Cat’s wigs… and others
Do you like cats? Can your love be compared with Julie Jackson’s love? She lives in the USA and her
internet-shop sell breathtaking accessory since summer, 2007 - cat’s wigs. It is beautiful, stylish, and your pet’s ears won’t feel cold… )) One wig costs $50 including delivery in any town of the country. If you live outside America you should pay extra $25 for airmail. Miss Jackson came in for her full share.
You may laugh at photos, but the idea brought very good profit. People spend on keeping of pets over $41 billion in the USA annually. $9.9 billion is spent on clothes and medicine. The sums are enormous, especially taking into account that only 64 countries of the world have gross national product more than $40 billion … It appears that Miss Jackson got her piece of pie. By the way, there are some links of CNN and BBC reportages on her website.
“Loud” advertisement
There are a lot of places people offer to buy for placing advertisement: automobiles, own peoples’ bodies. There was even a website without any information – only advertisement. It seems that every piece of every item was used as advertising space. But it is not true. Someone Floyd Hase from New York decided to sell advertising space on his… voice. How did he do it? It is very simple – Mr. Floyd decided to shout an advertisement of the company, which would order him such a service.
Without hesitation he placed his offer on eBay auction that is known for selling even the strangest things. Curiously enough, but the buyers didn’t take long to appear. The first customer was the company named Halls. They considered Floyd’s offer to be unique and where the first buyers of his “advertising services package”.
The standard package was the following one: every 15 minutes Floyd shouted advertisement. But the main difference of his advertisement from radio advertisement was that he was constantly moving across the city, so his advertisement could be heard by people of various professions in various places. The audience size for such a low price was colossal. For the company Breezers such advertisement became so profitable, that it became one of marketing items.
Restaurant “in the sky”
Do you want to forget about earth under your feet and to eat in unforgettable place? Welcome to the restaurant “in the sky”. You can order breakfast, dinner, supper, cocktail, and even invite your boss to discuss your advancement. “Where is the uniqueness?” – you’ll ask.
The uniqueness is that this restaurant is situated on 50 meter height and is managed by specialists from the company Benji Fun. There are 22 seats, chief cook, waiter and pianist. What is the address?.. You choose!
Safety is provided by using very special equipment, which can also be used by you to make extra impression on your guests. You can organize rock-group “heavenly” concert or “aerial” presentation of new car, etc.
The company Benji Fun has a website with distinctive name “Dinner in the sky”. The service can be offered practically in any place where hoisting crane can be placed. Standard price for 8 hours program for 22 persons costs 7900 euro.
Ferris wheel for cars
If you are not afraid of height and even ready to dine up in the sky, then you can realize one more childish dream – to fly in a car. Of course, it won’t be a car flight from “Harry Potter” or “Taxi 2” movies, but it will also be fascinating.
Dutch engineer John Kormeling designed Ferris wheel for cars in 2005. It reminds usual attraction, but there are only four “seats” for cars. Automobiles are placed on platforms, fastened with special ropes and… off we go! The journey lasts 15 minutes, and cars are lifted to 30 meters height. The whole city is like an open book… By the way, you give ignition key to the operator. Just in case…
The attraction passed all safety tests and is used all over Europe since 2006.
Any foreign newspaper in 5 minute
“It would be great to read “Sport-express”!” – dreams Russian tourist in Thailand. And there are 10 more days of vacation… How many newspapers are not sold in summer when so many people are abroad on resorts? It is a good question!
When you travel abroad – in a professional capacity or for vacation – you almost newer have an opportunity to read native press. It concerns not only Russian tourists in Antalya, but every person who is far from his country. For justice’ sake lets notice that newspapers of the world’s biggest publishing houses are sold in many capitals, but the general situation is not changed. Leaving your city is time to forget about your favorite local newspaper. If only it was possible to solve this problem…
It is possible!
