Here are 5 articles I found that portray potential business opportunities.
1. Fast
but not furious: starting with a quick-drying underpainting and working with
medium allow an alla prima painter to make "at once" last longer
The author of this article talks
about his painting habits. While he loves to paint very quickly and get
everything done in one sitting, he has a problem with his oil paints. They don’t
dry fast enough for him to keep moving on and painting other coats. He speaks
about all of the methods that he has used to try to solve this issue. He has
tried priming his canvas with other paints, but he has to do two coats for
large canvases. I believe that his problem could be more easily resolved by
getting material engineers to work with the chemical makeup of oil paints and
see if they can alter it slightly so that it will dry quicker. This would help oil
painters all around.
2. Weather alert: 40s in South Florida, with a warming
trend this week
This article is describing the
current cold weather that we have been having across the country and
specifically in Florida. This Sunday morning, the temperature in Gainesville.
FL was twenty eight degrees. This article is also informing the public that it
is forecasted to rain later in the week. Specifically in Gainesville, this is
bad news for students who are from father south and not prepared for this
weather. They are going to need warm drinks to keep them warmed up. If someone
tried to sell warm beverages in areas on campus where there are currently no
Starbucks locations, they could fill a need.
3. High winds knock out power for thousands in
Miami-Dade, Broward
This article describes an issue that
was happening yesterday, Jan 23 in Miami-Dade. Over five thousand South Floridians
were left without power due to high winds. At this point, it has not yet been
reported that the power has been restored. These south Floridians are probably
in need of generators and space heaters to keep them warm. Anyone willing to
start selling generators to retailers there would have a great opportunity to
make money.
4. Single-family home prices soar in Broward County
This article describes the
single-family home prices in Broward County and their rising prices. People are
willing to pay a lot of money for these homes because the supply is low. Any
contractors who are looking for places to start developing homes should look
into Broward County as they could have a chance to sell their homes for a lot
of money. Also, home renovators could make a good business by renovating older
homes in the area to sell to people who want the new home feel.
5. Hoverboards with fake batteries seized at PortMiami
This article describes a confiscation
of hundreds of hoverboards due to the fact that many of them have been using
cheap batteries that are likely to explode and have been illegally mislabeled
as name brand products. These hoverboards have been extrememely popular in the
past few months. However, I believe that there is a need for a brand of
hoverboards that can be trusted. Someone need to make a hoverboard product that
the consumer can know will not blow up, spontaneously combust or break. A
marketing campaign based on safety hazards could promote this product to
parents who would be less afraid to buy them for their children.
These were some really good articles that you outlined in this post. I found the hoverboard one really interesting because they have really blown up lately. It seemed like every little kid was getting one this Christmas, but then there was an issue with them lighting on fire. I think a reliable brand would be nice if one could separate itself from the rest because the safety of them is a huge issue.
