Today is Sunday; it is too hot to go for a long ride on the motorcycle and way too hot to work outside. I decided I would go into town in my pickup and get some chalk for my chalk line. On the way into town I forced myself to stop at the Star Bucks coffee emporium. That is where I came up with the perfect idea for coffee lovers.
As usual, when I come up with a money making idea I give it away. Today was no exception. When the fellow brought my coffee to the window, I told him I would give him a money making idea but I wanted a small percentage of the profit. He listened.
I explained that there is a very strong, “coffee aroma” that greets the customer when they open the window to serve you. I then suggested that Star Bucks should make an “aroma enhancer” (air fresheners) with that wonderful coffee aroma. He seemed to like the idea but, they are paid to be nice to paying customers.
As I see it, the “aroma enhancer” would come in at least 3 versions.
One version is a spray bottle; when sprayed on a carpet in a vehicle or on a cloth placed in a vehicle or room, the aroma should last about 30 minutes to an hour.
Second version would be an “aroma enhancer” that could be placed on an air conditioner vent. In this version the aroma would last a week or so.
My third version would be a paper type “aroma enhancer” that could be hung on a mirror or any place. In this version the aroma would last a few hours.
To get customers interested in the “aroma enhancer” they would give the third version (smallest and least expensive) away to customers over a several week period of time with an advertisement to purchase.
Think how many positive comments you might get when someone gets into your vehicle or comes into your office when the “aroma enhancer” is being used. This product could be used in a man cave or just about anywhere. Think about this; next time you are on a flight and the fellow sitting in the seat next to you smells as if he hasn’t ever had a bath, you could deploy an “aroma enhancer” and the situation may not be perfect, but it would be better.
I hope you have an “aroma enhanced” day.
