Today I heard about this website, which allows you to sign up for something called a "Sockscription" program in which new socks are sent to you every couple of months. For example, according to the pricing page, you can register to have three deliveries of men's calf socks (each delivery consisting of three pairs of socks) sent to you in a year. The site even includes this helpful graphic to really spell out the concept:
Now, I am pretty scatterbrained. Basic activities like grocery shopping can sometimes overwhelm me in ways a normal person would not believe. But even I have never thought to myself, "Man--you know what? I just cannot keep up with the demand of needing to buy new socks every six months or so. It's like a landslide. Just when you think you are set in the socks department, it could be as soon as half a year before you need more!"
So my questions are:
- Who is actually using this Sockscription service?
- What else can I try and sell these people?
The answer to question #1 is obviously "rich men with feet who are unable to cope with life." As for question #2, I am currently brainstorming ideas for other things to sell to this market. I think the first product I will launch is "Q-tipscription," a service that sends new boxes of Q-tips to subscribers every 18 months. I will charge just $49.99 per year for this service, which is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly when your next box of cotton swabs is coming. It could change the world.
