New Product Idea, help please

After many years of trial and error we are now in a position to pitch an alternative Twitter concept to someone who has expressed an interest, name of Donald.

To be honest there have been logistical problems but we think we have them cracked now that we have cornered the market for tin and string.

So, it is a simple idea, 85 million tin cans and lots of string.

It has gone down well in focus groups but my question to you is, what do you think could possibly go wrong?

Thank you in advance for your participation
 
85 million pieces of string means a very large knot at your hub site. Have you secured suitable premises?
Apart from that, sounds promising.
👍
 
Yes, or over.

We were going to have the big launch in Cannes, for obvious reasons, but its down to Zoom from my home work space now.

We can paint the cans any colour the client wants, The Donald has expressed an interest on orange with a blond lid
 
Have you thought about security? The last thing you need is a vandal with a pair of scissors ✂️
 
Which type of can are you planning to use? I know someone not to far away who has a large supply of ones which used to contain worms.
 
It ticks all the boxes on sustainability if you are using recycled baked bean cans..how about the string ?

You also need a brand and identity and possibly a slogan like 'Can do"..maybe thats the company name Cando.
 
- In The Donalds cell all scissors will be removed
- We thought a can with a really good echo
- Yes, the name is up for grabs or we are happy to licence it, Cando or CannedOff or StrungUp might work.
- A strapline, " Don't get cut of when you Cando" has a proposition in it which might resonate
 
- Yes, but our 7 year olds are doing the chimney today
- Its a new to market idea so and we think string gives up a USP
- I can see that invisible paint might have an attraction, well I can't if you see what I mean

Or just "Yes Candoo"
 
Take into account what height the string will be at. If it's up to about 18 inches, it will have to be marked as a tripping hazard. If it's less than about 18 feet it will have to have noticed to earn drivers of high vehicles of the limited height. Problems, problems.
 
Yes,is good as it has the positive which is better than Don't but its probably a later in the process line once we have established brand recognition

Curryman, that's just the kind of practical thinking the team has been missing, what's you hourly rate?
 
Thinking ahead could this also be an email device too ? Its technically possible to write a note on a piece of paper..fold in half hang over your side of the string, and just hold the can above the head thus, while the 'email' slides hopefully at speed down the line to the person on the other end of the call..time may be an issue, but its guaranteed not to go to any junk folder.
 
Yes, I can see some potential there, mind what would happen if the person on the other end was taller than you, suppose you could always contact them via the can/string device - CanDo (now registered by the way) and ask them to crouch down.
 
This reminds me of a young guy trying for a copy writing job in an add agency. The boss gave him a test.

Lets see if you can come up with a name and a strapline for this new grease removing product. Guy goes off and thinks hard then comes back full of smiles with a name and a strapline.

Name: Best universal grease and grime remover
Strapline: If Daz won't shift and Vim won't lift it Bugger it

Nice idea lad but not quiet what we are looking for have another go.

Lad comes back with:

- Name: Finest universal cleaner known
- Strapline: If Daz won't shift it and Vim won't lift it Fuck it.

maybe the kit comes with 2 spare cans that can be used as spares or can be used to tie under feet if one was to have a taller caller...Cando !
 
Thanks Lytham.

There have been quite a lot of start up cost so in fairness to other investors you will need to make a slightly larger contribution than a slightly iffy product name.

That's what my FD told me to say
