Guest guest Report post Posted November 30, 2002 Hi Nikki > Shipping and instructions are included! Fact is, i'll pay shipping if > ya just take her! Well, it's very tempting - but I'm just trying to work out whether having an evil twin would be a real benefit - admittedly it would be very useful to blame any mistakes on them, but then you've got to consider the down-side - you've got to feed them, house them, etc. and getting them through customs could be a bit of a problem - there's a chance she'd be classified as an illegal assylum seeker. > She gets me into so much darn trouble! Hmmm - your sales pitch could do with a little bit of work methinks.

Nah - we're a thoroughly ethical evil twin supply company - it's why we keep the production " in house " so we can make sure that there's nothing unethical going on in their production. I guess there's always going to be one or two users who can't be bothered to stick their used evil twins in the recycling bins, but we just can't prevent that.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 4, 2002 true, after all they are all-organic but think about the evil twin consumption and waste ratio though the unit itself is recyclable the damage they do would probably outweigh the good UNLESS! We built in a fail-safe mechanism Of course! Why did I not think of it before! Ok, let me know how this sounds ET gets shipped to the buyer buyer activates ET and all is well ET goes around getting blamed for all the bad that GQ Public does then say 24 hours after having been activated the fail-safe switches on and Evil Twin metamorphosis's into Good Doer or GD for short GD goes around cleaning up litter, donating services to local charities, helping little old ladies/men across the street etc at this point GQ buyer wants to return ET for a full refund well if greedy GQ Buyer read his contract he would see that there are no refunds after the first 12 hours so now we have a Good Doer (programmed to be vegan - can use as a selling point) running around helping and if GQ Buyer sends him back, we recycle him if not, what harm can he do - none I say - only good!

It's set me thinking about diversifying a bit. We could do a line of ETs (pretty much as already planned).

Guest guest Report post Posted December 5, 2002 Good Morning Peter! I like the diversification part, but cannot in good conscience condone the ET to roam free forever. Sounds like helping to destroy Ma Earth. Ok, how about we do this. Market them by giving customers a 12 hour ET trial. After 12 hours ET goes into sleep mode, only to be reawoken back at the factory. Then, once purchased, we give them a ship date of 2 weeks time for a full version ET, UT etc. We pre-sell a bunch of these, throw the fail-safe mechanism in and then ship out all at once. Then once word gets out here in the US and in the UK, we then go globally and market elsewhere. So we sell all we can, then collect, retire early and go live in a commune (er wherever) while donating much of the proceeds to charity. Whatch think about that? nikki The language of truth is unadorned and always simple.

I agree it's a problem - perhaps we could build in an Automatic Sleepwalking Good Doer package - so that whenever ET goes to sleep, it automatically starts to undo the harm its done? > So we sell all we can, then collect, retire early and go live in a > commune (er wherever) while donating much of the proceeds to charity. I reckon we should just make our name with the ET (which will be well advertised because every newspaper magnate and politician will want one), and then after a couple of months drop the line, and just work on the GDs, etc. > fair labor is fine - no union tho But there's no need for any of this with the HWT which I believe I outlined previously. Since they'd be designed to enjoy work, they'd do double shifts on public holidays and be given some extra operating time as a bonus scheme. BB Peter --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 5, 2002 Okay -- I hope you don't mind my butting in, but I could *totally* design the look and accessories for these. I really like the concept of the various incarnations of twins. I think that would appeal to a MUCH wider target market. Apathetic twin, for instance, should be dressed in neutrals -- maybe a Gap logo on the shirt. Definitely a cell phone in hand. GD should be carrying a canvas shopping bag with an earth-y graphic on it. ET? Definitely a suit. And probably a notebook computer. But what about packaging? Are these things to scale or what? If you want to box these up, it will be really expensive -- you'll have to consider that when your figuring in the wholesale pricing of these things...

Guest guest Report post Posted December 5, 2002 Well, the thing is that these items will be relatively delicate and placing them in an individual box would be like loss prevention, you know? It would really help protect them. I think you're onto something with the cornstarch, though. Maybe that paper pulp stuff (recycled, of course) -- like the stuff they make egg crates out of?... But again...$$$$! Well, just make sure the customer pays for it, that's all... Unless we can come up with some reusable shipping crate/pallet combo.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 6, 2002 Good Morning JoJo! Hmmm.... sounds like that might just work! These will definately be to scale er else the idea won't work. i am thinking more or less forgetting the packaging and flying them to their destinations. After all, they are an exact replica of the person they are taking the blame for etc. So the actual styling will need to modified a little for each. Shipping and handling (er plane tickets) are to be included in the purchase price. Think yer up fer it? nikki Once what you have learned finds its emotional place, it is never forgotten. F.

I really like the concept of the various incarnations of twins. I think that would appeal to a MUCH wider target market. Apathetic twin, for instance, should be dressed in neutrals -- maybe a Gap logo on the shirt. Definitely a cell phone in hand. GD should be carrying a canvas shopping bag with an earth-y graphic on it. ET? Definitely a suit. And probably a notebook computer. But what about packaging? Are these things to scale or what? If you want to box these up, it will be really expensive -- you'll have to consider that when your figuring in the wholesale pricing of these things... I'm thinking a really nice ribbon with a catchy and descriptive hangtag attached to it... > tee-hee > jojo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
