Hey,
Yes, another idea thread. This is my first one. I did AF marketing in the past, and can't stand it now. I would like a fastlane business. Something to call my own.
My gf and I thought a really great business idea would be in the form of a monthly tampon subscription service. I found out there were some companies already doing this, and then I read one of the last chapters in TMF about finding a unique spin, and generally just doing something better than the competition.
A lot of women do not like buying tampons in the store, and in the US alone, tampons are an 8 billion dollar a year business.
Currently, it seems pretty much all of the competition are just selling the normal brands. Our idea is to brand our business around organic tampons, to set ourselves apart from the pack. I have contacted a few companies to discuss purchasing from them, and we could get the tampons branded. My gf also says that she has never seen a company encase their tampons in something discreet looking like a lipstick case, etc, so that is another possible idea to set us apart.
I have also read some reviews about the other companies, and their seems to be a lot of complaints about shipping etc that would need to be handled.
You don't have to validate my idea, that is fine. But it would be great if I could get some help in the right direction, from people that have been down this route before with their own stuff. I have read some branding stuff, and am currently reading as much on this forum as I can. I don't code, but that can't stop me from outsourcing the web design. I read a few posts on copywriting, but I want to apply my time in the best possible way, and I think branding may be a good start. Thoughts?
All the Best,
Cody
