From a weekly email I receive from Springwise.com, some ideas to stimulate your own creativity:
It's time for your weekly fix of entrepreneurial ideas! Our latest issue is now online. Here's
a quick run-down of the promising new businesses featured on Springwise this week:
Bakery focuses on bite-size treats
Food & beverage / Retail
When we wrote last year about Minnies and its bite-size burgers, we
noted the concurrent rise of dessert-only eateries. A new bakery
combines the two trends.
Bedding designed by (and for) kids
Homes & housing / Style & design
Australian Kideko sells a variety of children's bedding featuring bright,
bold colours and innovative designs. Now, the company is holding a
contest to find a kid-created design to add to its collection.
E-mail signatures for Election '08
Marketing & advertising / Non-profit & social cause
As the US presidential election winds up to a fever pitch, there's no
doubt passionate supporters are looking for ways to give their side an
edge. One such tool is a custom e-mail signature.
Pop-up hotel lobbies lure office workers to the park
Marketing & advertising / Travel & tourism
Launching its new tech-savvy lobbies in a big way, Sheraton invited
New Yorkers to abandon their desks to work from Central Park,
where it temporarily installed several Link (at) Sheraton lounges.
Upscale takeaway meets on-site cooking school
Food & beverage / Retail
Over the years we've written about several companies that specialize
in the preparation and delivery of high-end meals that are ready to be
cooked in the consumer's home. A London startup offers a new twist.
Wedding invitations, super-sized
Lifestyle & leisure / Style & design
Seattle-based Poster Bride makes invitations to celebrate weddings
in grand style. Each serigraph is custom-designed and hand-printed
on poster-sized paper.
Virgin Atlantic's seat covers, reborn as bags
Eco & sustainability / Fashion & beauty
Worn Again -- an eco-fashion initiative -- has teamed up with Virgin
Atlantic to turn old aircraft seat covers and other materials into stylish
new bags and toiletry cases.
Bike stand doubles as tire pump
Transportation / Style & design
A bike innovation out of the Netherlands recently caught the attention
of one of our spotters: a combination bike stand and tire pump,
designed for use in public spaces.
Marketplace for unused brands
Marketing & advertising
Launched last month, Texas-based IncSpring is a virtual marketplace
linking graphic designers with businesses interested in pre-designed
but unused corporate logos, brands and corporate identities.
Local produce, delivered by bicycle
Eco & sustainability / Food & beverage / Transportation
It's hard to imagine a business for which emissions-free travel makes
more sense than the delivery of fresh organic produce. Which is why
a Florida company delivers by bicycle-towed trailer.
