Well, all that was interesting, wasn't it? But
so what? How can that help you make any money?

Let's take Interesting Fact #31, the one about
the guy inventing the microwave oven after his candy bar
melted when he walked by a radar tube. Obviously, that caused
him to have an "aha" experience which led to the
invention and sales of tens of millions of microwave ovens.
Today, I read something in the news and it gave me an
"aha" experience: A recent survey shows the number
one reason people purchase a camcorder is the birth of a new
child. It seems to me that nugget of information would open
all sorts of possibilities for people who sell camcorders.
First, they could get a mailing list of mothers-to-be or
brand-new mothers who recently gave birth to their babies.
They could solicit these specific mothers by direct mail with
an enticing reason to buy a camcorder from them.

Another possibility, is running headlines of
this nature: "K-Mart
Offers 50% Discount On Sony Camcorders To All Women Who Are
More Than Seven Months Pregnant."

Or, perhaps, a certain camcorder could be
"positioned" as a "baby cam" specifically
designed to record the adventures and events which occur as
your new child's life unfolds.
