The Puppy Dog Sale

Anyone who’s undergone any sales training will be familiar with the idea of the puppy dog sale. In case you’re unfamiliar with it, here’s how it works:

A customer is in a pet shop with a child who is begging for a puppy. Not at all sure this is such a great idea, or perhaps not sure if this particular puppy is the right fit, the customer will not commit to the purchase. The salesperson then plays his Ace.

He offers to let them take the puppy home for a few days, assuring the parent that the puppy can be returned, no questions asked, if they decide they don’t want to keep it. How could you refuse? Of course, the child falls in love with the new pet, and there’s no way it’s going to be returned. Sold!

It’s an idea which can be applied to the sale of many products. Get the product into your customers hands on a trial basis and there’s every chance that they will keep it.

That could be because they find it’s just what they want, or because they form an emotional attachment to it (as with a pet). Either a sale is made or you’re not much worse off if the customer decides to return the product.

Give some thought to whether this is something you can apply to your business. Making it completely risk and obligation free for your customer to try out the product in their own home is a very powerful technique. It won’t apply to everything, but where it does, you should use it.

Selling The Unsavoury

Not every product is attractive in either appearance or function. Many fall into the yucky-but-necessary category. So how do you go about selling them? The makers of Naposure, a saline product designed to wash out a mucus laden nose, (apologies if your eating!) faced just this problem.

Their solution was to soften the whole thing by using attractive children in the advertisements, demonstrating the product. The cute and funny videos they made seemed to do the trick of making an unglamorous product visually attractive to the target market.

It’s a trick that toilet paper manufacturers have used for decades of course. What Labrador puppies have to do with the quality and effectiveness of Andrex is anyone’s guess, but they serve the function of making the product attractive, while very subtly conveying the benefits.

Perhaps if your product lacks a little glamour, you could think about making it more attractive and appealing by associating it in customers minds with something more acceptable. Something to give some thought to.

As an aside, I just discovered that toilet paper was first marketed in the United States just 150 years ago, and up until that point in time, everyone made ‘alternative arrangements’. Just give some thought to that the next time you’re bemoaning the fact that some modern day luxury you’ve become accustomed to isn’t working quite the way it should!

  Dear Streetwise Customer,

    If you were to design a money-making strategy from scratch to take advantage of the circumstances we’re currently experiencing, here is exactly what you’d come up with – a business where…

 . You can work exclusively from home and never have to leave   
   the house

 . As long as you have a computer with internet access, you’re in 
   business  

. The method behind it doesn’t just cope with turmoil and
   uncertainty…it 
positively thrives on it.

. You can get started and be making money in days rather than 
   weeks or
 months.

 . Start-up costs are virtually zero.

  How do I know this is perfect for now? 

  Because the guy who developed it is something of a recluse. He started ‘self-isolating’ years ago before it became a thing, and has run this business from the top of a French mountain, from a remote Swedish farm and from the wilds of northern Scotland…  

  He didn’t have to self-isolate…he just chose to!

  If you find yourself having to live and work a little more remotely in the coming weeks and months…or even if you just like the idea of doing that…then this is perfect for you.  

 Take a look now and respond today. In every crisis, there are opportunities. Even if you’ve looked at doing something like this before and decided against, think again. Now is the time.

Cash From Scraps

I returned from a holiday in a large hotel and I was struck by how much waste there must be from the breakfast and dinner buffets. Dan Blake noted this too back in 2010 and decided to do something about it.

The result was an eco-friendly business with has been named one of the ‘Top 25 Most Promising Social Ventures in America’. EcoScraps takes the waste from ‘All-You-Can-Eat’ Buffets and turns it into a sustainable compost mix.

The business has proved highly profitable and diverts 20 tons of food waste a day from local landfills.

Obviously this is a locally based business – it involved physically picking up the waste – so here’s the question… Who will be first to take this up and run with it in the UK? You’ll have to be quick, I like the idea of this one myself!

Climbing Profits

I’m sure you’re well aware of the fact that health and fitness products are big business. Getting fitter and losing weight are high on the priority list of a lot of people at the moment, and as a result there are hundreds of fitness related machine’s, gadget’s and gizmo’s on the market.

A lot of them are poorly designed, executed and a made, but we recently came across something new which could have a longer life and more appeal than average.

MtEverClimb is a continuous rope climbing machine that (as the name suggests) simulates rope climbing – an activity with long term proven benefits with regard to strength, endurance and cardio vascular training.

The device appears to be very robustly built – it would need to be as it’s endorsed by the Pittsburgh Steelers American football team – and as far as I know, isn’t yet available in the UK.

Could it be the next big thing in UK gym’s? If so, who will introduce it to them. Perhaps something for an ambitious entrepreneur to investigate.

