| There is indeed a dollar value one can pin to the extra parking availability. It's business dependent, but absolutely it can be tied to additional revenue. And yeah, 'personal scooter consultant' is the pitch. It's concierge and not traditional, but so am I. As far as mass market application of this concierge service, I don't think there needs to be a mass market adaptation. Once there's some minimum buy-in, scooters will be normalized and more and more people will default into using them. Its way more likely you would buy a scooter once you'd ridden on a friend's scooter from the gym to a local park for throwing a Frisbee. If, however, you didn't know anyone who owned a scooter, maybe you'd never own your own. So... I'll hand-hold and concierge whatever is required to get critical mass. I've already got two friends that have bought scooters, and they love it. I have four more friends now about to take the plunge. Scooters spread through friend groups, it seems. Once you see how many problems they solve, and how much more fun and convenient they are, it's hard to unsee. But it's damned hard to be the first person to make that choice. I, too, don't know that I have seen this exact model before, but each scooter purchase saves a parking spot for another customer, so the businesses I work with will be invested in the results. It's fun to work on, and everyone I've talked to has been super interested. Parking issues dominate the lives of general managers/directors/owners of Denver area businesses. They'll try nearly anything to make those problems be less of an issue. |
