Re: Ideas For Business - [quote="Lucy Wu":1jgzn2hg] And here’s our plan so far: 1. We buy our products at "Costco" and sell them for higher price. 2. We play live music to entertain people. 3. We need to find a good location for this. (Which we do not know yet where, but any suggestions would be helpful. We are located in Toronto)[/quote:1jgzn2hg] 1. I like the hot Coco and Apple Cider idea. If you can wear clothing to go with a theme (like Carolers during Christmas) you will get more attention. 2. The weather is getting colder in Toronto - Are you sure you and your partner are up to playing live music outdoors? 3. distillery district, Nathan Philips Square, Subways stations (need TTC vendor license and it's warmer), in fact any public/Tourist ice rink (Mel Lastman Sq, Harbour Front, Nathan Philips) I hope you can spend some more thought on this idea. Look for something that you are passionate about but there is a "screaming want" in the Toronto market. Also the idea should be duplicate-able.. what do I mean - well it should not have to depend on you being present to have the business run. Selling Hot Coco and Apple Cider only is duplicate-able because you just have to show someone how to do it once and they can now do it in multiple locations. Warning about the idea though: Canadians can be very skeptical about purchasing food products that are sold in public and not out of a retail store - how do I know - I just asked 10 random people here in the office that live downtown and all 10 said they would never even consider purchasing it in that fashion - it's not the Idea - It's just a "trust" thing.
Facebook application - Hi Kevin - thanks for the suggestion! The two that we were thinking of were Famous Entrepreneur Quotes and Which famous entrepreneur am I most like? I like your idea as well. We've got a rollout schedule of new features for the site that we are working on first before we can get to the Facebook app. We're also not sure how hard it is to integrate into Facebook. It looks like there is a php way to do it which is great because that is our core competency.

[/quote:36s714h1] So far my own foray into Facebook has been a complete bust, though I expected that from the start. But if I do an Application for my own particular field of interest, such as Your Favorite Sci Fi movie...that might get people going. So Evan when you figure out how to do this please let me know how complicated it is!!