Tumbleweed

When Linda Katz was learning how to make a website, she set up a tongue-in-cheek site to sell tumbleweed. Being a farmer in Texas, she had an over-abundance of the stuff growing wild.

And then a funny thing happened – people started buying it. A single tumbleweed sells for between $15 and $25 depending on size. Not bad for an unwanted weed. 

I’m not suggesting you start selling tumbleweed, but I am suggesting you use this as a mental springboard. People will often pay good money for something which others regard as a waste product or a nuisance.

Do you have access to anything in your life or business which you are currently throwing away or destroying, but which others might be persuaded to buy?

Filling The Gaps

The internet has created a number of opportunities for individuals and businesses to make money by helping companies to profitably dispose of their spare capacity.

Companies like Lastminute.com were set up on that premise. The growth of mobile phone apps has created even more opportunities to do the same thing.

Yum Table is a mobile app which connects hungry diners with spare tables and special deals at a location near them. If a participating restaurant has either a spare table or cancellation they can have it listed on the app and find a paying customer quickly. In one sense, plane seats and empty tables are very similar.

They have to be filled within a short time frame or the opportunity to sell them is lost forever. Yum Table attempts to do for restaurant tables what Lastminute did for plane seats.

Might this be something you could emulate or copy? Is there some other product or service category crying out for someone to come in and deal with the spare capacity problem? Something to give some thought to.

Business Plans Are History

I’ve always held the view that business plans can be a monumental waste of time, and it seems that the academic world may be catching up – or at least part of it.

Steve Blank is a serial entrepreneur, turned business school professor. He argues that entrepreneurship is about getting out into the world and doing it, rather than researching and writing about it. Blank says that business plan classes and competitions are ‘dead in the water’ for new ventures.

My take on this is that creating a detailed business plan is often used as a device for procrastination by would-be entrepreneurs. And even the best thought out plan is pretty useless if you take your product or service to market, and nobody buys it. It’s a bit like designing a car that will handle perfectly at 70mph without firstly ensuring that you have a means of making it start.

I’ve heard the correct sequence of events described in a number of ways, but probably the best is this…Ready, Fire, Aim. Test your ideas out in the real world as quickly as possible. You can do detailed planning later once you know you have something with potential. Don’t waste time planning diligently for something which may prove to be a non-starter.

Décor to Door 

 As we’ve discussed here before, businesses employing self employed agents to sell products direct to end users in their home, are enjoying a bit of a boom at the moment. We’re all familiar with the Avon’s and Bettaware’s of this world, but the concept is now being adopted by companies selling products at far higher price points.

Décor to Door uses a self employed representative system, but the product is home décor and furnishing. Independent representatives earn commissions by presenting the company’s products in a party plan setting.

This an American company and I’m not aware of anyone doing anything similar here yet. Might this be an operation you could emulate, perhaps partnering with a traditional furniture retailer? Or is there some other product category which would lend itself to the direct sales treatment?

Never Miss Gift

So you don’t have children, but your friends or relatives do. You have to buy them Christmas and birthday presents, that’s where NeverMissGift comes in. 

Site users register and then answer a few questions about the child they’re buying for, including age, gender and their budget. Any number of children can be added to a user’s profile, and NeverMissGift sends an email shortly before a birthday or special occasion comes up.

The company recommends its top gifts matching the child’s profile and customers who are happy with the selection don’t have  to do anything-the gift is automatically sent to them or the intended recipient. The company also offer personalised wrapping for those choosing to send the gift straight to the child.

This is a US based service. Could the same service work here in the UK? I see no reason why not. Thinking more widely, could there be a gap in the market for a service designed to solve other gift buying problems-men buying for their wives or girlfriends for example? Something to think about.

I’ll Have Vows With That 

Speaking as someone who got married in Las Vegas, I’m probably the last person to comment on the wedding plans of other people. But even I would draw the line at what’s going on in Hong Kong, where you can now get married in your local Macdonalds.

In the West this would be seen as tacky, but Hong Kong is different. Many people there look on it with a sense of nostalgia relating to their student days, whereas here or in the United States it’s generally perceived to be a bit downmarket and certainly not suitable for the most important day of your life.

There are a couple of lessons and ideas to take from this. The first is that we can’t just assume that a business, service or project can be lifted wholesale and set running in another environment or culture. Things may be viewed in a completely different way there, so it’s important to do some research first.

And the second lesson is that it’s worth taking a hard look at the wedding market, wherever you are. Tastes and practices are changing which means that there are new opportunities opening up all the time. People spend small fortunes on their wedding. It would be nice to figure out a way to get hold of a share.

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!

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.

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?

“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.

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.
