The Idea: Create kiosks in airports to give your laptop the spa treatment. Some of the menu of services that could be offered could be:
The Idea: Instead of trying to hide cell phone towers by trying to make them look like trees, why not put a wind turbine on there to capture some wind energy which at the very least could be enough to power the tower if not put more energy in the grid.
The Idea: They have trained gorillas and monkeys sign language, how to act, and sent one to outer space. So why not train a couple of them to wrap presents. Likely you could train them to wrap one specific size and then train different ones on different sizes packages. You would just have to put the item to be wrapped in the specific size box, then let the monkey go to town. To finish it off, the monkey could then slap a sticker on the top that says "wrapped by monkeys".
The Idea: Create a city wide scavenger hunt open to anyone. Kick it off with a video from the final destination with the final prize. The hunt could be organized so that it lasts a few weeks with a new video debuting every week to pace it out or once it is started it runs till someone gets the final prize.
The Possibilities: Are literally endless. You could make this a big marketing tool. You could franchise it out city by city or even make it nation wide. Everyone wants to be an Indiana Jones and go on a treasure hunt.
The Idea: Create a movie studio of sorts just to make You Tube movies. The goal would be to make viral videos that would catch on like a wild fire online. Advertising could be sold on each video either through product placement, banner ads, etc. You could bill the client one penny for every click the video gets on You Tube in stead of them having to pay a flat rate on TV.
The Idea: A business that likely could be easily run virtually that takes current pictures of yourself and utilizes some of the techniques magazines use to airbrush their models and show you a visual of what you could look like 10, 20, 50, or 100 lbs. lighter. You could just submit your picture and in a day or two get a photoshop manipulated/airbrushed finished product. This could be very powerful in helping those that are wanting to loose some weight to really get a visual and a huge motivation for what they are working towards.
The Background: It just came to me one day while on a cardio machine at the gym.
The Possibilities: These are many complimentary offerings that could come out of this business model such as imposing professionally on magazine covers people's pictures with custom headlines as a visual for them.
The Idea: Create a chain of drive-throughs that sold nothing but fresh fruits, vegetables, juices, and healthy snacks. The key would be that everything must be fresh and ready to eat. So instead of getting a stalk of celery you would get one long piece of celery with peanut butter already in it. There should be enough variety of standalone fruit or vegetables to go along with minimal prep items to make a whole meal. Sample items could be apples already sliced with a yogurt dip, orange slices, bananas, carrot sticks, celery with peanut butter, eggplant and olive oil, salads, ambrosia, pineapple slices, watermelon cubes, cantaloupe cubes, honeydew cubes, cucumber sandwiches, cucumbers in vinegar, zucchini sticks, raisins, nuts, etc.
The Background: Driving home from a CPR class in Gastonia one night after 10pm all I wanted was a piece of fruit. After 10pm nothing but drive-throughs are open with nothing to offer but high calorie junk. I started thinking there must be others in much better shape then I that also crave better food that is super convenient at all times of the day.
The Possibilities: A whole brand could be built around this concept. Starting with a simple vendor cart in a downtown area beside all the taco and hot dog stands to see what works, the things people seem to like more, etc. Then you could expand the business to an actual location in town in certain strategic locations and continue to grow organically. A complimentary offering could be a line of vending machines with nothing but healthy food instead of all the crackers, candy, and junk food. Also a healthy, no pun intended, catering offering could be grown as well.
