A Joke iPhone Sticker Turns Into a Business

By on January 20, 2013 in Humor

The funniest jokes are the ones that turn into successful businesses, like Antenn-Aid.

NY Times:

After Apple’s iPhone 4 press conference last week, Szymon Weglarski and Jon Dorfman, two designers from Brooklyn, decided they would have a little fun with the iPhone 4’s antenna problem.

They designed tiny bandages that fit perfectly around the edge of the iPhone, opened a store on the marketplace site Etsy, and named their new product Antenn-aid. Now the two partners are rushing to keep up with orders.

“We put the site up late Friday night and we’re getting a new order every minute,” Mr. Dorfman said.

Business Opportunities Weblog editor and publisher Dane Carlson lives in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, just 15 miles from Yosemite National Park. He accidentally became a professional blogger in 2001. He has added 12,198 posts to the site.
