We have all at one time or another had the thought of preserving something for ourselves or our descendants, after forty or fifty years have passed. With this thought in mind, many people have been packing certain things and trinkets for decades that they want to bury in the ground, hide deep somewhere, and get back in their old age. There is even a certain tradition for this reason: putting some little things or papers in a safe container that you will want to get out after many, many years and read the message, indulge in memories, and get something most valuable and preserved. Many call such containers “time capsules”, as was the case in the film with Nicholas Cage, “The Omen”.
Turning Nostalgia Into a Business
In general, the creation of such a time capsule has the goal of preserving some memories for the future, reminders for yourself or for your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. Almost any jar or bottle that will not spoil over time and will keep its correct shape can be suitable for such purposes. And many people in this sense want to preserve their “memories” in a more elegant and cultural form. Since our site is related to business ideas, let’s move on to the main idea.
The next interesting business idea dates back to 1992, and its author is Jeff McCarthy from Indiana, USA. Jeff then decided to create a company called The Original Time Capsule Company, which began producing beautifully designed, designer time capsules, thanks to which anyone could save nostalgic things and documents for decades to come. This interesting business idea, helping people save certain elements of their lives, became a real breakthrough in its own way and has since had a huge success with almost everyone on our planet. Just think, you can put anything you want in a “time capsule”, from newspapers to CDs, photographs, trinkets, keychains, cars, and documents.
The Business of Time Travel
Why did people like this specific business idea so much? The thing is that Jeff came up with a whole series of auxiliary stickers for it, saying “do not open until…”, a set of different postcards, stickers for disks, and notebooks. All that was left for a person to do was to put in there the things he wanted to seal, close the lid of the jar tightly, and seal it. And of course, hide it well or bury it, or whatever everyone likes.
The average price of one capsule is about 30 US dollars, and you can choose several different options, both for children’s pranks and for personal or wedding needs. Also, the capsules have different sizes and design options.
Think for yourself and agree that this business idea simply cannot fail, because such creative products and actions are liked by people. Each person can find something that they would like to seal well, hide far away, and then, after 20-30-40 years, dig it up and indulge in good memories. After all, these can be not only your things, but also gifts for your children, some wishes for grandchildren, and hidden valuables. Believe me, all this will make sense for every person who has something to remember and save.
