Q&A: "My 'road trip kit' for truck stops…"
A listener has a cool idea: they want to sell a road trip kit. I'll let them explain more in their question.
My idea is a "road trip kit" that combines a few helpful and fun items in a box that sells at truck stops and gift shops. You'd get a compass, an old-school atlas of U.S. road maps, an air freshener, and maybe some snacks that you can't find at the average store.
I know that people don't need a compass or paper maps to drive these days, but the idea is that it's a cool gift or even just a nice thing to buy for yourself. I might even include a mixtape if I can figure out how to make them… maybe cassette players will make a comeback. What are your thoughts on this idea?
Make sure you have a target market in mind: truckers are very different than people going on road trips—and of course, people going on road trips do so for all kinds of different reasons.
I like selling them in gift shops more than truck stops—and also on Amazon. There could be themes: "graduation" road trip, "moving cross country" road trip, and so on.
It doesn't have to be only useful items—something that's fun or sparks nostalgia has real value. I like it! Let me know what happens.
