Competition Analysis
There is none, you could create the market. I had a hard time even finding cardboard sign pictures. There is NO ONE that specializes in this.
Why This Business Will Be EXTREMLY PROFITABLE:
All it takes is one person to get on TV with your cardboard sign and you are money in the bank, you could explode overnight! Carboard.TV is short & easy to remember. Almost every professional sports announcer scans the crowd looking for signs to circle.
People actually come to Minnesota Twins Games with Cardboard Signs that say “Circle Me Bert” trying to convince broadcaster Bert Blyleven to circle them! Look it up on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Blyleven
All it takes is for one sign to get on ESPN with your logo on it; if you sell enough of these, sports broadcasters will catch on – announcers usually have nothing better to talk about half way through a ballgame anyway...
The Hard Part:
WebBizIdeas.com will have no problem building the site, but setting up an finding the technology needed to mass produce cardboard signs & manage the supply of goods – that will be the difficult part. Included in this is internet business consulting to figure out the machinery needed in order to accomplish this + supply chain management consulting; we already have some good leads.
** NOTE: That does not include buying the machinery of paying for any warehouses.
