The next big thing

Here is my product: Pet Rentals! Lots of people love fuzzy creatures, but a lot of them either can’t keep one (Apartment, Housing regulation, Roommates, etc.), or they don't want to take care of one. With pet rentals, people could just rent a pet for a day, and then bring it back. The real catcher will be that not only is it a rental store, but you can also buy the pets outright. Imagine how many people would rent a pet only to decide at the end of the day that they want to keep it. The TV ad would go like this: A nerdy little guy walks into the store and rents a cute little dog. Flash to him walking the dog in a park. An attractive woman walks by and says, "That is the cutest dog I have ever seen!" The nerd replies with new self-confidence, "Wow, you are the first person he has taken a liking to. He has good taste." Flash to the two of them getting married, and the dog dressed up in a little doggie tuxedo. It is a sure thing! If only I had some motivation, my chain of pet rental stores would be as widespread as Starbucks. :)

Sounds like a pretty imaginative idea! One concern though is that the young, cute animals would get rented all the time. (Hell, I'd rent a puppy every weekend just to meet girls!) But, what about the pets that get old and fat? Would anyone rent them? You might try to find homes for them, but it would be much harder to find them homes than the cute, young animals. Would you be forced to support them for the rest of their lives, or euthanize them? Neither would be an attractive option, but I think euthanizing them would be hardest. ------------------------------------------ When I was a kid, I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord, in his wisdom, didn't work that way. So I just stole one and asked him to forgive me. - Emo Phillips

I would just get more mileage out of the pets while they were young. I think an ideal solution would be to have the older pets live in the store, and little kids could come in and pet them for free (and still rent/buy them if they wanted).

Actually, small children make better babe magnets, but getting rid of them when they get older (teens) is more complicated. With small animals you can always use Pet Processing, Inc. Keep in mind, too, that in some areas rental sheep may provide a higher margin opportunity than cats and dogs. "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

I smell a sheep pimp!;)
All of my opinions are correct, even when reality makes the mistake of disagreeing with me.

You could, but most customers - especially those who order around closing time at the pub - will want to serve her breakfast, as well. A few may want to take her to a movie, or the park. Best to ask a flat day rate in such cases. "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

This sounds like real animal exploitation, and I advise you not to take it seriously. The pets would be traumatized by having such a variety of owners that they would be psychologically imbalanced. Rogers Pet Processing sounds kinder in comparison. Regardz Colin J Davies
