FREE SHRIMPING!

May 30, 2009 | RSS | EMAIL | PRINT | 8 COMMENTS

[Disclaimer: I realize this is probably not funny to anyone but me. But it makes me laugh every time I think about it so I'm making you all listen.]

Yesterday I had this ridiculous idea that I should start an online shoe store or something (like a competitor to Zappos) and instead of offering free shipping, I offer free shrimping (like I have a shrimp boat and when you buy a product you can come shrimping one morning).

[Okay, you can now carry on with whatever you were doing.]

Update (5/31/09): Apprently there's some unsavory definition for shrimping (which I will not be Googling). I was not aware of this when writing this post and was using the Forrest Gump definition where you own a shrimp boat and go out and catch shrimp. Okay, glad that we've got that cleared up.

Heh. Similar to my dream, that when we make it big with We Are Social, I'll retire and buy a yurt... ;)

Hey not a bad idea, it's like bmw with trips to germany and also equally odd german connotations to the "unsavory definition" in question that may or may not be found at urbandictionary.com

haha thanks for sharing

I'm sure that after you mull over this concept for a while, you'll see that there are great opportunities there, especially within the experience economy. I'll let you work it out, but there are great possibilities that can arise out of those quirky little ideas.
