Olympics have inspired a group of teenagers to pursue a unique business idea. Five teenagers have planned to sell wristbands based on the ideals of olympic and Paralympic games. These teenagers have come up with a scheme called value bands, which would see them create a range of seven collectable wristbands made from rubber or fabric, and based on the ethos of the sporting events. The wristbands would be sold in covered cases so that consumers would not be able to see which color they were buying - an idea the group hoped would encourage children to trade the bands with friends until they collected a full set. Once a buyer had all seven colors, they would be eligible for a speical rainbow band in the olympic colors.

Fluorescent bands can be useful to young children who get lost while shopping late at night for Christmas in Shrewsbury. These bands will reunite the children with their parents. These bands can be placed around the child’s wrist on which the contact number is written, so if the youngster gets lost, police can quickly reunite them with their family. Police officials came up with this idea after being inspired by a similar scheme at the Shrewsbury flower this year. The band will have only contact details and not the name of the child or address details. If police officials found a lost child they have to just call up at the number on the band and reunite the child with the parent. Parents are really happy with this scheme because these bands can save their children when they are lost.
