Venture Concept No.1
My venture concept is Alcohome, an alcohol, and other vices, delivery service. This is an opportunistic idea to unleash in a college town seeing as the main demographic that would go for something like this is college aged students who still use poison on the frequent. That's slang, i'm hip. Anyway, the need itself is, as the kids may say, chaotic good. It's a service that could save lives, and more importantly, time for people to do more desirable things with their flesh prisons instead of going out and getting there liquified grain. This could be extremely beneficial in the fast pace society we live in today, especially in college. If Alcohome were a thing in 2009, it would've been mentioned in Asher's song. But on the flip side, it's providing people with alcohol and other means of slowly killing oneself, and making it ok to be even lazier in the means of acquiring this stuff. This however is not a tall prison, because it's easy to rationalize that people will get their fix regardless when it comes down to it. Right now, in Gainseville, people are getting friends to buy alcohol for them. Like right now as you read this I promise even if it's like 3am. This will happen no matter what. But this window of opportunity will always be open in college towns, until the opportunity is seized. This is innovative because it brings something to people that they usually have to go and get. It provides convenience and a sense of instant gratification, which people need these days. It's not life changing, but it's a neat idea that could very realistically become the norm in contemporary society. Until we like 3d print our alcohol or get injections or something better like the means to actually love ourselves and be comfortable in our skin. People will switch because it's easier. People will like the job as well i'd imagine. Competitors are shops that don't ID kids, because those are always an option. Coming up with a business would be fun. I'd imagine like 10 delivery people and some others to oversee everything runs smoothly. My secret sauce is me. I'll see something done if I want too. Next would be weed when it's legal and if this thing works in Gainesville I'd like to expand to other college towns, ideally all of them except FSU because im petty and that would be funny. And leave the market open over there for some idiot to try this and most likely crash and burn hilariously. Good Day.

Brian,
ReplyDeleteI see how your idea could be appealing to young adults in a college town, but for legal reasons and logistics your company is not possible. To offer a product that goes against the laws of the United States, you would have to utilize the Black Market for your distribution medium, which is also illegal. I know instant gratification and getting drunk underage will continue to happen especially in the duration of college, but fueling illegal habits only will make the problem worse and although fun is the immediate thing we think of, we need to keep in mind safety. Not to be a prude or anything, but this will only increase reckless behavior which is a safety hazard and sometimes fatal sadly. In addition your business plan was quite informal and did not meet the word count requirement.
Here is the link to my venture concept: Clear Vote. Enjoy.

Brian,
ReplyDeleteHonestly I have no idea what your talking about. I guess I'm not hip? I guess your company would be an alcohol delivery service,,right? If so, this seems like something not many would consider using, especially if there was a fee. I mean people sell alcohol usually pretty close to college campuses for the same reason you think this company could work, college students love to drink. So why would a student want to use your service instead of just going to the store and picking it up if the store is close? Don't mean to be harsh, just really had a hard time catching on to this concept. Good luck. Check out my blog here: Hey Wallace,
This is a good idea. I think if it were me I would begin marketing by starting an awareness campaign. I think the price of the helmet could be a deal breaker. I spent like 40 bucks on my bike, so I don't think I would feel good about spending almost double on a helmet... The other thing is the helmet industry already exists and if they are selling cheaper helmets than yours i think the helmet would have to offer more than just being able to customize. This could be a hit or a miss honestly, but good idea! Check out my blog here:http://blovejoyblog.blogspot.com/2016/03/venture-concept-no-1.html
