Yet another business plan

This time I've got it, this is a winner. Unlike my other business ideas this is a one which would not be worth putting your life savings in to but if you already own this type of business it would be a worthwhile service to add to your current services.

So, here we go....

Yesterday, I needed to go and get a battery put in my watch so I thought I'll make a day out of it. So, I went up to Newcastle, dropped my watch in then was planning on going for a coffee.  So, I handed my watch over and the man said 'come back in 40 minutes.' I thought, 'but you've got my watch pal.'  If I don't have my watch how can I judge time? 40 mins is ok because I can guesstimate. But what if he said, come back in 3 hours, I wouldn't have a clue.  So, I thought about it and I thought about cars. When my car went away for repair what did I get? A courtesy car! So why can't we have a courtesy watch when our watch is in for repair? It's a simple idea, but why not?

So, to sum up, I think every watch repair specialists should offer customers a courtesy watch service when there own watch is in for repair/battery change etc.  This could be moved out to other companies like getting a courtesy suit whilst yours is dry cleaned.

A question answered before you ask....But we all have phones with the time on? Yes you do, but what if you are a business man who's watch is away for a week for repairs. Imagine you are in an important meeting or sat in your office at work, would your boss be happy seeing you pull your phone out all the time to check the time?
