A Curated Visit to the Store
Why?
You go to a store (a book store for instance), and you are interested in a particular subject. You find the shelf you’re looking for, but there are so many options, that unless you already have some knowledge, it’s hard to decide what books to buy and in what order to read them.
How?
Make an appointment with a specialist and specify what you are interested in (for instance books about the history of science, or productivity, etc.) You’ll meet at an agreed upon time at a big store, and he will do a whole tour of the subject with you, and give you an independent advice on what to buy.

Peer to Peer Free Backup Cloud
Why?
For you to have your data backed up in a different physical location for free.
How?
Join the service and install the software on your device. Choose the files you want to be backed up. The same amount of space will be allocated for others’ data on your device. You can select multiple redundant backups, and you’ll need to provide the same amount of storage for others. Everything else is automatic.

A Calculator for Marketers to Make Sure Customers Pick the Price Option You Want to Sell
Why?
Presented with two price options, customers tend to (mostly) choose the lower price. Introducing a third price option that is higher than the two previous ones will make most customers choose the upper option of the first two. How do you know how to price these option for optimal success?
How?
A calculator (app or online), where you input the price you want most customers to choose, and will get in return two other prices, a lower one, and a higher one. These, when used properly, will influence most customers to choose the price you want (middle one.) You’ll also get ideas how to package the different price options for maximum effect.