Movie Theater in Your Pool
It is a bold and vanguard idea. Since autumn, 2006, there is a new service in hotel Lindner Alpentherme in Leukerbad (Switzerland) – to watch the movie in pool! It is a combination of two pleasures in one… place. And if to take into account Coca-Cola and popcorn, there would be the whole set of three pleasures!
The setting reminds usual movie theaters – ticket office, ticket collector. You take your seat according to the ticket… and watch “Pirates of the Caribbean” from water. There, surely, would be an amazing effect.
The idea is not ridiculous, but tending to be a serious business-project, which will bring profit, money, and clients. What do you think?
Outdoor advertisement on building projects
Where is outdoor advertisement usually situated in your city?
• Banners hung between posts
• Sidewalk luminous posters
• Billboards
• Neon signboards on roofs of houses
Now new buildings are being constructed almost everywhere. Also there are reconstruction and renovation of old houses. Hypermarkets and shopping centers are everywhere. At least suchlike situation is in my city. Building ground is always fenced. And if there is renovation of building facade, the net is necessarily stretched.
Exactly there fences and barriers should be used to place advertisement! The renovation can last for months and even years. Huge advertising space is wasted and often it is situated in city core.
You should make some easily demountable standard frameworks (frames) like billboards’ and arrange them at fences and barriers. When construction is over you will move frameworks to another construction project. Lighting is not a problem, too: every construction site has electricity (you can extend a cable).
Part of profit from advertisement must be given to the construction company. It is a “gift” for the company, money from nowhere. And when you are successful builders will call you by themselves and offer their fences. Advertisers will be happy, too, because construction sites are often in city core and crowded places.
Generally, now fences are sometimes glued over with advertisement and various posters, but it is made carelessly, unattractively, and without scale. It is reasonable to make serious business from this idea.
Make business on internet-campaign against smoking
The idea is balancing on the verge of ethics. The comments are welcomed…
Well. You need to create and professionally promote website about harm of smoking. It must be super website. Really great portal about harm of smoking, containing terrifying photos of smokers’ lungs, graphics, cancer diseases statistics, video materials, interview with famous people, flash animation, etc. There will be all existing information about harm of smoking, all data and figures. Skilful and professional editing is also needed – there mustn’t be boring articles. The information must be interesting and understandable.
Promotion must also be on the highest level. Optimization, registration, banners exchange, etc. Forums, blogs, and anecdotes must be added. Generally, you must use all methods to increase attendance. 1.000-2.000 visitors per 24 hours would be enough, but 5.000 visitors – it would be better.
Money sale
Maybe you’ve heard about this idea, though it is not appropriate for all countries. It is almost a joke. Everyone who heard about it would immediately laugh. But then almost everyone would think about it…
In Russia numbers on rubbles are made of 7 figures. Phone numbers are also consist of 7 figures… Do you understand what I am driving at? What if you took out of your pocket 100 rubles, called the given number, and offered to buy exclusive souvenir for 200 rubles? You’ll ask – why would somebody pay for your 100 rubles his 200 rubles? He himself has a lot of 100-rubles bonds! Yes, maybe he has, but he doesn’t have this one with his phone number! What practical use does it have? No practical use, just for show, to frame and hang on the wall…
Make money on vast number of published books
Which author in your opinion is the most published one in the world? I do not mean circulation, but number of written books. Robert Heinlein? Alexandre Dumas? Stephen King? Nothing of the kind. The most published author in the world is someone M. Parker. Don’t you know him? So read “The New York Times” of April 14, 2008.
Philip Parker, management professor, made computer program, which scans every internet file and document with open access on concrete theme and gathers all necessary data on required issue. Then a group of 6-7 programmers uses 70 computers and edits all these data making it readable. As a result there will be made a synthetic book compiled of hundreds and thousands documents. It is possible to write a book on any given theme, and it will take one-two days. In general. It is cheap but good fast and fundamental. Of course, such book won’t remind “Romeo and Juliet” and will, more likely, be written like “Theory of Strength of Materials”. Sometimes it is quite appropriate. For example, almost every medical book is bought by medical institutes in spite of “non- literary” language and structure…
