In another interesting vending machine variation, a British company has created a machine capable of mixing drinks and requiring far fewer top-ups than conventional machines through an innovative internal pouch system.
Technology: Interconnected resealable pouches can be stored in high volume and filled in-machine on demand.

The vending machines for selling drink is a very old idea. But their U.S.P. are the machine it self which can require far fewer top-ups than conventional machines and the drink they sell. So if this new drinks are really good. I think put vending machines in school and near office is a good idea. If they can keep creating new drinks when the sales goes down, many people will like to try the new drink. I think it will be a good business.

Acting Troupe for Home Performance Hire

Teatr Rozmaitosci in Warsaw, Poland, offer clients an in-home theatrical performance form a group of professional actors-what a party or dinner novelty!

This is a new business idea which is a kind of service. Their customers are the people who feel lonely and bored at home and also they are not definitely poor. But why people choose to have this service instead of going to theater? I think probably most of people will prefer to go to theater or cinema. So I think it’s difficult to make this idea work and let business make more profit. But when someone have a big party and celebrate some festival at home, maybe they would like to ask this service. And some old people who can’t go out will like this service. So it still have some market. This is a new idea, so how to let other people know this service is very important, and different customers like different shows, so they should have many chooses for customers. If they want to do this business in other countries, location and culture are the other tings they need to consider.

This is a quite good advertisement. But next one is unbelievable!!! Be careful the word he said, and the environment of the room.

Free Photocopies on Advertising-Sided Paper

Tadacopy in Japan offers students free photocopying though there is on reason why the business model could not work more broadly. The revenue comes from advertising placed on the reverse side of the paper.

This is a really new business idea. And it’s a new way to make profit. The revenue comes from advertising placed so if we want make business bigger. I think first we should let more and more students come there and use it and make it popular. So that the price of advertising placed will be higher. But I think the costs of this business will be very high. Because photocopies for students are free. How to reduce the costs is another thing we should do. Maybe we can limit the number of students to copy in a day. So if students want to copy they will come earlier and maybe it can make it popular at the same time.

iPod Vending Machine

Using vending machines to sell iPods can reduce costs and it is easier for customers to buy the product? What about the guarantee for the product? How can I make sure OF the quality of the product, especially this kind of product? Another problem is to how to keep the machine safe. If using vending machine s to sell products which are expensive. Probably someone will break the machine and steal products. So it’s difficult to keep them safe. I think they can put machines inside of the shop.

Soccer Ball Vending Machine

Nike has developed football vending machines-perfect for special edition balls that are not available in normal retail channels. As Nike stared this program in Singapore in 2005, these machines should be starting to turn up on second-hand marker and thus offer an interesting business proposition.

The U.S.P. of this business idea is the special edition ball. But why sell them in vending machine? I don’t think it’s really good idea. Using vending can reduce the cost that’s true. But if balls are really specially, maybe someone wants to steal them. And also selling balls need more space then selling sweets and drinks in vending machine. So if they want to sell more we must make it bigger.
I think they can put vending machines which are selling cheap balls near football playground or park.

Fully Retractable Umbrella

The Lotus 23 is a self-cleaning (think rainy water), fully-retractable umbrella with flexible ribs that allow it to flow with the wind, It is also cheaper to manufacture and more durable than a conventional umbrella.
I like this product because it’s a product which is easy to take and use. Also it’s more durable than a conventional umbrella. So that’s the U.S.P. of the product. It's a fully retractable umbrella which is good for protecting the environment. Retraction will also reduce costs. Countries which are rain a lot will have a big market. Especially for some countries which are rain a lot and have strong wind. Customers need more durable and convenient umbrella. So it will have a big market. But if the product sell very well, they should try to preventing others copy it.
