1. First of all, one of the most recent economic trends that have been around for a while is the history of young rappers. With the recent death of XXX Tentacion and Mac Miller, people have more than ever been involved in their music and in their lifestyle. They start listening to their music just wondering why these people were famous in the first place and then get more involved in their life story.
I believe that there is an opportunity in producing a movie with a full detailed documentary of their lives. After the mysterious murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G, the popular tv channel USA started broadcasting the tv show ‘Unsolved’, which was pretty much a documentary about the murders of Biggie and Tupac, and it was a complete success. They are available on Netflix and on other multiple streaming shows and people absolutely loved it. I am fully aware that getting the right to produce it is extremely difficult to get, but I do believe that the opportunity is very interesting. I watched Unsolved a couple of months ago and I found them one of the most interesting series I have ever seen.
2. Secondly, due to the upcoming hurricane season, last-minute rooftop insurances and gasoline have become upcoming trends as wells. Over the years, people always wait until the last minute to fill up their tanks and buy important products in case of a hurricane catastrophe. Even though petrol and rooftop insurances are essential, night lamps, water, and canned food are also highly demanded.
I believe that there is an opportunity in purchasing hurricane products weeks before the hurricane season at a normal price and selling them during hurricane season at a higher price since every year, stores ran out of essential hurricane tools. Last year during hurricane Irma, people could not buy water for days before the hurricane, gas station ran out completely of gasoline, and canned food was sold weeks before. I personally had to get as many plastic bottles as I could find and fill them up with water from my fridge since all the water bottles were sold out.
3. Thirdly, I believe that after the Serena Williams incident in the U.S open will lead to new regulatory changes. Serena got fined after having an outburst during a game and breaks her racket. She calls the chair umpire a thief and states in front the entire audience and the entire world, that male tennis players have had worse reactions during a tennis game and that nothing would have happened to them. According to her, she would have been treated differently, since she is a woman, which has caused not only a scandal towards the entire United States Tennis Association but also in the entire world.
I believe that there is an opportunity for installing more precise and sophisticated technological products and hiring a second chair umpire in order to get a better decision. Soccer always had the problem of corrupt referees since they would treat a team in a different way than another, but since the recent World Cup, referees are using the Var, which allows them to have a better look at unclear goals or fouls.
4. Finally, medical Marijuana has been legalized in the State of Florida. This regulatory event happened a few months ago which has been up for debate for years. Florida has been one of the most important states who has been against the consumption of marijuana in the entire country.
But I believe that with its legalization, we are able to open newer stores that sell medical marijuana and promote it more than ever. Until this moment, any consumption of marijuana was illegal in Florida which made opening stores related to its consumption illegal as well. But with its changes to regulation, now is the time more than ever to open up different stores related to the consumption of medical marijuana such as marijuana-based treatment facilities, spas, and relaxation centers.
Alexandro,
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with your idea about creating a documentary on someone like XXtentaction or Mac Miller. I've seen the Straight Out of Compton movie which basically documents everything in the rise of the group NWA and I loved it. I know artists like Mac Miller and XXXtentaction way better than I do NWA so I could only see myself enjoying it more. I really hope somewhere out there in Hollywood someone is producing this documentary.
Hey Alexandro,
ReplyDeleteI think that your idea on opening stores regarding medical marijuana, has a lot of merit. One issue that I think you would run into is how to acquire all of the permits (if there are any required) necessary to provide these activities. I think that you did a very good job at seeing opportunities that other people may not have seen, and all of your ideas can be turned into profitable businesses given the right amount of time and effort.
Hi Alexandro,
ReplyDeleteI think you were able to find some very specific opportunities out of these trends. I specifically like your medical marijuana idea of promoting and marketing it as a positive and helpful treatment. However, I’m wondering how hard it would be to create and run all those facilities with the fact that marijuana is still federally illegal being a barrier. There are dispensaries already opened in Florida, but there is always a risk of getting into federal trouble for running it.
