While observing the key to successful business ideas, have you noticed a common thread? The path to successful business journeys often begins with addressing problems that everyone seem to have, with no convenient solutions readily available. Indeed, whether it was Etsy that gave the world a new way to buy and sell handmade goods, or Airbnb that transformed the way people find accommodations, commerce prospers when innovativation addresses unmet needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One such need is the climate change imperative. For those listening, warning bells have been ringing, throwing caution to the winds, if not literally, for a future that may not be as pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read the inspiring story of Lorraine Allman, UK-based seasoned entrepreneur – who \u201clistened\u201d to the significant waste produced by the the party supplies industry. So she set out to lay the groundwork for \u201creal change\u201d with a YoKart powered marketplace – for a promising future with a business that has promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ans<\/strong>: For the last 10 years or so, I\u2019ve been working with families and educators, helping them nurture a Can-Do mindset in children through screen-free play. Whilst I\u2019ve loved this work and have seen the positive impact it has had on children, families, and schools, I was feeling increasingly unsure as to the next steps for the business so took time out to think about what I wanted to do next. In particular, I reflected on the legacy that I will leave to help my son\u2019s generation and generations to follow be better able to look after this planet. I realised I wasn\u2019t really doing all that I could and it didn\u2019t take me long to work out just how much of a significant contributor to waste, and plastic waste in particular the party supplies industry is.\u00a0 So I set about looking at ways to be part of the solution, rather than the problem, and the result is the Party Without Plastic\u00ae <\/sup>Marketplace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans<\/strong>: Through my market research I identified the size of the party supplies market, and noticed the growth trend in areas such as sustainability. As children are increasingly learning through school about climate change and the damage plastics can do to our planet, I learnt of the struggle parents, and indeed anyone-else organising a celebration has in trying to source genuinely plastic products for their parties. It made sense to bring everything together into one marketplace that is a trusted one-stop-shop for everything plastic-free from tableware and decorations, to party bags, favours, gift wrap and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQ2.
