Introducing La-Z-Girl Furniture

Wait until the corporate folks at La-Z-Boy find out about my new idea: To launch a line of furniture for hard working women (like us) called La-Z-Girl! Okay, clarification. I am not going to launch it. Merely, I want La-Z-Boy to run with it but we will help them develop the concept (and take any finder's fee we can get for this brilliant idea). Plus, we will turn to all of you as a focus group on this project -- what fun!

I have been thinking about this for about two years now wondering why La-Z-Boy hasn't done it, especially with the current economic downturn. It's a perfect time to introduce disruptive products that will generate additional revenue streams for a company.

La-Z-Boy furniture folks are missing out on a whole new market for women entrepreneurs! After all, their slogan is: Comfort. It's what we do. How about a new one: Pamper. It's what we also do.

What do you think? Good idea or not? Let's hear from you.
