> FLUPPI!!!

> This last weekend my wife and I attended the
> Home Show in our area. It is a display of
> area businesses related to home improvement,
> products and service businesses related to
> the "home". Well it was great, and
> I get a real charge out of seeing new
> products and services and how they are sold,
> what is HOT and what people are buying.

> This year my favorite was the
> "Fluppi".

> The Fluppi is a simple hand vacuum that
> works like a hokey or bissel with a simple
> rotary brush on the bottom with a tray for
> dumping the dirt. You can use it in your
> car, furniture, boat etc. They sold for
> $7.00 and I bet a dozen or more people were
> crowding around buying them up! Impulse
> buying at its finest. They had a few lined
> up on a carpet table and they let the PEOPLE
> try them out.

> Now, I am sure you could find a wholesale
> source for these things, they are made in
> Germany and I bet you could get them in
> quantity for $2.00 each? Maybe less? I don't
> know but if they sold them for $7.00 and
> were making $5.00 per Fluppi, they made no
> less than $60.00 profit in about 10 minutes.

> What if you brought a dozen of these into an
> office building somewhere I bet you could
> sell 50 or more per day quite easy. Handy
> little things.
> Impluse item buy. Priced right.

> Well, I could go on about selling the
> Fluppi, but the point is this product was
> HOT with people at the Home Show.
