Education From Unusual Source
I had a hospital appointment today and where I went to is the largest hospital in the area. Inside the hospital foyer, it sounded and felt like a market place: famous coffee bars, restaurants, newsagents, different kinds of stores selling a variety of products. It was vibrant and you would not believe it’s a hospital.
What struck me though was when I was approaching the entrance of the hospital from the car park. A new niche had set up for the first time just outside the hospital entrance – fruit stalls. They were heaving with people and business was indeed very good.
What came to me was that the proprietors had identified a need and capitalised on it hence the fruiterer niche. At least here in the south of the UK, fresh flowers had been banned from hospitals. So what would you bring a patient, especially on a scorching summer day? Variety of fruits!
The penny dropped about researching and finding a need for your niche. It could be the most innocuous niche, but if there’s a need for it and you position yourself well for it, ka-ching; the money register of success will keep ringing :))

We have a shop around the corner that takes fruit and cuts them into designs that look like flowers. I think it is called Edible Flowers I think.

You could do articles on turning fruit and vegetables into shapes that look like flowers.
Follow that up with 3-4 minute videos on how to do "Simple shapes" With more complex shapes sold as "How to " videos.
Let us not forget the monthly membership site that has a "New shape every week along with fruit and vegetable combinations Also the selling of individual holders and knives to cut the fruit.
And the last thing is the "You made this competition" where you get people to send you pictures of the creations they have made and judged for the "Arrangement of the Month" that gets highlighted, and you interview the creator.
YOU GO, GIRL
