Leeches have been used to treat patients for centuries. There are approximately 600 leech species which have been identified to date but only about 15 are used in medicine.

Leech therapy has been used in European countries since 18th and 19th centuries. Today, doctors use leeches for treating abscesses, painful joints, glaucoma, myasthenia, and to heal venous diseases and thrombosis. Medical leeches are used in plastic surgery, for improving brain circulation and for curing infertility. Some even claim that this could be an alternative acne treatment.

Potentially, this could be a business opportunity for those who are interested in alternative medicine.

If you have a thing for helping people to move stuff, why not consider running a junk removal service business.

Take for example 1-800-GOT-JUNK a canadian company. It started back in the late nineteen eighties by two university students. They help people to remove things they don’t need. That means they take away almost anything – from old furniture, appliances and electronics to yard waste and renovation debris. Service will be charged based on volume of junk being removed.

Look at this way, another opportunity here is the possibility of selling some of this junks away either through a garage sale or a second-hand item dealer. In other words, you have two potential source of income. Not bad at all for a garbage collector.

The next time you are thinking of starting your own brand of drinks, why not come up with something unique.

Consider a Singaporean company who came up with the concept of packaging the drinks with a unique concept such that every beverage has a generic design with no way of telling what flavour is contained in the can. Therefore, the consumers have no idea what flavour they bought until they drink it.

The drinks are are simply labelled as  “Anything” which is carbonated that comes in six flavours and “Whatever” which is non-carbonated and is also made in six flavours.

A very interesting marketing concept indeed.
