Improve the Shower Experience While Traveling with Nir Bashan
Nuggets:
- The first step is often to build your self belief and overcome your fears
- U.S. business travel is a massive market ($1.6 trillion); business travelers took 462 million trips in 2013
Action Steps:
- Find a similar product and try to sell it to one of your appropriate connections—a frequent traveler—using the marketing and branding you intend to ultimately use.
- Get feedback via forums that business travelers use; ask what they think about the shower experience.
- Connect with an engineer on Upwork and hire them to design a prototype
- Utilize a Kickstarter or landing page to fundraise and test out your marketing ideas. Try mimicking a humorous & successful brand like Dollar Shave Club.
- After proving and tweaking the concept, build a larger market through giveaways, social media and influencer marketing (e.g. trade a tool for reviews or photos of influencers using it).
- Settle on a price point at which it will be “impossible to say no.”
- Develop more extensive distribution channels and make your way to airport gift shops and luggage retailers.
