Next Big Thing? Arks!
Remember how people would build bomb shelters in their backyards during the height of the cold war? And how folks bought generators right before Y2K? These are people who wanted to be prepared for the worst and were not afraid to spend money to do it. Along those lines, I have the next Big Thing to tap this market: personal arks.
Ark like Noah’s Ark, just with fewer animals. Something you would have on hand for when need arises. You can load your family (and your own pets) into it and just float away on the next flood.
This might not appeal worldwide, but they would be huge in California.
I figure I can have a spectrum of types. Bare bones arks for the prepared, yet frugal market. Larger ones for those with big families. High end luxury arks for people who want to sail away with all the comforts of home.
When it’s not flooding (if it ever stops flooding), arks can act as guest accommodations in the backyard. You could use them to stable chickens (do you stable chickens? Probably not). I would not recommend using them for storage, as you’d probably have to chuck out all that junk when you need to use the ark.
I admit I’m a bit confused about how one steers an ark. Did Noah have to steer? Possibly not. I would not emphasize this in my marketing. I would emphasize convenience and preparedness. Maybe I can have tie-in deals with freeze-dried food dealers and battery manufacturers. The business prospects for this idea are endless.
All I need to do is:
Learn how to build arks
Wait for rain
Profit!
