Default Do You Think There’s A Huge Market For This???

Do You Think There’s A Huge Market For This???

Stainless Steel Scratch Removal. I’m wondering how you would find out if there’s a market for this service in your town. This company say’s they have the only product that removes scratches from stainless steel. I've never seen this service before. Check it out at: http://www.etrafficresults.com/increaseincome.html

Thank You,
Jason Hatchett

Jason,

There may be! I've never heard of such a service, but I'll bet it wouldn't take an awful lot of advertising to get the word out.

Fliers at Lowe's, Home Depot, HH Craig, etc.

No I don't. But I could be wrong. Why not do some cheap and easy market research for yourself.

Most indsutrial kitchens have tons of stainless steel...our submarine galley was all stainless...and we used scotch brite product to clean and remove scratches...I'm quite certain there are several products on the market...as for the deep scratches? Maybe they do have a process for filling in and buffing out, but, who wants this service when the same company sells a "Do It Yourself" kit?

I'd bet you that the vast majority will live with a scratch before they get it taken care of unless there are health department concerns.

Call or visit your favorite restaurants...ask the manager what they use now, and if they have any deep scratches.

I don't think you can price this service high enough to make any money, but, like I said, I could be wrong. 185 per scratch? Give the people you come across a quote at that price, and see what happens Jason.

So many better opportunities, but, who knows, you could be the Stainless Steel Superstar that makes tons of cash. Call and/or visit before you invest any money.

Default Research says...

The product is called "Scratch-B-Gone". Sells for $44.95 + Shipping for the kit which includes instructional video.

Available on Ebay (http://tinyurl.com/2eg87w) for $33.95 + Shipping.

Now, having managed a few restaurants in my day, I really doubt that there's much of a commercial need for such a service. Clean inside & out, scratches were not ever a major concern.

However, I can see where you might pick up cash doing touch-up in home, or even working with various contractors.

After awhile most just accept a few scratches... Don't you...

Probably a very small and Hard to convince marketplace...

Instead of concentrating on the Removal of scratches from stainless steel...

Take the basic idea and Expand the Target marketing potential...

Trend watching says Consumers want the Fresh look of Stainless steel for their older appliances...

Focused on the Decorating Trends and Consumerism must have's...

Consumerism is the equating of personal happiness with the purchasing of material possessions and consumption...

Do your Homework... And Service their needs...

It's called... http://www.hgtv.com/ Business ideas...

It's a New "Powder" that "Eats Oil" off commercial kitchen floors. Environmentally Safe...just sprinkle the stuff on and let it sit. The "microbes" do the job.

I know 2 people who have a route of restaurant and commercial Kitchens. I think they visit their clients at least once a month or sooner. Kitchen floors in these places can get pretty "greasy" fast.

I don't think I have seen one like it either, but I can tell you that some folk will love the idea. I have a big gash in my stove door right now from "rough housing" in the kitchen one day with my boys and if they can get that mess out, I will gladly pay rather than replace my stove!
