There are a lot of business ideas out there today that you would normally think wouldn’t work out—I mean, Snap Chat, really? You think: if these goofballs can create the “Next Big Thing,” then you can too. The only problem is your brain is drawing a blank. Check out these five new and creative business ideas you should steal from:
1. Customer Service at a Click of a Button. The Kindle Fire HDX features a representative who lively chats with the user over video. The customer service rep also sees the screen and interacts with the user to get any problem solved. Imagine if you created that middle man service. Here’s a company you can compete with: http://olark.com. Scared of competition? Don’t be. If there’s many players in a market that just means that market is profitable.
2. College Students Support Team. Besides that they’re cheaper to hire, college students also have a lot more passion than professionals do about a niche, product, or service. Basing a business on the support team of college students is a smart business idea by JackThreads, who enlists students to give out fashion advice about the products.
3. Products targeted to help Third World Countries. Embrace Infant Warmer is a $25 sleeping bag that acts as an incubator for premature babies. The best part? It doesn’t need electricity. Another product is Toms. For every pair of shoes you buy from them they donate a pair to a child in another country.
4. Using kinetic energy to power a battery. Many of us are always on the go. nPowerPEG uses kinetic energy as the user goes about his or her day to power a battery that in turn can charge a mobile device.
5. Shopping Cart Mounted Tablet Displaying Recipes. Hellmann’s Brazil created this tablet to be mounted on participating grocery stores that collects data from the user’s nearby items to create recipes relating to mayonnaise.
6. Improve Your Language Speaking By Video Chatting. CNA Language school created a video chat system for Latin American students to practice their English with American senior citizens. The results were astounding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S-5EfwpFOk Imagine if you applied this idea to global markets.
