Brad, this is best as a discussion, so I added it. Let's talk first about the idea itself (then about the "art of the start")

It's a fact that people don't like unsolicited email, etc...but your idea could enable people to turn on and off push messages. That would let them receive push messages when they wanted, like when they are in a mall, and not at other times that may be irrelevant.

 

Let's discuss!

What if someone were to talk to all of the mall businesses and see if they might try to make a contest using an app.

One of the restaurants could offer a free entree to the winner for example.

The participant would have to go to each kiosk to find the missing something or other.

The winner would then get the prize.

That way the participants would have to visit all of the kiosks in order to win.

A url in the form of a QR-Code might be used to make the whole thing work.

It could be printed by each kiosk.

 

Brad, If you like, try taking your favorite idea and use an outline of a business plan as a feasibility study to see how viable it is and what it would take for that one idea to go. Post it here in it's simplest form...an outline with the least info as possible covering the basic business plan req'ts.
