Top 85 Business Ideas for April

From Grocery Store Yoga Classes to AR-Infused Windows

— April 28, 2018 — Business
This list of April 2018 business ideas outline the different ways in which companies are going above and beyond to improve a customer's satisfaction, both in-store and online.

Clothing retailer Zara has been infusing its brick-and-mortar locations with high-tech offerings to make for a more digitized shopping experience. This month alone, the brand has implemented an AR-infused clothing app and AR display windows. Most interestingly, is the brand's recent implementation of a warehouse robot, which will be responsible for the efficient retrieval of over 24, 000 packages.

Businesses are also shifting their efforts to host more entertainment-focused events in unconventional spaces. Examples of this include yoga events hosted in grocery stores, makeup pop-ups hosted in cafes and aquarium-based dining events.
