Hello all,

First, thank you in advance for any critique / feedback.

Instead of trying to come up with the next revolutionary idea, I thought of the following ‘back to basics’. I noticed in my home country that there is a growing trend for container homes/offices/bathrooms etc. However, very few companies and even fewer sites sell unmodified containers. Even the home/offices/bathroom ones are not so well marketized (in my opinion),

I want to simply take advantage of technology and build a platform to sell used containers, delivered to your terrain. I have a supplier and the price spread is reasonable high. In addition, with just a simple G-Ads campaign and introductory level SEO you can already stand out as I stated before, the competition is mostly ‘older’ generations who don’t care much about this and run through word of mouth.

Unlike cars, one can simply look at good photos and a video and get an idea of the quality of the container. One can buy without seeing it. I can even (hopefully) arrange not to have the stock myself and instead buy as soon as I get a purchase.

If there is a demand, would my platform have sufficient competitive advantage just because we list better in Google or other social media?

It’s nothing revolutionary and maybe even boring, but the competition is very poor in terms of internet and seems the spread is significant. Open to comments.

looks like an interesting opportunity as fas as I can tell and actually you do not need to come up with something revolutionary. Innovation means take something existing and improve it. Why don't you look for an unsolved problem or a product which is actually flawed that and can be improved. In your example why don't you take over the marketing campaign and use the existing sales channels - Older folks might like hard copies more nicely done well structured per container plus QR code for video walkthrough or you look for a problem within the container - improve the water heater, improve for use for disabled people, or offer a modified office sample with all modern connection as a heat shrinkable tubing - not sure just my 2 cents on this
