Will Your Bad Taste Make You Money?
One of the most frequent business start up questions I am asked is “How do I find a Business idea?”
Well it’s simple-look no further than bad taste.
Have you ever thought that coming up with a good slogan for a tee shirt would be a quick way to make some money? (And while we’re on the subject: how many of the tee shirts with messages on them that are bought for other people actually end up being worn by them? Truly, that is a gift where it is the thought that counts . . .)
Not long ago, I was invited to a birthday party for a close relative who had recently suffered, but quickly recovered from, a very slight stroke. Wondering what I could buy him as a present, another family member suggested getting a tee shirt printed up for him that would reference both the recent health scare and his well-known love of boozing.
I’m not saying there wasn’t a slight intake of breath from the birthday boy when he opened my parcel and held up his gift for inspection, but that was quickly followed (thank god!) by a roar of laughter as he read out the words: “I’m not drunk, I’ve just had a mini stroke.”
So – what do you think; could it be a money spinner?
