existing problem for people. There are thousands
of problems in the world. Create a product that
can provide a solution to one of those problems.
2. Find
out what's the current hot trend. You can find
out what the new trends are by watching T.V,
reading magazines and surfing the net. Just
create a product that's related to the current
hot trend.
3.
Improve a product that is already on the market.
You see products at home, in ads, at stores etc.
Just take a product that's already out there and
improve it.
4. Create
a new niche for a current product. You can set
yourself apart from your competition by creating
a niche. Your product could be faster, bigger,
smaller, or quicker than you competitor's
product.
5. Add on
to an existing product. You could package your
current product with other related products. For
example, you could package a football with a team
jersey and football cards.
6.
Reincarnate an older product. Maybe you have a
book that's out of print and is no longer being
sold. You could change the title, design a new
front cover, and bring some of the old content up
to date.
7. Ask
your current customers. You could contact some of
your existing customers by phone or e-mail and
ask them what kind of new products they would
like to see on the market.
8.
Combine two or more products together to create a
new one. For example, you could take a brief case
and add a thermos compartment inside to keep a
drink hot or cold.
9. Survey
the people who visit your web site. You could
post a survey or questionnaire on your web site.
Ask visitors what kind of products they would
like to see on the market.
10. You
could create a new market for your existing
product. For example, if you're selling plastic
bottles to a pop company, you could turn around
and sell those bottles to a fruit drink company.
