details, take a look HERE

This could be exactly what you need to fill both your time and your bank account in this very challenging period.

There’s no reason why you can’t come out of all this financially stronger than you went in, and have a money making strategy you can use for life.

Clothes On Tour

Here’s a strange thing….a company at the top end of a market, adapting an idea from the bottom end, and making it work.

I’m sure you’re familiar with the concept of the one day sale. A company hire a hall or empty shop unit and hold a one day sale of sports goods, leather goods, jewellery, furniture or something else.

These sales almost always operate at the lower end of the market. The key selling point is that stuff is dirt cheap and it won’t be here tomorrow.

Clemens en August do something remarkably similar, but at the other end of the market. They are high end Munich based fashion retailer, but their clothes aren’t available in shops or online. Instead, each season they travel to international cities, selling their collections in contemporary art galleries for only three days at a time.

This tour system allows the company to cut out the retail margin, and the selling point is very similar-this is very attractively priced, and if you don’t buy today, it won’t be here tomorrow. Exclusivity is added into the mix. The concept has been dubbed ‘clothes on tour’.

It’s an interesting concept isn’t it, and I’m sure it’s something that could be applied to other markets. Remember the key factors-a time-limited opportunity to buy an exclusive product at an attractive price. Here today, but gone tomorrow.

Sexcereal

Most products could benefit from a unique angle or twist. They say that sex sells, but I’ve never seen it applied to breakfast cereal before!

Sexcereal is a breakfast wholefood, purportedly designed to improve the sex lives of men and woman, with specific versions for each gender.

The female version contains cranberries, almonds, ginger and sunflower-designed to balance hormones-while the male version includes bee pollen, black sesame, wheat germ and Camu Camu – with the aim of restoring energy and testorone.

I’ve no idea whether this product will have any ‘impact’- I very much doubt it –but it’s an interesting angle which differentiates the product from the competition.

Might your product or service be promoted on it’s libido-enhancing properties?

Buy One, Give One Away

We’re all familiar with offers like ‘Buy one get one free’, and ‘Buy two for the price of one’- so familiar that they can sometimes wash over us without creating an impact.

To get attention, you sometimes need to do something a little bit different. One offer idea I came across recently in the United States was ‘Buy One, send one to a friend for free’.

The idea is that when you order a product, the company send a lesser product to a friend with your compliments. So for example, you order a shirt and are then asked to designate a friend to receive a tie. Or you order a crate of wine and a friend receives a bottle of the same wine.

This seems like a ‘win-win-win’ situation. As a customer, you get to do a favour for a friend. The friend gets a free product. And the company get to make contact with a new potential customer, effectively financed by the original purchase.

Is this something you could use in your business? I’m sure it could be used in mine.

The Virtual Farmers Market

Farmers and small scale food producers usually have to rely on wholesale distributors to make the link to wholesale buyers like restaurants and specialist food retailers.

In New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, there’s now a different solution. Farmers Web allows producers to sell their produce to restaurants and shops direct. It’s a low cost virtual farmers market.

I know little about the market here in the UK, but I’d imagine small scale food producers face a similar marketing problem.

Could you set up a website like Farmer’s Web to help them get their goods to the restaurant and specialist retail market? If this works in the US, I can see no reason why it wouldn’t work here too.
