So I feel like I’m posing this question in the right place, and I hope I get some good feedback.
I’m a college student and some friends and I were talking about ways we can make some money manufacturing a product. Granted they don’t yoyo, I keep thinking about all of these companies that have started up in the yoyoing scene and have done well.
I don’t want to be like everyone else and just start a yoyo manufacturing company, I am trying to be different and I would like some suggestions.
If you had to pick one thing that you feel is missing from the world of yoyoing what would it be? What could a group of guys get together and make that you think will be of interest to people. Competition is not an issue, I’m not expecting a one of a kind idea. I am just curious as to what would make the life of the yoyoer easier, better, or even just cooler.
Basically it just comes down to: What do you all see as something that is not really frequently found throughout these forums that you would like to get your hands on?
a thing? left handed string… man i would kill for something like this cause there is little of these being produced. that and some better yoyoing multi tools the only one you really find are the one from monkey finger and YYF
I’m really liking the ideas guys: Keep it coming! Let me know your favorite so far too I’m on my desktop learning AutoCAD as I type lol.
So far here is what we’ve got:
Your Ideas:
Flaming yoyos (Not gonna happen)
Interchangeable Rim Yoyo - I’m actually looking into this now
Left Handed String (Plausible, but I’m not left handed soooo maybe not the best choice)
Multi-tools - I also thought of this while I was at work! Maybe its a sign :o
Nickel Plating - I would be seriously interested in doing this. It my be tricky but if I could get good at it I’d be in business for sure
My Ideas:
Specialty Counter Weights
The multi-tools
Custom Wood Yo-Yo Display Shelves
Maybe YoYoExpert Related things? Things that they don’t have in the store.
I wasnt planning on doing dice or anything that has been done, it would’ve been like just different shaped interesting object that I could maybe call “5A Weights”
They actually used to be. There was a metal yoyo a few years back that had a wick inside and holes in the body/caps that was designed to be lit on fire and used. They have been out of production for quite a while, though.
