Ads on Rubbish Bins Idea that sparked me!
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Hey all!
Loads of biz ideas flooding my mind lately.. Seems like I’m
going nuts soon. Why? I totally couldn’t sleep last night. My creative juices
couldn’t stop secreting and I’m overly excited over every single one of them. Well
they are my babies, why would I not? Among the things that I’m most excited
about is that I really hope to be able to work with our great Mr Ng Khai Lee on
some biz ideas if he ever finds this nobody here a somebody worth taking onto
his creative team. I don’t know if that would have the slightest possibility
but I’d never felt so attached to anything contributive to the nation, and
possibly to the world and at the same time personally believe having promising
profitability in mind. Best yet so passionate I just want so badly to take
actions on them and making them happen. Courtesy to youthsays.com. Here’s a
challenge I’m giving myself now, “one
practical biz idea a day, keeps all Malaysians societal inefficiencies away.”
Challenging my mind to its limitation, hopefully this will gradually make my
vision for a website portal possible (that’s the key thing I hope to work on
with our talented Mr Ng and the rest). Details on the web portal another day.
Anyway getting to the inspiration I was saying. Let’s have
ourselves in check of certain “problems” we are facing in our beautiful
country. Don’t the public rubbish bins always disturb us all? Aren’t them just a
pain in the eye and nose? Even for mouth (well when you decide to stop breathing
that split second passing by the “well-maintained” rubbish bins, and
instinctively decide to let your mouth do the breathing, okay.. aren’t you
introducing more germs into your body? Lol!)..
So the brief proposal I’m suggesting will look something
like,
Problem: poorly managed public rubbish
bins.
Proposed
solution: having corporate advertisements
on public rubbish bins mandated by government ruling
Why? Well it’s a
win-win solution for me.
1. You (the corporate companies) get to advertise in
public (mass coverage man! Imagine the number of rubbish bins you can sponsor
and maintain voluntarily then) and practice your CSR!
2. You (the government) do not have to go through
the trouble if you can’t find the best balance to keep check of both public
benefits and the maintenance costs eating into our public funds. Why bother if
the capitalists (corporate companies) can do a better job than you at a more
cost-effective and beneficial way?
3. We (the public) feel refreshed! No more struggle
on our eyes, nose or mouth!
Proposal Details: the
mandated rules!
1. First come first serve basis. The first company
to come forward to pick the public spots and take the number of “bins” get what
they want.
2. Did I mention it’s mandatory for all public
listed companies to do it?
3. Don’t worry about them not maintaining their
bins, coz their corporate images are at stake.
4. Refer to rule number 1-3. Because you (the
corporate companies) don’t want to lose out. Locations and corporate image matter,
right?
My inspirations? Someone talked about mandatory
rules which I never liked, coupled with one of my weird vision during the
night, I was seeing little coca-cola cans thrown against the HUGE coca-cola can
you see in Genting. How cool is that? Please do feedback and comment!
Future plans: I think if this works out, the
government should be eyeing on the public washrooms next. Imagine outside every
toilet having this comment box and immediately above that box you see this cool
label/ decorative plate “courtesy to (your respective company managing the
washroom)” and your website advertised below.
Ps: hey
don’t copy my idea if you think it appears cool to you okay? I’m sure you don’t
wana miss out more ideas from me, do you? Hope I’m beginning to deserve your
recognition by now? Hmm.. by the way, I’m
not aware if this happens in other nations now, (hopefully not) but I certainly
hope we are leading this trend! Malaysia boleh!
Inspired,
