App- Alarm Clocks

The iPhone app is very pervasive. There are many sorts of app invented diversely. Alarm clock function seems to have less attractive to developers since provided as built-in app.By the way, if have creativity, distinction still exists.

The airline company released the alarm clock app with gift offering. If users guess correctly the city where voice is belling while alarming for a few minutes, they will get an air ticket to that city for free of charge.

In Japan, the alarm ring will be tailored corresponding to weather.

Business ThinkTank No.36- Free Inventory Stocking Shop

Many business may sometimes cope up with high cost of inventory storing. The unsold products are burden to the company's balance sheet and difficult to manage. Is there a solution to eradicate this cost out from the business? Unfortunately, no.

However, according to this circumstance, if there are someone offering you to help sell your products but in exchange you have to let them take a picture of your products and input to their e-commerce websites. Your products will display on the websites for free and you get the nice images of the products. As such, you have more selling channels and no cost of distribution. Your partners doesn't need to bear inventory cost because of merely pictures. A thing you do is to wait orders from partners. Fasten inventory stream and increase turnover rate. Win-win scenario.

Business ThinkTank No.35- Street Show in the City

Often I extract the business idea from Springwise.com. One article narrated about the very creative tourism in New York. You can ride on the city tour bus and see the live dancers along the streets you pass. The stage is moved out to outdoor and invite audience to their show without reserving any seats or buy tickets. Just sit and see on the bus. The show will become more fantastic when happens at night time.

Think out the box, show off the hall. Street performance!

Business ThinkTank No.34- To-do-list for My Business

I run my click and mortar business for a year and a half. The shop sells musical instrument- in particular- guitar. I put forth the lessons studied from both school and real life to this business. I created the business cards that were printed at the back with the fundamental chord guitar.

I designed the board telling about the website URL and social network contact. Besides, launch continuous promotion and discount since it has opened. But not sufficient. I should do

- Acquire the multimedia presentation and place in front of the shop. In such way, I may buy one TV and DVD player, let it play the musical tutorials. Customers enjoy lessons, meanwhile increase possibility to sell goods and business brand.

- Produce freemiums like free download guitar chords which help the website obtain good pagerank scores effectively.

- Establish the bill board set up on the facade of the shop. The message should give the business persona in quick glance along with the web address.

- Product tag and indicator display like hot sale, recommend. Among products, customers have no time to consider all, why not tag the products which are high pop. Reduce time of searching and increase profitability.

- Hire musical teachers and let him/her give easy tutorials to customers.

- Establish platforms for young musician and if possible, build up music streets.

-Free beverage and candies.




Business ThinkTank No.33- Name Card after Meals

I once went to a nice and sweet Thai restaurant at Sathorn. The menus are quite delicious. Till the end of the meal I learnt many good practice from this restaurant considerably.

The restro shows the actual look of dessert, particularly-cake,  to sweet hungers.
In the sum-bill folder, there is a name card put inside. Calling customers come again.
All staff offers good manner and care.

Despite high price, I'm willing to pay for it. Worthily.
