-
Time to stop procrastinating – and to get organized.
Successful millionaires and business owners have no time to focus on all the prevalent doom and gloom.
They think about sex.
-
Okay, maybe I should clarify this last statement.
Pursuing our choice to focus on what’s working today…
I came across another interesting article:
SSL International Sales Up 20%.
What do they sell?
Condoms and sex toys.
-
Now, you may understandably not want to get into the sex industry….
But once again the key is about focusing on the current patterns in the marketplace.
More people stay at home.
They simply don’t go out as often as they used to.
But boredom remains an enemy - they still want to have fun (possibly even more).
-
How can you adapt your business – or create one – to take advantage of this?
Does your product involve getting outside house – which costs money? If so, might you want to emphasize its “usefulness factor” and provide the socially acceptable justification for doing so?
How about adding a “useful for years to come” element to your offer? In yesterday’s ’sewing machines’ article, one chain of retailers was reported to boost demand for its crafts materials by offering sewing and knitting classes…
How can you help your customers with the rediscovery of their creativity?
How can you create a home version of what you offer? (Information marketing comes to mind as a good model!…)
-
And even if you can’t think of a way to directly adapt to this pattern, could you use this for your gifting program, contests and premiums?
Offering all-paid-for vouchers for a family dinner out, movie tickets, or other outside-the-house leisure activities your clients might forego, may well have increased perceived value nowadays.
Or maybe there’s a simple, cost-effective way for you to offer your clients some form of entertainment that doesn’t require them to leave the house? I hear board games are making a comeback…
-
Again, I’m just throwing ideas that might work…
Will you choose to consider them – or focus on everything that no longer works?
(No 2 cents today, I spent them yesterday – so I’m staying home!)

Sex toys! It is true that people are staying home and trying to find more activities that are conducive to that. My son and I just bought some board games (bored games) so we could stay home (spend less) and have fun. Smart post.
Kind Regards,

A grat reminder that every downturn has a silver lining for some part of the economy. I imagine in a few months you might also see an up tick in the sales at Babies ‘R Us, too! ;-)

Penetrating insights, indeed! And so well-aligned with my work. Often passion and intimacy enrichment to a marriage is less expensive than a costly divorce!

I think cooking at home is also due for a large resurgence… and it will be high quality at least some of the time…

Sometimes it’s amazing what a little focus around the house can do.
Thanks [that WAS a great starter by the way, no kidding]
Thanks

What great inspiration in the back pages of your Financial Times. That is if you take the time to read between the lines about what is happening in the marketplace as you do.

Sex is a fun business but once you get past the sex part you realize that it is…a business.
For me, I like my sex separate from business. It keeps it fun and exciting.

I’m a huge fan of letting consumer behaviour be your master. Much easier to cash in on what’s currently happening that to hypothesise a new market and try and create it!
Glad I found your previous posts!
