A new Trend

Hey Everyone,
Kelly asked me if I would be willing to share with the class about a a new business my family has just bought into. It fits in nicely with the way a number of small businesses are coming up with new creative trends that are very economical and will attract people.

Our new teardrop trailer business was started because of a growing trend for people looking for an economical way to go on vacation and be part of the "green" trend.These trailers are light to tow-only affecting your m.p.g. by no more than 2 m.p.g. or less. With some vehicles, they have actually increased their m.p.g. due to the streamlined design! Their teardropshape has caught alot of people's attention and that is obvious by the heavy traffic we are getting on them with our new dealership of them. We have already placed 4 orders for customers and we haven't officially opened the doors yet! We get so many phonecalls that we haven't wanted to turn away potential customers even though our showroom is not all ready. A new design for a Little Guy Teardrop trailer is in the works to install flexible solar panels on the roof of the teardrop camper and to incorporate a substantial battery array into the design of the trailer, providing a significant source of additional power for the electric or hybrid tow vehicle. They also plan to include a biodiesiel generator that runs on vegetable oil or french fry oil. The solar panels can recharge the batteries while the vehicle is in tow, and the generator can replenish battery charge whenever the vehicle is stopped. They hope to extend the range of a hybrid tow vehicle by a factor of two. This would enable a Toyota Prius, for example, to drive from Akron, Ohio to Disney World on one tank of gas plus the initial charge of the battery array and the small biodiesiel reservoir." They are one of the first in their industry to do this and others will soon follow this trend.

  1. just to add a note...even though we haven't officially opened our doors yet, we have our sign up and website up so that people can call and make appointments to come see the trailers. We can not sell any of the trailers on our lot but people can pick what kind of trailer they want, design, ect. and they can place the order through us. We still get a comission as long as the trailer sale is placed through us.
    I just thought I'd leave this note!
