eicolab: design thinking for business innovation

Selling blenders…

“Boring!!!” I hear you say. Who gives a blip about blenders, right? I certainly have not thought about one at all until now.

Have a look at this excellent viral marketing idea: http://www.willitblend.com/

    A similar technique is used by a company in Oregon which makes industrial-scale shredders. A big yawn normally. But they’ve posted a gallery of videos of their machines in action, including one which can turn three dishwashers into ragged shards in ten seconds.
