Got Tissue Pack Marketing?
 
Something to sneeze at I don't know but article claims it's been hot in Japan
and now you can get in on a ground floor (wastebasket) opportunity.

Off the top of my head might seem like a fit for those in the wedding and funeral business or other business associated with lots of crying.

Garth,

Interesting that you bring up Tissue Pack Advertising...

Years ago I read a Fun book about business ideas in Japan...

From Love Hotels, portable sleeping cubicles, just like stacked storage units, hydraulic parking systems for homes and offices, as if you have more than one car you must have a place to park it. :)

Lots of animation, comic type stuff was just starting, along with more Funny weird stuff...

And then there was Tissue Pack Advertising which every restaurant had Promotion people handing out by the 1,000's because...

At that time Restaurants in Japan did not offer Toilet Paper in their Washrooms. :)

Therefore Tissue Packs became the Most Wanted Toilet necessity. ;)

I actually looked into the idea for North America But Tissue Pack manufacturers wanted Mega volumes, therefore it was impossible to produce small runs for restaurants...

And there was Too Much damm Toilet Paper available at most restaurants!

Although today, you could probably use Sticky type stickers for anyone interested in the idea and doing small runs...

Reading international business idea books and web sites Definitely makes for some good reading...

Although you may want to pass on the Chocolate covered insects etc...

Great insight Phil only thing I would question is your assumption that restaurants and just about any other American store actually HAVE TOILET PAPER!

Everywhere I go I so dread taking my son into one those stores' drainage dumps. Even places that thrive on kiddie traffic like McDonald's are often suspect.

However I just marvel at how anytime we go to Disney the bathrooms are cleaner than Mr. Clean's bald head and yet their volume is geometric.

Don't see why these smaller places can't make bathrooms pristine.
