Hi Scott,
It's time for your weekly fix of entrepreneurial ideas! The latest Springwise newsletter
is now online. Here's a quick run-down of the business concepts featured in this edition:
Brick-and-mortar kiosks sell mobile content
Telecom & mobile / Retail
Although mobile content is something consumers can buy and down-
load virtually anywhere, Chinese Duo Guo is banking on a different
approach by selling content through kiosks in brick-and-mortar stores.
Converting standard Corollas into electric cars
Automotive / Eco & sustainability
Sähköautot–Nyt! is taking an innovative approach to getting more
electric-powered vehicles on the road. Instead of building a new model
from scratch, they'll retro-fit existing Toyota Corollas.
More cosmetics tryvertising by mail
Marketing & advertising / Fashion & beauty
Last year we wrote about a program through which women can sign
up to receive beauty product samples to test out at home each month.
A new, similar concept gives consumers even more choice.
Boosting suburban farming
Eco & sustainability / Homes & housing / Food & beverage
Australian Permablitz is a group that focuses on bringing sustainable,
edible gardens to the suburban neighbourhoods around Melbourne,
using team effort to speed up the process.
Book publisher for kids
Media & publishing
We've already written about companies that serve as book publishers
for the masses, and now Tikatok has launched into beta a new
service that brings the same opportunity to kids.
Import/export intelligence service
Marketing & advertising
Importers, manufacturers and retailers can benefit from an easy way to
keep tabs on the shipping and receiving activities of their competitors
and suppliers. Two new services offer instant access in real time.
Platform for healthcare 2.0
Lifestyle & leisure
Jay Parkinson MD has teamed up with Myca, a Canadian provider of
health technology, to develop Hello Health, a technology platform that's
designed to open intelligent channels between patients and doctors.
More eco-friendly bedding
Homes & housing / Eco & sustainability
Sleep Limited's line of eco sleep products features pure, unbleached
cotton and 100 percent recycled polyester fiberfill made largely from
recycled drink bottles.
Property tax advocates
Life hacks / Homes & housing / Financial services
Helping California property owners file for a reduction in property taxes,
Prop8 targets consumers who are legally entitled to compensation
but are unaware or too busy to claim it.
Adopt-a-designer program for crowdfunded fashion
Fashion & beauty
More crowdfunding! Supporters of participating fashion designers can
buy shares in their work for EUR 14 in the hope of sharing in future
profits.
It's time for the newsletter to take a short summer break, so our next issue will arrive in
your inbox on June 18th instead of next week. But don't fear—we'll be posting new business
ideas daily as usual!
Warm regards,
