One-shot offer: Offer a reduced, pre-release version of your product or service for a very limited time to see if there is real interest. The founders of Airbnb validated their original crazy idea (and filled their then-empty household budget) with three simple air mattresses in their home in San Francisco. The same approach led legendary entrepreneur Richard Branson to found Virgin Airlines when he was left stranded at the airport after a canceled flight to the Virgin Islands and promptly chartered his own plane and picked up the stranded passengers (almost all of whom boarded).
Infiltrator: Use the flow of customers in an lebanon rcs data existing (stationary or digital) store and put an exhibit of your idea on the shelves to see if people would buy it. This also happened impressively in San Francisco, when designer Justin Porcano offered his product idea "Walhub" for sale uninvited in the local Ikea under the name "Wälhub".
Impostor : point for your new product. To do this, check whether there are other products that are close enough to your idea and can be used with little work to embody the new product you have in mind. Again, take Tesla and Elon Musk as a role model, who slightly modified a Lotus sports car, replaced the petrol engine with an electric motor and was thus able to present the first electric car that also appealed to real car fans and not just idealists who wanted to do something for the environment. In return, enough people were quickly found to put down a deposit for the first real model. There is hardly any better proof of "real" demand.
